Foreverlasting love! Patrick MahomesAnd Brittany Matthews’ romance gives Use all the feels — starting with their high school sweetheart beginnings.
The couple got engaged in September 2020. They were two Texas friends who had been going to school together. Matthews, a Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, became close to Matthews in 2011, when he was just a freshman student 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 their time in high school, the athletes rooted each other — Mahomes played both football and baseball while Matthews was a soccer star — and were each other’s go-to dates for dances in the gym.
Both of their teenage sweethearts attended different colleges, but they stayed together in Texas, which helped to keep their relationship alive.
“He ended up going to Texas Tech, and that’s when it really hit me, ‘Oh s—t, he might go play professional football,” the Brittany Lynne Fitness creator told Today in December 2020 of her fiancé’s football skills. “It was surreal to see him living his dream and seeing him grow as an athlete and as a man in general was just amazing.”
The couple, who share two dogs and a home in Kansas City, Missouri, have 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 his longtime love the day he received his championship rings at Arrowhead Stadium in Sept 2020.
“On a day that was meant to celebrate you, you turned it into celebrating us. It’s always us, it’s always you and me,” Matthews wrote via Instagram at the time. “The words you looked into my eyes and said to me at this moment, will NEVER leave my mind! This day was perfect because of you. You took my breath away and made it so special. You are my forever and ever! Cheers to spending our lifetime together and an inseparable bond🎉🥂💕.”
In the same month, they announced that they were expecting their first child together, a girl. Sterling was born in February 2021.
