Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has been going viral for sharing a Bible verse given by the team’s chaplain before each game this season.

Hunt, 25, is the oldest of three children and was crowned Miss Kansas U.S.A. in 2021, 28 years after her mother, Tavia Shackles, won the same title.

The former pageant queen made headlines earlier this year when she and her mother defended the role of motherhood following a controversial commencement speech by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College.

“I really respect Harrison and his Christian faith and what he’s accomplished on and off the field,” Hunt said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” this past May. “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.”

Hunt boasts more than 571,000 followers on Instagram and 1 million followers on Facebook. In addition to her own platforms, she has been sharing what she calls the “verse for today’s game” for Fox News’ social media.

On Sunday night, Dec. 9, before the Chiefs faced the San Diego Chargers, Hunt shared Psalm 131:1-2.

“Lord, my heart is not proud,” she read. “My eyes are not arrogant. I do not get involved with things too great or too wondrous for me. Instead, I calmly quieted my soul like a content child. And with his mother, my soul is like a content child.”
