Meet Clark Hunt’s Wife, Tavia Shackles

Tavia Shackles Hunt was born and raised in Lee Summit, Missouri, and that she began competing in beauty pageants when she was very young. As a teen in 1990, she was named Miss Lee’s Summit and Miss Missouri Teen USA, according to Her Life magazine.

Hunt then tried out to be Miss USA and won Miss Kansas in 1993. The same year, 1993, she was second runner-up in the Miss USA competition. The winner was Kenya Moore, who later became known as a “Real Housewives” star.

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. But we say football is family because we really believe we were made for relationships.”

A Look Inside Shackles And Hunt’s Relationship

Shackles got married to the chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, on October 23, 1993. That made her the daughter-in-law of Lamar Hunt, who started the Chiefs, the AFL, and the MLS.

Tavia Shackles was 19 years old and had just finished her sophomore year. She was working as an intern for the Chiefs. Then she met her future husband, Clark Hunt, for the first time. When she thought back to when they first met, the former Miss Kansas said, “We met at the Chiefs’ luncheon to start the season. It’s funny because my mother-in-law, Norma Hunt, met Lamar at a luncheon when she was working as a volunteer teacher for the team. They had been together for 42 years.” When she married Clark, she was 22 years old. Shackles had just finished his last year at UMKC.
