But who exactly is Gracie Hunt's beau Derek Green?
Derek Green is the son of former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. He is the youngest of Trent Green's two sons, both of whom also played quarterback in their respective college football teams.
Trent Green had a long career in the NFL, spending 15 years in the league. He played for the Chiefs from 2001 to 2006, coming to Arrowhead just a year after winning the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams. Now his son is apparently dating the team's heiress.
Derek Green played quarterback for SMU, a private university in Dallas, from 2018 to 2021 before transferring to Long Island University in 2022. Both Gracie Hunt and her father, Clark Hunt, also attended SMU. However, according to his LinkedIn, he did not pursue a career in the NFL like his dad, instead opting to work as a sports operations manager in Kansas City.
Derek Green's romance with Gracie Hunt was hinted at by the latter in a previous Instagram story that showed Hunt hugging a mystery man as they stood overlooking the Arrowhead Stadium. That mystery man is now believed to have been Green.
The couple was also spotted attending the White House Correspondents' dinner together in late April, which is where the rumours of a budding romance between the two originated. Now, the hard launch is apparently complete as the couple gets ready to navigate their journey in the limelight.

Martina Navratilova explodes after Donald Trump rewards NFL s*x offender Lawrence Taylor with Presidential Fitness role
Martina Navratilova explodes after Donald Trump rewards NFL s*x offender Lawrence Taylor with Presidential Fitness role (Image via Getty) Martina Navratilova expresses her anger after US President Donald Trump gave a key role to NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, who is a registered s*x offender and former drug user. On Thursday, July 31, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test at a public event held in Orlando, Florida. The program was once common in US schools but was stopped in 2012 during Barack Obama's presidency. To support the comeback, Trump picked several big athletes to join the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, including WWE star Paul 'Triple H' Levesque and Lawrence Taylor. Martina Navratilova slams Donald Trump for picking Lawrence Taylor in government fitness team Lawrence Taylor is among the best football players in NFL history, but some people are angry about his position because of his previous felonies. Strong social voice and tennis legend Martina Navratilova took to social media to criticise Trump for this action. On the same day the announcement was made, Martina Navratilova reacted strongly online. She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Nothing like hiring a s*x offender and a former drug abuser for this particular job…' A registered s*x offender, Taylor, who played for the New York Giants, was arrested in 2011 for engaging in sexual behavior with a minor.

Critics claim it is incorrect to allow someone with that type of history to help direct a nationwide adolescent and teen health program. This decision became even more controversial because Donald Trump himself has been linked to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Epstein was arrested for child trafficking and later died in jail in 2019. Donald Trump was once friends with Epstein, and though he denies any wrongdoing, his name has been brought up in related investigations.

On Monday, July 29, Trump accused James Comey and Merrick Garland of planting false evidence in the Epstein files to frame him. In response, Navratilova wrote on X, 'He is scared…' She has been speaking up more about Donald Trump's actions, especially when it comes to people he supports or hires. Many followers agreed with her posts, adding fuel to the debate over Lawrence Taylor's appointment and Trump's past connections.

The NFL's official account led the charge, posting a photo of Brady flashing all his Super Bowl rings with the caption, 'Happy birthday GOAT.' Fans followed suit, flooding timelines with goat emojis, throwback highlights, and enough digital confetti to rival a Lombardi celebration. A bunch of Leo-season tweets poured in too, with people joking, 'Of course he's a Leo 😭♌️' and dubbing him the 'August GOAT.'
