Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and Green, whose dad Trent played for Kansas City for six seasons, went public with their relationship back in 2025. The pair have known each other since childhood, and both attended Southern Methodist University, where Green played football.
Speaking to People about their relationship last summer, Hunt revealed that they would play together as children at the Chiefs' Christmas parties, before then later reconnecting as adults.

Hunt said, "Derek and I have known each other our whole lives.
"We would actually play together as babies during the Chiefs' Christmas parties every year, and then we reconnected as adults in 2017 and met on the sidelines pregame.
She continued, "We reconnected in early March [2025] and have been inseparable ever since."

Meanwhile, in other Chiefs news, Kelce and Swift's upcoming wedding this summer could be affected by Kansas City's offseason program, after it was announced the team would hold its three-day mandatory minicamp just two days before the pair are due to tie the knot on June 13.
The Chiefs will hold OTA workouts between May 26-28 and June 1-3, events for which Kelce does not need to be present because they are optional. However, they have a three-day mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 9-11, which will end just two days before the wedding.
