Who Is Kansas City Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt’s Boyfriend? All About Cody Keith

Gracie Hunt and her boyfriend, Cody Keith, are picture-perfect.

The former beauty pageant winner confirmed her relationship with Keith in September 2024. As the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, Hunt is deeply involved with the football team and often brings Keith along to games with her. Aside from his girlfriend’s ties to the NFL, Keith previously was a quarterback at East Carolina University.

“Monday nights under the lights ❤️‍🔥 #ChiefsKingdom,” Hunt captioned a series of photos at a November 2024 game, including a photo of herself and Keith on the football field.

While the couple’s relationship is relatively new, they’ve made several public appearances together, including the Breakaway Music Festival in September in Charlotte, N.C., and a Halloween party the following month, where they both dressed up as Captain America.

So who is Gracie Hunt’s boyfriend? Here’s everything to know about Cody Keith and his relationship with the Chiefs philanthropist. 

He was a college football quarterback 

Keith grew up in Charlotte, but in his junior year of high school, his family moved across the country to Pasadena, Calif., according to his bio on The Keith Corporation. After graduating, Keith returned to the east coast to attend East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., where he played quarterback on his school’s football team.

He was granted a full athletic scholarship and graduated early with his bachelor’s degree in communications in 2014 after three and a half years.

Like his girlfriend, Keith built ties with the NFL following his college football career. He took part in several rookie mini-camps within the NFL, attending training camps with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts. After that, he filled a pre-season roster spot playing with the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

He’s a licensed real estate broker

While Keith is often on the sidelines cheering on the Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo., his roots are in Charlotte.

After his football career ended, he joined his family’s real estate firm, The Keith Corporation, in 2019. From there, he began working as a licensed broker in North Carolina with a focus on “representation and build-to-suit development,” per his bio.

Hunt and Keith confirmed their relationship in September 2024

Hunt and Keith made things Instagram official in September 2024. In a carousel of photos highlighting the end of her summer and time spent on a farm, Hunt shared her first selfie with the broker as he kissed her on the cheek.

After they confirmed their romance, Keith began regularly attending public events with his partner, including several Chiefs games and charity galas.

They split their time between multiple cities

While Hunt primarily resides in Dallas and Kansas City, Keith is based in Charlotte. However, the two often visit one another — and spend a lot of time on the football field together.

After a late November football game, Hunt shared a video of her running into Keith’s arms in the middle of an empty stadium while he spun her around and kissed her. “Postgame shenanigans 💃🏼💋,” she wrote under the post.

Hunt and Keith both lead busy lives, but they make time for each other in special ways, including dates on FaceTime.

The philanthropist shared a glimpse into her relationship just before Thanksgiving, posting a screenshot of her on the phone with Keith on FaceTime to her Instagram Stories. “FaceTime date with him ❤️,” she wrote over the image.

He’s proud of Gracie’s success

Keith has been an avid supporter of Hunt’s career in the sports industry — as well as her philanthropic efforts. In September, he attended a fundraising event for the Salvation Army alongside her and commended her “talents, intelligence, creativity and stunning beauty” in the comments section of Hunt’s Instagram post about the special evening.

“I am so incredibly proud of you,” Keith wrote. “Thanks for letting me tag along, I had a blast with you. 🤍.”
