Patrick Mahomes, the NFL quarterback, and his wife, Brittany, are a power couple that has been making headlines for years. With their recent friendship with pop star Taylor Swift, they have gained even more attention.
But who is Brittany Mahomes, and what makes her so special?
Who is Brittany Mahomes?
Born Brittany Matthews on August 31, 1995, in Whitehouse, Texas, Brittany is an athlete in her own right. She was a soccer star in college and later founded her own company, Brittany Lynne Fitness, which offers guided workout programs for clients.
In 2021, she co-founded the Kansas City Current, an expansion team in the National Women’s Soccer League, alongside her husband, Patrick. With over 1.4 million followers on Instagram, Brittany is an influencer, and her affiliate links often lead to sold-out clothes. People want to wear what Brittany and her kids wear.
In February 2024, Brittany was named a rookie for the 60th anniversary issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, saying, “I’m truly just so humbled and still in disbelief.
As a girl from Tyler, Texas, who only really knew sports, never in a million years did I think I’d be in [the SI Swimsuit Issue]. I’m just so grateful for this opportunity.”
How Did Brittany and Patrick Mahomes Meet?
Brittany and Patrick have been together since 2012, after meeting in high school. Brittany shared how she knew he was someone she wanted to be with. “He brought this little Valentine’s gift for me at lunch one day.
It was like a heart-like card and said, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day,’ and like a rose or something,” she said. “And he just brought it to me as a funny joke, but I thought it was the cutest thing in the world.
Everyone in the cafeteria started chanting like, ‘Kiss her, kiss her’ to him, and I was like, ‘I’m doing this,’ and then from then on, I think that’s where I just kind of started getting a crush on him. Then boom, we just fell in love.”
Their Engagement and Marriage
The couple announced their engagement in 2020, after Patrick proposed to her in a VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The moment came just a day after the team received their Super Bowl 54 rings and Brittany’s 25th birthday. A marquee of white blooms and lights spelled out, “Will You Marry Me.” Brittany shared a picture of the display on her Instagram Stories, adding, “This happened today.” They later shared a picture of the engagement ring, an emerald-cut diamond on a double band, with the caption, “Ring SZN.”
To celebrate their engagement, the couple shared a private candle-lit dinner, and Brittany offered a glimpse of the table to her followers. “My heart is so full,” she wrote over the photo. “Couldn’t imagine this day being any more perfect!”
The pair were married on March 12, 2022, in Hawaii in a ceremony with family and close friends.
Less than a month after the proposal, they announced they were expecting their first child. They welcomed their daughter, Sterling Skye, in February 2021. Their son, Bronze, was born in November 2022.
