Patrick and Brittany Mahomes: From East Texas Roots to NFL Stardom

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews, now known as Brittany Mahomes, have a love story that began in the small town of Whitehouse, Texas. Both attended Whitehouse High School, where their paths first crossed. Patrick, born on September 17, 1995, showcased his athletic prowess early on, while Brittany, born on August 31, 1995, excelled as a soccer player. Their shared passion for sports and mutual support laid the foundation for their enduring relationship.

After high school, their journeys took them to different colleges. Patrick attended Texas Tech University, where he made a name for himself as a standout quarterback. Brittany pursued her soccer career at the University of Texas at Tyler, becoming an all-time leading scorer for the Patriots. Despite the distance, their bond remained strong, with both supporting each other’s athletic endeavors.

In 2017, Patrick’s exceptional talent led him to be drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, marking the beginning of a remarkable NFL career. Brittany, after a brief professional soccer stint in Iceland with UMF Afturelding/Fram, transitioned into a fitness entrepreneur and later became a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, a National Women’s Soccer League team. Their professional successes were paralleled by personal milestones; the couple got engaged in 2020 and tied the knot on March 12, 2022, in a picturesque ceremony in Hawaii. They have since welcomed three children: Sterling Skye, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, and Golden Raye.

Despite their rise to fame, Patrick and Brittany have remained deeply connected to their East Texas roots. They have actively given back to their hometown community, notably through the “15 and the Mahomies Foundation,” which has partnered with organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to support local youth. Their journey from high school sweethearts in Whitehouse to becoming one of the NFL’s most influential couples is a testament to their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to each other and their community.
