Gracie Hunt’s engagement ring is full of sentimental features.
Gracie, 27, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt and Chiefs Women’s Organization director Tavia Shackles Hunt, opened up about her dazzling engagement ring from fiancée Derek Green in a new interview.
“Derek designed the ring alongside Lyles DeGrazier, which makes it incredibly special to me because so much intention and thought went into every detail,” she told People on Tuesday, April 7, just days after Green, 26, got down on one knee and proposed to her in Mexico.
Gracie continued, “Lyles’ master jeweler, Scott Polk, who also helped design my mother’s ring, was part of the process, which made it feel even more meaningful and connected to my family.”
Her massive ring features an elongated cushion-cut diamond set on an emerald-embellished band, which Gracie explained was a “subtle nod to his last name, Green.”
“I think [that] is such a thoughtful and personal touch,” she gushed.
Gracie’s ring is even more special because of a personal engraving that Green included.
“What makes it even more sentimental is that he had one of my favorite Bible verses engraved inside the band,” she said, explaining that it serves as “a constant reminder of the foundation of faith [their] relationship is built on.”
Gracie and Green reconnected at Arrowhead Stadium in 2017, thanks to the NFL team, and announced that their friendship turned romantic in May 2025. At the time, she posted a number of photos of Green, who is the son of former Chiefs player Trent Green, holding hands.
Gracie announced that she and Green got engaged on Sunday, April 5, via Instagram. “It was always you 💍❤️♾️,” the bride-to-be captioned a number of photos of Green asking for her hand in marriage. She added, “‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.’”
