Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are one of the most high-profile power couples in sports today. As Patrick has risen to become one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks with the Kansas City Chiefs, Brittany has pursued her own ambitions in business and soccer. Through it all, their relationship has been defined by unwavering support, respect, and encouragement of each other’s goals.

Their story of partnership began while they were both students at Whitehouse High School in Texas. Patrick and Brittany first met during their freshman year and began dating soon after. Even in those early high school days, it was clear they shared a strong bond and brought out the best in each other.

“We just clicked,” Brittany recalled in a 2021 interview. “He was so nice and so caring. I could tell right away he had a bright future ahead of him.” For Patrick’s part, he appreciated Brittany’s kindness, intelligence and zest for life. “She made high school fun and gave me confidence in myself,” he said.

Their high school sweetheart romance blossomed as they witnessed each other pursue their dreams from the very beginning. Patrick started to gain recognition as a star quarterback, while Brittany excelled on the soccer field and in the classroom. Through it all, they provided each other with encouragement, support and perspective.

This foundation of understanding each other’s goals and ambitions from a young age would serve as a bedrock for their relationship for years to come. Fast forward to the present, and it’s clear Patrick and Brittany have taken that high school partnership to new heights.

Brittany’s Soccer Career and Co-Ownership of the Kansas City Current

After graduating from Texas Tech University, Brittany embarked on her own professional soccer career. From 2014 to 2017, she played for teams in Norway, Sweden and Iceland – gaining invaluable experience abroad. Patrick was right there cheering her on every step of the way.

“I was so proud of her for chasing her dreams,” Patrick said. “I knew how hard she worked and how much soccer meant to her. It was amazing to watch her compete at the highest level.” Even while pursuing his NFL career in Kansas City, Patrick made sure to attend Brittany’s games overseas whenever possible.

In 2021, Brittany’s soccer journey took another exciting turn. She became a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, the city’s new National Women’s Soccer League expansion team. Patrick joined her in the ownership group – a powerful demonstration of how he believes in and supports Brittany’s business ambitions.

“Brittany has been such an inspiration to me through her athletic accomplishments and entrepreneurial spirit,” Patrick said at the time. “I knew this was an incredible opportunity for her and wanted to be all in as her partner.”

For Brittany, having Patrick by her side as a co-owner of the Current made the venture even more rewarding. “Patrick encourages me to chase my dreams every single day,” she said. “His belief in me and this team means the world.”

In just its first season in 2022, the Current found success on and off the field under Brittany’s leadership. They made the NWSL playoffs and saw increased attendance – proof that her vision is resonating in Kansas City. Patrick remains one of Brittany’s biggest cheerleaders as her soccer ownership career continues to grow.

Patrick’s NFL Success and Brittany’s Enthusiastic Support

Of course, Brittany is quick to return the favor of fandom to Patrick. Since he was drafted first overall by the Chiefs in 2017, she has been one of his most dedicated supporters. Brittany makes it a priority to attend Patrick’s NFL games whenever her own schedule allows.

Frequently seen on the sidelines or in a luxury box, Brittany is always one of the most animated Chiefs fans. She’s constantly cheering, celebrating big plays and comforting Patrick if things don’t go his way. Her enthusiasm energizes Patrick and the entire stadium.

“Having Brittany there to cheer me on makes such a difference,” Patrick said. “Her support means everything and gives me so much confidence.” After games, Brittany is also one of Patrick’s most trusted sounding boards. She offers an honest perspective on his performance to help him improve.

The ultimate validation of Brittany’s fandom came as Patrick led the Chiefs to consecutive Super Bowl appearances in 2019 and 2020. In Super Bowl LIV, he was named MVP after engineering a comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Brittany was rightfully ecstatic – a perfect encapsulation of the joy they feel in each other’s triumphs.

Since that Super Bowl win, Patrick has only elevated his play to new heights. He signed a record-breaking $450 million contract in 2022 while continuing to post video game-like stats. Through it all, Brittany remains the number one fan in his corner – a source of love, support and motivation as his career reaches new peaks.

Balancing Family Life Amid Busy Schedules

Despite their busy professional lives, Patrick and Brittany make family their clear priority. In 2021, they welcomed twins Sterling and Stephen, joining their daughter Drew as the newest members of the Mahomes family clan.

Juggling parenting with NFL seasons and Brittany’s soccer endeavors is no easy task. But they approach it with teamwork, communication and flexibility. During football seasons, Brittany travels on the road with Patrick so the kids can be with both parents.

In the offseason, Patrick returns the favor by taking a hands-on dad role. He’s just as involved changing diapers and playing with the kids to give Brittany breaks to focus on her soccer duties. Extended family also pitches in to help.

“Family always comes first for us,” Brittany said. “We support each other in our careers, but our kids are the most important thing. Patrick is the best dad and we make it work together.” Their willingness to share parenting duties allows them to feel fulfilled both at home and in their ambitions.
