“Extremely annoyed”: Brittany Mahomes opened up about the early challenges of being married to Patrick Mahomes

Long before Patrick Mahomes became a two-time MVP and the face of an NFL dynasty, he was just a Texas high school athlete dating a driven, outspoken teen named Brittany Matthews. Their love story wasn’t born under stadium spotlights, but once the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback rocketed to stardom, Brittany found herself thrust into a level of public attention few partners are prepared for.From relentless social media commentary to fan obsession over the league’s most marketable star, the pressure grew fast and so did the judgment aimed squarely at her. Years later, as an entrepreneur, mother of three, and a familiar face in Chiefs Kingdom, Brittany has openly acknowledged how overwhelming some of those early experiences truly were.
How Brittany Mahomes turned early frustrations into confidence as Patrick’s career took off

Back in 2023, during an Instagram Q&A, Brittany addressed one of the biggest challenges she had faced: dealing with women openly pursuing her husband. When a follower asked, “How do you deal with all the women trying to get after your husband?” her honesty surprised many. “I did use to have a very hard time and get extremely annoyed,” she admitted. “But I am now to a point where I could care less!”
Her shift in mindset reflected years of personal growth. By that time, Brittany was already balancing motherhood with expanding business ventures and preparing to welcome her third child in 2025. She added, “It’s actually really sad how disrespectful some women are… But they are a waste of my time and not going to disturb my peace.”

While some NFL partners choose near-complete privacy, Brittany embraced visibility, supporting Patrick publicly, showing up on the sidelines, and carving out her own identity beyond being a quarterback’s wife. It’s a balance that even celebrity partners like Hailee Steinfeld and Brittani Rodgers rarely attempt.Patrick himself has long expressed admiration for her strength. “I admire my wife Brittany’s confidence,” he told People. “Whether it’s in business, or supporting our family, she always leads with strength and purpose.”
As the Chiefs work through a challenging season, that steadiness remains as important as ever. And after more than a decade together, Brittany’s evolution shows just how much resilience it takes to stand beside one of the NFL’s biggest stars, without losing yourself in the noise.
