She told KSHB, “My whole family lives here in Kansas City. I was born and raised in Kansas City, and Kansas City is my home. I was Miss Missouri Teen USA and traveled all over the state of Missouri. Then I was Miss Kansas USA and I think I went to every small town in Kansas during that year. So I feel I have a special connection to the Chiefs Kingdom. Kansas City is such a special place, and it really has my heart.”

In her Instagram bio, Shackes said, “Wife, Christ-follower, sports and fashion fan, community volunteer. Pageant Mom.” In an interview with KSHB in September 2022, she said, “I would say that’s really the core of our family. There is God, family, and football.
