Gracie Hunt: Having a Mom at Home Was ‘Really Formative’
In a May 17 appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Clark and Tavia Hunt’s oldest child, Gracie Hunt, was asked to address the Harrison Butker controversy. The 25-year-old internet personality and former pageant contestant expressed support for the Chiefs kicker and for her own upbringing. “I really respect Harrison and his Christian faith and what he’s accomplished on and off the field,” she said of Butker. “I can only speak from my own experience, which is I’ve had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up.”
Gracie Hunt, who is involved with her family’s business and hopes to be the NFL’s first female commissioner someday, acknowledged that stay-at-home parenting isn’t possible for everyone. “I understand that there are many women out there who can’t make that decision,” she said. “But for me and my life, I know it was really formative and in shaping me and my siblings into who we are.”
