Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, turned plenty of heads during the team’s Christmas evening game against the Denver Broncos.
The main storyline heading into the Broncos-Chiefs game was whether or not it’d be the last time Travis Kelce suits up at Arrowhead Stadium. The future Hall of Famer has not yet announced if he’ll play football in 2026. To be fair, he’ll be 37 next season and he’s already won three Super Bowl titles. What else is left for him to accomplish?

After the Chiefs lost 20-13 to the Broncos on Thursday night, Kelce greeted several fans as he was walking off the field. It was an emotional moment for the All-Pro tight end, make no mistake about it.
“A whole lot of emotions,” Kelce said. “You’ve got everybody in the world watching you. You get to go out there with the young guys on prime-time television. Young guys getting an opportunity to taste what this NFL life is like. You only get a few of those [occasions] where you get to stand there and appreciate 70,000 Chiefs fans cheering for you.”

Although the spotlight was supposed to be on Kelce for the majority of the game, Gracie Hunt managed to steal his thunder.

The Chiefs heiress wore a red outfit that legitimately left NFL fans speechless.
“Merry Christmas! Soaking up our last home game this season,” Hunt wrote. “Chiefs Kingdom—you make game days so special. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a blessed start to 2026! See you guys back here next summer for a different kind of football.”
Big week for the Hunt family.
The Chiefs announced on Monday that Arrowhead Stadium won’t be their home after the 2030 season. They’ll build a $3 billion domed stadium that’ll sit across the Kansas-Missouri state line.

“We made a decision as a family that this was the right opportunity and the best for the organization for several reasons. It’s about the fans. My dad [Lamar Hunt] was always about the fans and thinking about the future,” Clark Hunt said. “This will give Chiefs kingdom a state-of-the-art facility for multiple generations, a building that can last for at least 50 or 60 years. We believe it’s the best thing for the region. It will give Kansas City the opportunity to bid on events that we can’t host right now, like the Super Bowl, the College Football Playoff and the NCAA Final Fours.”
The new venue for the Chiefs will have at least 65,000 seats. It’s expected to be ready for the start of the 2031 season.
