11 Aug
Summary
- Mahomes pursued Brittany for years in high school before dating.
- Their relationship began long before fame and fortune arrived.
- A Valentine's Day gesture in the cafeteria changed their dynamic.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes' enduring relationship started years before the NFL spotlight found them. Their story began in the halls of Whitehouse High School in Texas, where Patrick pursued Brittany, who was a grade ahead of him.
Mahomes admitted to being 'in the friend zone forever,' often walking with Brittany between classes, but she initially saw him only as a close friend. A pivotal moment arrived on Valentine's Day when Mahomes publicly presented her with a rose in the school cafeteria.
This gesture marked a turning point, shifting their friendship towards a romance. Their connection deepened through high school and college, managing a long-distance relationship while pursuing their respective athletic careers at Texas Tech and UT Tyler.
As the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Mahomes in April 2017, Brittany remained a constant as his NFL career took off. They announced their engagement on September 1, 2020, and married in Hawaii on March 12, 2022. They are now parents to three children, with Brittany noting motherhood significantly changed her priorities.
