Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews: Inside the relationship, from engagement to first baby

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews will soon have their first baby together, meaning Mahomes’ magical athletic genes will be passed on to the next generation.

The engaged couple announced in September that they’d be having their first baby, a girl, and the due date is apparently soon. ESPN’s Diana Russini reported that Mahomes told Matthews to try to “hold off” on having the baby until after Super Bowl 55.

Matthews recently posted a photo of she and Mahomes with the Kansas City quarterback cradling Matthews’ baby bump.

Mahomes and Matthews made the baby announcement less than a month after getting engaged. It was a good 2020 for Mahomes, who started the year off with a Super Bowl win and proposed to Matthews shortly after receiving his Super Bowl ring. The couple was engaged on Sept. 9, 2020.

Matthews and Mahomes have been together since high school. They even went to prom together.

After high school, it was a long-distance relationship for Mahomes and Matthews. He played football at Texas Tech while she played soccer at University of Texas-Tyler, nearly 500 miles apart.

Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017 while Matthews briefly continued her soccer career professionally in Iceland. By Oct. 2017, Matthews had moved to Kansas City to be with Mahomes. 

Matthews is now a certified fitness trainer with her own website, Brittany Lynne Fitness. The site offers training programs and fitness merchandise.

In 2019, Mahomes and Matthews brought a home together, a $1.925 million house in Kansas City. They live there with their two dogs, Steel and Silver.

Before COVID-19 regulations altered things, Matthews frequently posted photos of her attendance at Chiefs games, including pictures showcasing her gameday outfit down on the field itself. Mahomes and Matthews, of course, were together on the field in Miami last season after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

Mahomes’ biggest priority in the first week of February was solving the Buccaneers’ defense, but pretty soon it’ll be all about the baby that’s on the way. The couple already has a room ready for their daughter, including a cradle filled with stuffed animals. 

The only thing missing seemed to be a football for Mahomes’ first child.
