Kansas City Chiefs heiress Ava Hunt is settling into her lavish dorm room at Southern Methodist University. The college freshman’s mom, Tavia Hunt , shared photos of her and her roommate’s stunning new digs on the Dallas, Texas, campus as she said goodbye to her youngest child in an emotional post via Instagram on Thursday, August 22. “Today, I left a piece of my heart at SMU.

Ava Hunt, you’ve always been a mix of sunshine and hurricane – fierce, fearless and capable of incredible things. I’m overflowing with excitement for you, even as I tuck away my tears for later,” she captioned the post, which featured a carousel of photos of Ava’s pink and white dorm. She continued, “I’m wading through emotions as I pass by your now too-clean room, the house is too quiet without your laughter, and Chief and I are already missing the familiar scent of your Sol de Janeiro body spray.

I know you’ll return often, and that this marks a new adventure and freedom ...

Watching you shine your light and grow into the most beautiful version of yourself makes my heart beat a little happier. You’ve worked so hard to get here.” In one of the photos, Ava can be seen posing in front of her bed, which featured a pink-and-white floral comforter and matching ottoman step stool, white bed skirt, neon pink sign with her name above it and a pillow with her initials.

The shot also showed off Ava’s desk and dresser area, which featured a vanity mirror with lights, pink desk chair, p.
