by Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews: A Love Story That Started in High School
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews have one of the sweetest love stories in professional sports. Their relationship began as a high school romance and has blossomed into a marriage and growing family over the past decade. Though fame and fortune have come their way in recent years, the couple has stayed true to the strong foundation they built early on. Let’s take a closer look at their relationship timeline and how they’ve supported each other through the years.
High School Sweethearts (2013)
It all started at Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. Patrick was a sophomore football star while Brittany was a junior cheerleader. Though they ran in similar social circles, it wasn’t until Patrick’s sophomore year that their paths crossed and a romance began.
Classmates recall the quarterback and cheerleader being inseparable in the hallways. They attended their first high school dance together at homecoming in 2013. Photos from the event show the smitten couple smiling and gazing into each other’s eyes. While many high school romances fizzle out, Patrick and Brittany’s connection was strong from the very beginning.
Long Distance in College (2014-2017)
After graduating high school, Patrick received a football scholarship to attend Texas Tech University while Brittany enrolled at the University of Texas at Tyler to study kinesiology. Their budding romance faced its first big test – a long distance relationship while attending separate colleges over three hours apart.
Despite the challenges of living miles apart and juggling school and sports, Patrick and Brittany made their relationship work. They communicated daily through phone calls and video chats. On weekends when they didn’t have games, Patrick would make the drive to visit Brittany. During school breaks they spent as much time together as possible.
Friends say the distance brought them even closer and strengthened their bond and commitment to one another. While many high school sweethearts drift apart in college, Patrick and Brittany’s love prevailed through three years of long distance. Their strong foundation and communication helped carry them through this difficult period.
Breakout Star & Family Plans (2017-2020)
Patrick’s junior and senior seasons at Texas Tech brought him national attention as one of the top quarterback prospects. After a record-breaking career with the Red Raiders, he was drafted first overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017. Suddenly, Patrick found himself in the NFL spotlight at just age 22.
By this time, Patrick and Brittany had been dating for over four years. Though young, they knew their relationship was the real deal. In early 2020, Brittany supported Patrick through his Super Bowl LIV win and the celebrations that followed. It was around this time that the couple began discussing plans for their future family.
Just a few months later in February, Brittany gave birth to their daughter Sterling Skye Mahomes. Becoming parents at such a young age was a big step, but one Patrick and Brittany felt ready for as their commitment continued to deepen. Sterling’s arrival only strengthened their already tight-knit bond as a family.
The Proposal & Wedding (2020-2022)
In September 2020, Patrick proposed to Brittany on the eve of the Chiefs’ ring ceremony for their Super Bowl win. Photos showed Patrick down on one knee at the stadium they shared so many memories. Brittany happily said yes, cementing their promise to one another.
The couple wed on March 12, 2022 in a beautiful Maui ceremony. Family and friends witnessed Patrick and Brittany’s love for one another as they recited personal vows and exchanged Neil Lane rings. Photos from their special day showed Sterling proudly standing by her parents’ side, cementing their little family unit.
Soon after, Brittany officially changed her last name on social media to honor her new title as Mrs. Mahomes. Their wedding celebrations lasted several days, a testament to the deep roots and bright future of their relationship.
Second Child & Growing Family (2022)
In November 2022, Patrick and Brittany welcomed their second child, a son they named Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III. Bronze’s arrival further expanded their young family and brought new joy and responsibility.
Brittany has embraced motherhood while continuing to run her own fitness business. She supports Patrick’s career through her active social media presence cheering on the Chiefs. The couple often posts loving family photos, giving fans a glimpse into their tight-knit life together.
Both have spoken about wanting to have more children in the future. Patrick has said he wants a “basketball team” worth of kids so Sterling and Bronze can grow up with siblings. Their plans for future expansions of their family shows how committed they are to building a legacy together.
A Decade of Love
Patrick and Brittany have now been together for over 10 years, a rarity in professional sports. Their high school romance has blossomed into a strong marriage and growing family. Through the ups and downs that come with fame and success, their love and commitment to one another has endured.
From their first date at homecoming to life as husband and wife with children, Patrick and Brittany’s relationship is a true love story. Their ability to build a solid foundation early on and support each other through challenges has held them together. With new adventures and memories still to come, this power couple proves that high school sweethearts can go the distance.
