SUMMARY
- Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been announced as a rookie featured in Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue.
- Fans have criticized Brittany Mahomes for her inclusion in the magazine, questioning her qualifications for modeling.
Patrick Mahomes has astounded all NFL fans with his remarkable performance on the pitch for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been recognized as one of the Chiefs’ finest players, earning the highest marks with an outstanding 90.1. He is presently the reigning MVP for 2023. His team-leading PFF grades have energized his fans.
Despite achieving his ambition of becoming an NFL superstar, Patrick has remained grounded. He’s currently married to Brittany Mahomes. They’ve been together for over a decade now. They first met in high school. They both attended the same school, Whitehouse High School. As Patrick prepares to play in his fourth Super Bowl in five years, his wife has announced some significant career news of her own.
Sports Illustrated recently revealed that Brittany would be featured as a rookie in its annual Swimsuit Issue. Brittany has just gone to San Pedro Ambergris Caye, Belize, for a photoshoot posing in a red bikini. Fans called out Brittany for being featured in the magazine just because of her husband. “The first time I’ve been mad about nepotism,” wrote a fan.
Fans seemed to be disappointed seeing Brittany on the cover as she is not associated with modeling. Mahomes’ presence in the iconic swimsuit issue will undoubtedly be controversial. Many football fans have questioned her for her fierce backing of her husband’s career.
Brittany Mahomes talks about being featured on the cover
Embracing all the hate and support, Brittany talked about being on the cover and how this was truly shocking for her. “I’m truly just so humbled and still in disbelief,” stated Mahomes to the magazine. She further added, “As a girl from Tyler, Texas, who only really knew sports, never in a million years did I think I’d be in [the SI Swimsuit Issue]. I’m just so grateful for this opportunity.”
She also talked about being the way she is irrespective of the hate. “Be confident in who you are and be unapologetically yourself,” stated Brittany. It seems Mrs Mahomes is not regretting anything she has done in the past and is simply defending her acts.
She further added, “People are going to love you or hate you, but finding your values and what makes you the best version of yourself is what really matters. Whether that’s health and wellness, being a great wife or mom, or career goals, being the best version of you is the most important thing you can be.”
Some will undoubtedly claim that Mahomes is only appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in recognition of her renowned spouse. Many also claim that she has taken a spot away from a far more eligible model. Others will certainly argue that her relationship with her husband shouldn’t stop her from recognizing her appealing features and professional accomplishments.
Apart from all the controversies, Brittany lives peacefully with her husband. Patrick expressed his love by proposing to Brittany following his first Super Bowl victory. Brittany left football before the birth of their children to launch her fitness line, ‘Brittany Lynne Fitness.’ She also co-owns the football club Kansas City Current. The pair married in 2022 as well.
