Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, demanded an apology from the commentators and critics who doubted the Chief’s capabilities this past season. The Chiefs beat the Philadephia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII to secure their second championship since the 2019 season.

It was a game they weren’t picked to win by most analysts. Although they were down by 10 at halftime, the reigning MVP stepped up to help Kansas City win the game, 38-35. In a tweet, Brittany Mahomes wrote, “I think a lot of people need to apologize for what they said about this team at the beginning of this season.”

The noise crept in at the beginning of the season as division rivals like the Denver Broncos, and Las Vegas Raiders added impact players to their offenses. The Chiefs traded away one big receiver, Tyreek Hill, to the Miami Dolphins. The Broncos acquired quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks, and the Raiders traded for wide receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers.

But the notion of high-powered offenses was thrown to the wayside. The Broncos sputtered out of the gate. Adams and the Raiders failed to maintain success throughout the season, and the Los Angeles Chargers couldn’t find the same consistency as the Chiefs. Kansas City would win the AFC West, attain the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, and would ultimately win the Super Bowl.

I think a lot of people need to apologize for what they said about this team at the beginning of this season ??

The couple, who got engaged in September 2020, started as two friends in Texas who went to school together. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback became close with Matthews in 2011 when he was just a freshman at Whitehouse High School. After giving her a rose and a Valentine’s Day card the following year, the pair’s friendship morphed into something more. Throughout high school, the athletes rooted each other; Mahomes played football and baseball while Matthews was a soccer star, and they were each other’s go-to dates for dances in the gym.

The teenage sweethearts went to different colleges, but both stayed in Texas, which helped keep their relationship alive. Top of FormThe couple has been by each other’s sides through all the highs and lows of their adult years, including Mahomes winning Super Bowl LIV in 2020 and losing Super Bowl LV in 2021. Between his Super Bowl appearances, the quarterback proposed to his longtime love on the day he received his championship ring at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2020.

The same month, the pair announced they were expecting their first baby together, a little girl. They welcomed their daughter Sterling in February 2021. The couple tied the knot in Hawaii in March 2022, where Sterling served as their flower girl.

Two months later, Matthews and Mahomes announced that they are expecting Baby No. 2. “Round 2!” the pair wrote via a joint Instagram post, posing in multiple photos with Sterling proudly displaying her “big sister” status on her shirt. Patrick and Brittany welcomed their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, on Nov. 28, 2022. Patrick has mentioned how he loves being a father in several interviews.
