Brittany Mahomes’ name has been surfacing frequently in recent months, as she hangs out with new friend Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs' games. But who is Brittany Mahomes?
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and Brittany Mahomes’ husband Patrick Mahomes both play for the Kansas City Chiefs, so while Taylor’s been supporting her new man at his games she’s not only been bringing her A-lister squad but also making pals with the partners of the other team members, including new bestie Brittany.
Just recently Taylor proved her and Brittany are fast becoming good friends, as they celebrated during the Kansas City Chiefs game with a special handshake, Parent Trap-style.
Brittany even joined Taylor and her girl gang for dinner as Tay’s relationship with Travis Kelce hit the spotlight, joining Sophie Turner and Blake Lively for a girls’ night out.
But who is Brittany, who is her husband Patrick, do they have kids, and how did she become friends with Taylor? Here’s the lowdown on Taylor’s new pal below.
Brittany herself is a sports star, signing to play for Iceland’s professional team just a month after Patrick landed his own deal, with the Chiefs. She played for just one season in 2017, securing her first championship trophy.
She decided to come back to the US and retire from soccer, starting a personal training business instead. She also co-owns the National Women’s Soccer League team, the Kansas City Current, alongside two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long.
Brittany, 28, and Taylor, 34, are definitely friends, after meeting through their respective partners Patrick and Travis, who both play for the Kansas City Chiefs. Almost every Sunday, the women are spotted in the VIP section cheering on their beaus.
At the game on 22nd October, a clip of the women went viral as they danced together and celebrated with a special handshake in the VIP box.
Brittany’s husband Patrick, 28, plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and is good friends with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis. Brittany and Patrick met in middle school where they bonded over their love of sports; he played American football and baseball while she was a cheerleader and football player.
The couple got married in Hawaii in 2022, after over a decade together.
Brittany and Patrick have two kids together, a daughter and a son, who make frequent appearances on their Instagram, joining their dad at his football games and cheering from the sidelines with their mum.
In 2021 they welcomed their daughter Sterling Skye and earlier in 2023 they had a son named Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III.
Reports suggest Brittany has a net worth of $30 million (£25 million). She’s built her own successful business, as well as spending years as a football player herself.
