Gracie Hunt, the daughter of billionaire Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has announced her engagement to boyfriend Derek Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hunt, 27, shared the news on Instagram on Saturday evening<\/a>, along with a series of pictures from the romantic desert proposal, where friends and family watched on.<\/p>\n
