February 07, 2025
Before Patrick Mahomes became a household name in the NFL, there was one person who stood by his side through it all—his high school sweetheart. Their journey together has been nothing short of remarkable.
Patrick Mahomes is a name that dominates headlines in the NFL. As the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, his leadership and talent have helped secure major victories for the team. But while fans marvel at his moves on the field, there's someone just as significant behind the scenes—his wife, Brittany Mahomes.

Their love story is straight out of a movie. Patrick and Brittany met in high school, long before the bright lights of the NFL. Their bond grew stronger over the years, standing the test of time, fame, and success.
Patrick often credits Brittany for being his rock. "She's more competitive than I am," he once admitted. Before every game, she pumps him up with a simple yet powerful reminder, "Let's go out there and get it." And that's exactly what he does.
But Brittany isn't just cheering from the sidelines—she's all in. Her Instagram offers a clear sign of her unwavering support, packed with snapshots from Chiefs games where she proudly sports team-inspired outfits. With her appearance at the Chiefs' games, she turns heads with her bold fashion choices.

Their love story has also blossomed into a beautiful family. The couple recently welcomed their third child, Golden Raye Mahomes. Brittany shared the joyful news with a touching Instagram post, revealing their daughter's name and birthdate: "Golden Raye Mahomes • 1/12/25 🎀✨."
The black-and-white photo captured the couple's hands cradling their newborn's tiny legs—a picture that spoke volumes about their growing family's love.
Patrick couldn't hide his excitement when he spoke about fatherhood a few days later. "It's cool to welcome another baby girl into our family and see how my other kids react to her," he said during a press conference.
He also let fans in on a lighthearted moment from the hospital. "It was cool that football was on TV when I was there," he joked. "Brittany was kind enough to let us watch while she was getting ready to give birth."
As for whether baby number four is in the plans, Patrick made his stance clear, "No, I'm good with three for right now. We'll see down the line, maybe. But my goal was always three."
Balancing life as an NFL wife and a mother of three is no easy feat, but Brittany does it with grace. Whether she's cheering from the sidelines or managing daily life at home, she plays a central role in keeping the Mahomes family connected—especially when Patrick is on the road.

In a September 2024 interview with People, Patrick shared that staying in touch with Brittany and their children is a top priority. The Chiefs quarterback said he relies on FaceTime to bridge the distance, ensuring he doesn't miss out on special moments while traveling with the Kansas City Chiefs. "It makes the distance feel a little smaller when I’m on the road," he said.
Despite his demanding career, he emphasized that nothing compares to time spent with his family, whether it's during the offseason or grabbing moments together at games.
Brittany, too, treasures every bit of motherhood. She previously revealed that her children are "very attached" to her, which makes keeping an eye on them easier. "I have my eyes on them all the time at games, but it's very special to have them there, to support their dad," she shared.

Their eldest, Sterling Skye, has grown more comfortable on game days. Brittany shared that in the beginning, her daughter was shy in the stadium environment, but as she has gotten older, she's come to love watching her dad play.
She has even started recognizing Patrick on the field from a distance, following his every move with excitement. One of Sterling’' favorite moments is getting to see her father before the game—a tradition Brittany described as incredibly meaningful.
As Sterling continues to grow, her personality is beginning to shine. Brittany noted that her daughter has become more expressive, now able to communicate her feelings in ways she couldn't before.
"My daughter is getting a personality, so she is able to communicate a lot more things than she has, in the past,” she said. Watching her develop into a little girl who can articulate her emotions has, according to Brittany, been one of the sweetest parts of parenthood.
Meanwhile, their son, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, is reaching his own milestones. Brittany revealed that he has been working on his walking skills for some time. However, she added that he's getting closer every day, with his parents cheering him on every step of the way.
Brittany is no stranger to the limelight. One of the most talked-about aspects of Brittany's life in recent months has been her budding friendship with Taylor Swift.

The pop icon, who started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023, has become a regular at NFL games, often spotted cheering alongside Brittany in VIP suites. And according to those close to them, their bond is stronger than ever.

Beyond football, the two have developed an easygoing relationship built on humor and mutual support. "Brittany loves that Taylor is dating Travis, and she’s so supportive of their relationship. They have a very similar sense of humor and are always cracking jokes and laughing," the source added.

While her husband continues to dominate on the football field, Brittany is proving that she's a force in her own right. In 2024, she made her debut in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 60th-anniversary issue as a SI Rookie, marking a major milestone in her career.
Reflecting on the experience, Brittany described it as surreal. "I'm truly just so humbled and still in disbelief," she told SI Swimsuit, recalling her photoshoot in Central America. "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."

Their bond was already evident in 2013 when Patrick proudly shared a prom photo of them dressed to the nines. "Best prom date a guy could ask for!!" he captioned the post, a sweet glimpse into the early days of their romance.
Fast forward years later, and the couple has built a life together filled with love, family, and success. Patrick proposed to Brittany in September 2020 at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, turning the venue into the setting for a major milestone in their personal lives.
Looking back on their early days, Patrick once recalled their first Christmas as a couple. At the time, they had only been dating for a few months, and he remembered the nerves of joining Brittany's family for holiday celebrations.

"Just a normal teenage kid showing up at the family dinner type stuff and being nervous and everything," he shared. He likened the experience to the movie "Four Christmases," explaining that they spent the entire day traveling from house to house to see all their loved ones.
The couple officially tied the knot in March 2023, solidifying their decade-long relationship with a stunning wedding. Since then, their family has continued to grow.
Patrick and Brittany are now proud parents to three children—Sterling Skye, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, and their newest addition, Golden Raye, born on January 12, 2025.
As Patrick prepares for the 2025 Super Bowl, he confirmed that his youngest daughter, Golden who is barely a month old would be in attendance for the big game in New Orleans on February 9.
He acknowledged that welcoming another child had given him even more motivation to win. "It's always motivating whenever you have another baby," he said. "I want them to have the same experiences that the other two have."
From high school sweethearts to a power couple, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes continue to build a legacy together—something their fans can't help but admire.
Supporters often flood their photos with love, praising their strong bond. "Such a beautiful couple. I love the way they support each other in everything!!!" one fan gushed.
Another called them the "Perfect couple… ❤️," while a third simply wrote, "Beautiful couple!" Many echoed the sentiment, describing them as "Lovely" and "So sweet," with one admirer adding, "You guys are so good together."
Their journey from teenagers in Texas to one of the NFL’s most beloved couples proves that their love is not just enduring—it's inspiring.
