Gracie Hunt knows how to make a splash!
The bride-to-be celebrated her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Derek Green with a mermaid-inspired weekend bachelorette getaway with her closest friends and family.
While her Instagram posts looked like scenes straight out of Mamma Mia!, Hunt — the 27-year-old daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and his wife, Tavia — shared an exclusive photo diary with PEOPLE, offering a closer look at her dreamy days and all the special details from the “memorable” getaway.
Sequins and sparkle, glamorous gowns and custom couture, fun in the sun and plenty of coastal cowgirl energy! Days were spent splashing in the turquoise waters, while nights brought out the mermaid magic as the Mexican sun dipped below the horizon and the celebrations continued well into the evening.
The only thing missing in true bachelorette fashion? Her fiancé Green, who romantically asked for Hunt’s hand in marriage on April 3 after meeting nearly a decade ago at a place special to them both: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, home to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Around eight years after they met in 2017, they turned their friendship into a romance. In May 2025, Hunt hard-launched her romance with Green — the son of former Super Bowl champion quarterback Trent Green, who spent six seasons with Kansas City — on Instagram, sharing a series of sweet photos.
Following their engagement, Hunt told PEOPLE about the hidden details of her “meaningful” ring that was crafted by Green. She revealed that there’s significance to the gemstones he chose for the elongated cushion-cut diamond engagement ring and the master jeweler he worked alongside to create the special sparkler.
