Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are without question one of the NFL’s biggest power couples. As a Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick has secured his status as a legendary quarterback — but Brittany is also remarkable in her own right.
Born on August 31, 1995, Brittany Mahomes (née Matthews) became a household name after her longtime beau was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017. Time and time again, Brittany has proven that she can withstand the pressure that comes with being linked to a high-profile athlete while also making space for her own dreams. “She has her head on her shoulders the right way,” Patrick told E! News in 2023. “She’s my rock. She’s the one that, through tough times, can get me through.” Brittany’s bond with her MVP only strengthened over the years; as the world watched, she went from his girlfriend to his wife and mother of his kids. What’s more, she has come a long way as an athlete and businesswoman; Patrick isn’t the only one making big career moves. Read on to see how Brittany has evolved into the all-star she is today.
Long before she married a very famous quarterback, Brittany Mahomes was an established sports star. A look back at her Instagram shows that she was involved in several athletic pastimes when she attended Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. Patrick Mahomes’ other half’s very first Instagram pic — posted on December 27, 2011 — indicates her passion for horseback riding. The young equestrian — wearing a varsity jacket, of course — lovingly poses with her equine friend. “My horsey!” the caption reads. Other pics reveal Brittany’s dedication to another sport which would later take her to the big leagues: soccer. In February 2012, she shared a photo on Instagram that shows her with her teammates in their warmup gear creating a pyramid of sorts. The caption is short and simple: “Oh soccer…” As if soccer and horseback riding weren’t already keeping her busy, Brittany was also a member of her high school’s cheer team. In one pic, she’s seen wearing a uniform with a big bow in her hair, arm around her school’s mascot. Her caption expresses her love for her fellow cheerleaders: “My girlss..:)”
