Clark Hunt married Tavia Shackles in October 1993. Tavia has a degree in political science from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Tavia got married to Clark when she was 22 years old. They tied the knot after Shackles graduated from her University.

Her first meeting with Clark happened at the Chief's kickoff luncheon when she was working as a PR intern on the Kansas team when she was 19.

After six weeks of dating, Clark sweetly proposed to her: Clark gave a 1940-themed postcard to her that contained a convertible. It was his grandma's, and he said he had found a partner with whom he could drive his entire life.

The couple married in Kansas City. As of 2023, they live in Dallas, Texas, with their three kids.

She also enrolled at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she graduated with a degree in political science.

Before that, Shackles studied at Lee's Summit High School. During her school days, she became Miss Lee's Summit too.

Later, Tavia competed in the Miss Kansas beauty pageant, bagging it, and then went on to a bigger stage, Miss USA, where she finished as a 2nd runner-up.
