Kansas City Chiefs heiress Ava Hunt, 17, beams with pride as she celebrates signing with SMU cheerleading squad alongside billionaire dad Clark and beauty queen mom Tavia

Kansas City Chiefs heiress Ava Hunt posed with her billionaire father, Clark Hunt, as she celebrated signing with the Southern Methodist University cheer team.

The high school senior and social media star, 17, has long been open about how she hopes to one day cheer in the NFL for her father’s football team — and now she’s one step closer to completing that goal.

She announced via Instagram on Sunday that she had officially committed to SMU’s cheer squad this fall, something that made her parents extremely “proud.”

‘It’s official! So beyond grateful for the opportunity to keep doing what I love,’ gushed the teenager as she shared a carousel of photos from the moment she signed her contract with the school.

One showed her placing her pen on the paper to write her name as she grinned from ear to ear, while another showed her sitting next to her new trainers – with her parents standing supportively behind her.

A third saw her standing alone with her mum and dad as they all smiled at the camera.

Ava’s mother, former beauty queen Tavia Hunt, took it upon herself to reveal how proud she and her husband were of their daughter amid the feat.

“Congrats @AvaHunt on committing to cheer at SMU,” she wrote. ‘Your hard work, dedication and God-given abilities have given you this incredible opportunity.

‘We are so proud of you and grateful to God for guiding you on this journey. Your joy is contagious and we can’t wait to see you shine brightly at the next level.’

Tavia, 52, also made sure to thank Ava’s trainers for ‘pouring into’ her daughter ‘for years’.

“Your example, love and mentorship has deeply affected all of us and what you do matters,” she added.

Ava’s father, Clark, 59, is the owner, chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs, while her mother, Tavia, was previously crowned Miss Kansas USA in 1993. prominent family is worth an estimated $24.8 billion Forbes.

Ava has become an online sensation recently for flaunting her lavish lifestyle online; being related to a prominent sports figure certainly comes with its perks, and she’s not shy about showing them off.

Ava’s feeds consist of posts that show her vacationing in top locations around the world, staying at five-star resorts, flying in private jets, dining at some of the most sought-after restaurants and attending elite sporting events – where she receives VIP treatment , of course.

In the last year alone, she has visited Iceland, Cape Cod, Aspen, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Jerusalem and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

She also got a chance to hang out with pop superstar Taylor Swift thanks to her dad, posting a photo with the fierce summer songstress back in December.

She was also seen hugging the singer – who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – after the team’s Super Bowl victory in February.

Her older sister, Gracie Hunt, 25, is also a party queen and model who, like Ava, has gained a legion of followers to showcase her glamorous endeavors on Instagram.

While Ava has followed in her mother’s and older sister’s footsteps and entered the world of cheerleading — she entered the Texas Outstanding Teen competition back in 2021 — it seems her biggest passion is cheerleading.

Back in 2020, she came in first place at the cheerleading State Championships. And last year she was chosen as her school’s cheer captain.

And the teenager, who will graduate from high school in May, hopes to represent the Chiefs when she gets older.

Back in 2021, she shared a photo of herself jumping in the air at the Chiefs cheerleader auditions, which she captioned, “I didn’t actually audition for Chiefs cheer… But maybe one day!”
