Talk about a wild turn of events! Ava Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City CEO Clark Hunt, had a rough day but is finding comfort in her favorite Olympian. After a hiking accident that landed her in emergency surgery, Ava gave her followers a peek into her recovery with a cheerful update. The 18-year-old took to her IG story to share a snap of Simone Biles on TV, saying, “Update: surgery went very smoothly, and I’m back at home watching my favorite @simonebiles !! I’m feeling great (but I might still be a little drugged up). Thank you for all of your sweet messages and prayers!!”

Ava fell down the mountain while hiking yesterday, leaving her with a serious cut that needed urgent care. Her mom, Tavia Hunt, called it “a long day,” but was stoked to see her flashing a smile after the surgery. “Praise God she’s in recovery,” the mama added, urging everyone to keep Ava in their prayers.

Despite the scare, Ava’s spirits are high. She’s back home, catching up on her favorite gymnast’s performances from Paris while riding out the effects of her pain meds. As she prepares to start at Southern Methodist University this fall—where she’s joining the cheerleading squad—Ava’s future looks bright.

From a rocky hike to a major life milestone, Ava Hunt is handling it all with grace and a touch of humor, right after celebrating her high school graduation with Chiefs superstars.

Ava Hunt’s epic graduation, from high school to the White House with Chiefs legends

The Chiefs’ heiress went from snagging her high school diploma to partying at the White House with the Super Bowl champs within a couple of days. Back in June, Ava was all smiles as she rubbed elbows with tight end Travis Kelce, who was looking sharp in a beige suit, and MVP Patrick Mahomes, dapping it up in a blue pinstripe number.

Rocking a $695 designer mini dress adorned with red roses, Ava turned heads as she strutted into the People’s House. Her ensemble was completed with white heels and a red Chanel bag, probably packed with some Chiefs gear. Talk about representing!

The White House visit was a full-on family affair. Ava’s mom Tavia, sister Gracie, and dad Clark—Chiefs CEO and franchise bigwig—joined the tour. President Biden praised the team’s back-to-back Super Bowl wins over the 49ers, and Clark took the podium to deliver a proud victory speech.

After crushing high school and now ruling D.C., Ava’s next stop is Southern Methodist University. If her high school years are any indication, Ava’s college experience is set to be just as stellar!
