Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes broke onto the NFL scene with a bang in 2017 when he was the first round draft pick for the Midwestern team. He became the starting quarterback for the Chiefs in 2018 before going on to become the league’s MVP that season. He led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl win just last February against the Philadelphia Eagles, clinching the MVP title again and celebrating the achievement of securing three Super Bowl appearances in the five years he’s been with the Missouri team.
Considering all the success he’s had so far, it’s not surprising that Patrick and his team are now on the cusp of another Super Bowl appearance — but first, they have to clinch the AFC. Also, not surprising? The fact that his fiancé (and his biggest fan), Brittany Matthews, will be there cheering him on from the sidelines.
Here’s a look at everything we know about Patrick and Brittany’s sweet love story.
Patrick and Brittany met in high school.
Yes, Patrick and Brittany are high school sweethearts! The couple grew up in Whitehouse, Texas, where they both attended Whitehouse High School. They started dating when Patrick was a sophomore and Brittany was a junior, and they’ve been together ever since.
Brittany is also an athlete.
After graduating from Whitehouse High, Brittany went on to play soccer at the nearby University of Texas campus in Tyler. Upon completing her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, she signed on to play professional soccer for UMF Afturelding/Fram in Iceland. She won a league championship there before moving to Kansas City, where Patrick was living after being picked 10th by the Chiefs in the NFL draft, sometime in late 2017.
Brittany no longer plays soccer professionally, but she uses her athleticism in a new and different way: Also a certified personal trainer, Brittany sells workout programs on her website, Brittany Lynne Fitness.
Patrick and Brittany bought a house in Kansas city.
