Talks are swirling about a potential new romance for Gracie Hunt, the 26-year-old heiress of the Kansas City Chiefs. The daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has recently garnered attention regarding her personal life, and photos from her West Coast trip have further ignited these rumors.
Hunt was recently rumored to have ended her relationship with former East Carolina quarterback Cody Keith. Hunt and Keith publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2024. While neither has issued an official statement about a split, the sudden disappearance of Keith’s photos from Hunt’s social media has intensified breakup speculation.
Now, breakup speculation isn’t the only kind of rumor Hunt is igniting.
Gracie Hunt Hints at Another Love Affair Following Breakup
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a globally renowned event for music enthusiasts, boasts a star-studded lineup this year, including Lady Gaga, Post Malone, Charlie XCX, and Megan Thee Stallion. First held in 1999, some version of the event has been held every year since 2001, except for 2020 and 2021 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
It wasn’t just Hunt’s presence at the 10-day festival that sparked the rumors. It was a cryptic Instagram story featuring a mysterious man. In the story, Hunt was seen with her arms around an unidentified man at Arrowhead Stadium, captioned with a lyric from Taylor Swift’s ‘Invisible String’: “After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place… all along there was some invisible string.”
While not an official confirmation of her current relationship status, the picture fueled fan speculation. Hunt’s subsequent posts are likely to be closely watched by fans, who anticipate a possible reveal of her rumored new partner.
Hunt and Cody Keith’s Breakup Rumors
Just days before her Coachella trip, Hunt posted a caption that subtly hinted at her rumored breakup with Keith. “When grace is your response and happiness is your headline,” wrote Clark Hunt’s daughter alongside pictures of herself in a white dress with a gold bag.
Adding to the believability of the rumors was Keith’s absence at Super Bowl 59 — which the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 — especially considering he is frequently seen supporting the Chiefs alongside Hunt. Hunt was also reportedly absent from Keith’s birthday celebrations last month, further convincing fans of their separation.
During their relationship, the pair reportedly traveled to different cities to visit each other and compensated for missed dates with FaceTime calls, as People reported. Keith, now a real estate broker, joined his family’s firm after being associated with several teams before entering the industry.
