Everything We Know About Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' Relationship
When you think of a football family, there are probably a few that come to mind, and if you didn’t say the Mahomes, you’re lying to yourself. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are one of the sweetest love stories from a football family we’ve ever encountered. Not only are they each other’s biggest fans and supporters, but they’ve been that for each other for 12 years now.
The high school sweethearts have been through everything together and trust us when we say everything. They went through the awkward high school years together, long distance, major football events, kids, diapers — you name it.
In a time where A-listers seem to be swapping out partners left and right (no shame with a fling if everyone’s happy and consenting), it’s so wholesome and rare to see a couple so young and already have so many years together under their belt.
The happy parents of two have an incredible love story that not a lot of people know about. Despite being one of the biggest football couples right now, they keep their romantic details more on the private side — most of the time. Luckily, they’ve given fans details here and there throughout the years, and we got them all here!
On honor of Brittany Mahomes’ birthday today on Aug 31, 2024, check out everything we know about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ adorable relationship below!

They Met in High School
The pair first met when they were in high school in Whitehouse, Texas. They bonded while Patrick was playing football and baseball, and when Brittany was a cheerleader and soccer player. They started dating his sophomore year and her junior year of high school, and it was a match made in heaven!
Patrick Made the First Move
In a video with Balance Athletica, Brittany revealed that the couple’s romance began with Patrick’s sweet Valentine’s Day gesture after a year of friendship.
“He brought this little Valentine’s gift for me at lunch one day. It was like a heart-like card and said, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day,’ and like a rose or something. And he just like brought it to me as a funny joke, but like I thought it was the cutest thing in the world,” she gushed.
This ‘Awkward’ Moment Changed It All
In Netflix docuseries, Quarterbacks, Brittany revealed what happened after Patrick gave her the rose. “He thought it was a joke. I thought it was the cutest thing in the world. And then everyone at our lunch table started chanting, ‘Kiss him, kiss him,’ and made it really awkward cause we were ‘just friends’ so that’s kind of what started it and then I thought it was cute,” she said. “… When they were chanting, I thought it was kind of awkward and it was funny. I was like, ‘Okay this guy is actually kind of cute. Maybe I do like him.’ So then we just started talking and then started dating.’”
They Went to Prom Together
Along with being every high-school dream romance, the two went to prom together in 2013! In a nearly decade-old post from Patrick’s Instagram, he posted a series of photos from the big night with the caption, “Best prom date a guy could ask for!! #prom2013 #bestfriend #greatnight.”
They Went Long Distance in College
So when they were in their college years, Brittany went to the University of Texas at Tyler, while Patrick studied at Texas Tech. Despite the nearly seven hours between them, they stayed stronger than ever!
Brittany previously talked to Today about when they went long-distance for college. “He ended up going to Texas Tech, and that’s when it really hit me, ‘Oh sh-t, he might go play professional football,” she said. “It was surreal to see him living his dream, and seeing him grow as an athlete and as a man, in general, was just amazing.”
They Remained Long-Distance After the First Year of College
After they graduated college, Patrick was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017, and in that same year, Brittany went to play soccer with the UMF Afturelding/Fram team in Iceland.
Brittany Moved Back to the US to Be With Patrick
Brittany’s soccer career was really taking off in Iceland, especially after her team won the championship in her first season. However, Brittany decided she would rather be closer to home and flew back to the U.S. so that she could be with Patrick. She later set up her own business called Brittany Lynne Fitness and is a co-owner of the Kansas City Current.
They Got Engaged in 2020
After eight years together, Patrick popped the question to Brittany on Sept 2 in Arrowhead Stadium where Patrick was picking up his Super Bowl ring. In a private room in the stadium, Patrick popped the question in front of a floral wall with a neon light that read “Will You Marry Me?”
Brittany gushed about the moment in an Instagram story, according to People.
“On a day that was meant to celebrate you, you turned it into celebrating us,” she began the caption to her post. “It’s always us, it’s always you and me. The words you looked into my eyes and said to me at this moment, will NEVER leave my mind! You made this day perfect, you took my entire breath away and I could not have imagined anything better.”
He Confessed How He Felt About Proposing to Her
Soon after, Patrick told KCSP 610 Radio that he was more nervous about proposing to Brittany than he was about playing in the Super Bowl, saying, “You don’t think it’s going to be nerve-wracking, especially when you’ve been with someone for so long, but before you get on that knee, your heart’s racing, I promise you that.”
Their Daughter Sterling Was Born in 2021
Brittany announced she was pregnant with the couple’s first baby in September 2020 with an Instagram photo showing Patrick cradling her baby bump and a caption that read: “Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding.”
On February 20, 2021, Sterling Skye was born. Brittany celebrated her little gift on her first Mother’s Day that May and addressed her Instagram caption to her newborn.
“Dear Sterling, thank you for making me a mommy and being the biggest blessing EVER, Mommy & Daddy love you more than you will ever understand,” Brittany wrote.
