It was written in the stars. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have become one of the most prominent power couples in sports. Although they have been happily married since 2022, there was a period when the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback worried that he might never find the courage to share his feelings.

In 2012, Mahomes was a sophomore at Whitehouse High School in Texas. Brittany, a year older than Patrick, attended the same institution. Mahomes had already made several attempts to approach Brittany on the campus, but none of them bore any fruit. He was on the brink of giving up. Mahomes said on the newly-released ESPN documentary, The Kingdom:

It took a long time. There were a couple times when I tried to get out of the friend zone, and it didn’t work.

Eventually, his chance came. His mother, Randi, gave him a card on Valentine’s Day. Patrick decided to give the card to Brittany. She remembered a skinny boy walking up to her with a card and a rose in his hands. She found the gesture cute, and that’s how their love slowly blossomed.

The pair were in a long-distance relationship in college as Mahomes attended Texas Tech while Brittany enrolled at the University of Texas at Tyler. They moved in together after Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Sterling, in 2021. A year later, Patrick and Brittany took their nuptial vows.

Bronze, son, was born a few months after their marriage. In January 2025, Brittany gave birth to her third child, Golden Rye. Mahomes revealed that Brittany timed Golden’s birth to perfection. He added, on The Kingdom:

Brittany crushed it. I was watching playoff games the entire day. She went into labor after one game, the baby was here before the next game, so I didn’t even miss a playoff game.

Mahomes led the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 against the Philadelphia Eagles. It ended in a 40-22 defeat for the AFC team. They missed the chance to record a historic first three-peat in the NFL. He ended the campaign with 392 completions for 3928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

He traveled to the West Coast to face the Seattle Seahawks in their second preseason game, but sat on the sidelines the entire night. The combined partnership of Gardner Minshew, Chris Oladokun, and Bailey Zappe completed 14 passes for 100+ yards and one passing touchdown to tight end Robert Tonyan. Skyy Moore created a highlight reel with an 88-yard punt return touchdown.

However, the Seahawks replied with multiple touchdown passes from Drew Lock to Jake Bobo. Seattle rushers Zach Charbonnet and Damien Martinez scored one each on the ground to lead the Seahawks to a comfortable 16-33 victory.

The Chiefs return to Kansas City and begin preparations to host the Chicago Bears in the preseason finale at Arrowhead Stadium.
