The Woman Behind The NFL’s Record-Breaking Quarterback Patrick Mahomes Is Causing A Stir
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn’t become one of the most celebrated – and exceptionally wealthy – football players of his era all on his own. No, the man stormed into the NFL elite with high school sweetheart Brittany Matthews by his side. But it's more than just the couple’s intense bond that’s causing a stir: his wife, Brittany, has been making headlines herself — and for good reason. Behind the scenes, she's played a big role in shaping his personal and professional goals.
High School Sweethearts
The dazzlingly attractive pair have been an item since they met at Whitehouse High School as teenagers. And in several adorable throwback photos on their Instagram accounts, the sportsman’s sweetheart can be seen cheering him on from the sidelines at both baseball and football games. But it’s only more recently that she’s been capturing fans’ attention — especially after she's dropped a few bombshells that have changed the quarterback's life forever.
Number One Fan
Matthews’ encouragement doesn’t go unnoticed by Mahomes. In a 2016 interview with Utterly Patriots, the young star revealed how grateful he was to still have his beau by his side. The future NFL star said, “She has been supportive of me in whatever I do – even before I played quarterback in high school. She has been my number one fan since the beginning. Her support means the world to me.”
Breaking Records
And with his loving partner by his side, Mahomes has truly shot into the stratosphere with his career. The sportsman became an NFL game-changer in more ways than one in 2020, after all. He was the driving force behind the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory at the Super Bowl LIV. Then aged 24, Mahomes also became the youngest MVP quarterback in the championship’s history thanks to his performance in the 31-20 defeat of the San Francisco 49ers.
Rookie To The Rescue
In that game, Mahomes led no fewer than three touchdown drives to help his franchise erase a deficit of 10 points in the fourth quarter. He also achieved a 78.6 passer rating, two interceptions, and three touchdowns during his 26-of-42 finish for 286 yards. Soon, this impressive effort would lead to drastic life changes that left both Mahomes and Matthews at a loss for words.
