Gracie Hunt is regularly catching the eye on social media thanks to her connection to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the daughter of franchise owner Clark Hunt has been celebrating her sister’s birthday.

Ava Hunt turned 19 on Saturday and Gracie opted to share a slideshow of the sister’s on Instagram with a long and adoring caption.

“Today, I’m celebrating a piece of my heart! Happy birthday, @avahunt! You bring so much joy and light wherever you go, and your laughter is truly contagious. I’m so grateful we get to share this journey together. I honestly can’t imagine life without you-you’re my best friend. It’s amazing that 19 years ago, God gifted me with the best present ever-you! Here’s to many more adventures together!”

The two sisters actually share the same birthday, but Gracie is seven years older than Ava.

Tavia Hunt’s kind words

Gracie received a kind message from her mother, Tavia, to mark her 26th birthday.

“You are everything your name embodies-pure grace… Whether you’re hiking a 14er, crushing a workout (or three in a day), running your age, designing fashion, or sharing Jesus with a stranger, you lead with purpose and love,” Tavia wrote.

“You inspire me daily with your discipline, hard work, kindness, and the way you move through life with such intentionality. You don’t get caught up in the noise-you set the tone. Your heart for serving others speaks volumes about the kind of person you are-someone who lifts, encourages, and loves deeply.”

The kind words from Tavia were not just for Gracie, Ava got her own message too.

“You have always been a force of light and love, bringing joy wherever you go. You are fun, flexible (flippable!), and a friend to all,” she wrote.
