All About Brittany Mahomes, Wife of NFL Star Patrick Mahomes
In the NFL, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are quite the power couple. While they’ve always attracted attention as a pair, in 2023, Brittany got a new wave of followers for her quickly developing friendship with pop star Taylor Swift. Swift is romantically linked to Patrick’s teammate, Travis Kelce, and she and Brittany have been buddying up in the VIP box during Kansas City Chief games this fall.
For people just catching up with the Mahomes, here’s everything to know about Patrick's wife, Brittany.
Who is Brittany Mahomes?Born Brittany Matthews in Aug. 31, 1995, in Whitehouse, Texas, Brittany is an athlete in her own right. In college, she was a soccer star, and she then grew her own company, Brittany Lynne Fitness, which runs programs for clients with guided workouts. She went on to found the Kansas City Current as an expansion team in the National Women’s Soccer League in 2021, co-owning it with her husband.
She currently has over 1.4 million followers on Instagram, so she is something of an influencer, too, with affiliate links in her profile that often lead to sold-out clothes. People want to wear what Brittany and her kids do.
In February 2024, she was named a 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue rookie and was featured in the 60th anniversary issue, which hit shelves in May.
“I’m truly just so humbled and still in disbelief,” Brittany told SI Swimsuit. “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.”
The couple have been together since 2012, after meeting in high school. Brittany has 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.”
They 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 as well as the day after Brittany’s 25th birthday.
Once again, flowers were a big part of their special moment. A marquee of white blooms and lights spelled out, “Will You Marry Me.”
Brittany shared a pic of the display in her Stories at the time, adding, “This happened today.”
Later, they 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 candlelit dinner, but she offered a glimpse of the table to her followers.
“My heart is so full,” Brittany wrote over the photo. “Couldn’t imagine this day being any more perfect!”
The pair was married on March 12, 2022, in Hawaii. Their ceremony was 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.
And their second daughter, Golden Raye, arrived on Jan. 12, 2025.
Swift reportedly gave Brittany a “handmade baby blanket” gift for Golden Raye’s birth.
“Taylor is so looking forward to meeting Brittany and Patrick’s baby girl and she couldn’t be more thrilled for her friends,” an insider told Page Six. “Taylor’s aunt knitted her a baby blanket when she was a child so it’s always had a special meaning for her and something she wanted to do for her friends.”
The singer “did the same thing” for Kansas City Chiefs WAG Chariah Gordon and Mecole Hardman Jr. after they welcomed a baby in 2024.
“It’s become a tradition for Taylor, something she loves doing and something that can’t be bought. It comes from the heart,” the insider explained.
When did Brittany announce her third pregnancy with Golden?Brittany and Patrick shared news they were expanding their family on July 12. They shared an Instagram video featuring them and their children revealing news of her third pregnancy. “Round three, here we come 🤍,” they wrote.
On July 19, Brittany shared a Reel on Instagram showing scenes from the new baby’s gender reveal, which included help from their oldest daughter Sterling.
The couple used a large tic tac toe set and let Sterling turn the tiles to see if she’ll be meeting a “little sis” or “little bro.”
Eventually, she got three pink Xs in a row. Pink smoke and confetti rose into the air.
On Christmas 2024, Netflix posted a clip on X, formerly known as Twitter, where Patrick revealed that Brittany was due “any day now.”
“Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season,” Patrick admitted. “So I got to try to not put so much stress on her through these football games.”
He added that he is hoping that the baby arrives “on a bye week” when he’s not playing, “and then everything will work out perfectly.”
In another clip shared by Sports Center on Christmas day, he told reporters, “I told my pregnant wife I was gonna get her the number one seed so we can go have that baby. So we got that number one seed.”
Brittany welcomed Golden on January 12, during Patrick’s bye week.

“Taylor and Brittany will hang out in the future,” the source continued. “There has been talk that after the season is done that Brittany and Patrick will see one of her shows overseas. Although their friendship is mostly at the stadium, slowly but surely they are going to be doing double dates and hanging out with each other more and more.”

They have a very similar sense of humor and are always cracking jokes and laughing.”

Swift has attended dozens of Chief games, and some fans of the NFL have an issue with attention that the superstar gets while in the stands. But Brittany is not one of them. The influencer reposted a comment from TNT personality Charles Barkley, who said to Gayle King this weekend, “I’m gonna look right in that camera, if you’re screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football,] you’re just a loser.”
He added, “You’re just a loser or a jackass.”
