This is Brittany Mahomes: Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes’ wife and their family
Brittany has been a regular fixture at the Kansas City Chiefs’ NFL games, and is fond of both Taylor Swift and Donald Trump.
Patrick Mahomes was no stranger to professional sports growing up around professional baseball, holding off going directly into the pros to get an education first. Drafted in 2017 by the Kansas City Chiefs, he became an instant star in 2018, leading the team to the Super Bowl the following year. He was back there early in 2021, losing out to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the legendary Tom Brady. But he claimed his second ring at the start of 2023, and completed his NFL championship hat-trick with the Chiefs 12 months later.
Touted as a future Pro Football Hall of Famer, we look back at where it all begin for the man chasing more glory in Kansas...
Who are Patrick Mahomes’ parents?
Patrick Mahomes was born to Pat Mahomes Sr and Randi Martin in 1995. His parents divorced when he was six but the separation was on friendly terms. Both regularly attend games together to watch their son play.
Pat Mahomes Sr was a successful professional baseball player pitching in the MLB, joining the league straight out of high school. Patrick grew up around baseball greats that taught him how to be a great athlete. Pat Sr had wanted his son to go into baseball, he had the talent, but Patrick chose football instead.
Randi Martin is a homemaker who made sure that Patrick focused on his education in addition to his athletics. She, like her ex-husband, never attended college, so she guided him towards going to college instead of straight into pro sports when the opportunity presented itself.
Who are Patrick Mahomes’ siblings?
Patrick has three siblings, two half-sisters and a brother. His younger brother Jackson didn’t go into sports but instead is a TikTok star. They have two half-sisters, one by each their mother and father, who remarried.
Who is Patrick Mahomes’ wife?
NFL star Mahomes proposed to Brittany Matthews, his high-school sweetheart in a suite in Arrowhead Stadium, the day Mahomes received his Super Bowl Championship ring in 2020. The couple had their first child, a daughter they named Sterling Skye, in February 2021.
The couple married on March 12, 2022, and on May 29 announced that they were expecting their second child, a boy, who was born on November 28.
29-year-old Brittany briefly played professional soccer for UMF Afturelding in Iceland in 2017 and is a founding co-owner of the Kansas City Current, who play in the National Women’s Soccer League (the top female division inn the United States). She has also started her own fitness company, Brittany Lynne Fitness.
Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift and Donald Trump
Mahomes recently found herself at the centre of an online storm, particularly among those on the political left, after liking a social media post by former President Donald Trump, who later publicly thanked her for doing so.
And Brittany didn’t hold back as she responded to ‘haters,’ posting on Instagram: “Honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Mahomes has been a regular in the stands watching her husband play for the Chiefs and has struck up a close, high-profile friendship with Taylor Swift since she started dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. The pop superstar is famously not one of Trump’s biggest fans, so we can only assume politics isn’t one of their main topics of discussion.
