When you think of a football family, there are probably a few that come to mind, and if you didn’t say the Mahomes, you’re lying to yourself. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are one of the sweetest love stories from a football family we’ve ever encountered. Not only are they each other’s biggest fans and supporters, but they’ve been that for each other for 11 years now.
The high school sweethearts have been through everything together and trust us when we say everything. They went through the awkward high school years together, long distance, major football events, kids, diapers — you name it.
In a time where A-listers seem to be swapping out partners left and right (no shame with a fling if everyone’s happy and consenting), it’s so wholesome and rare to see a couple so young and already have so many years together under their belt.
The happy parents of two have an incredible love story that not a lot of people know about. Despite being one of the biggest football couples right now, they keep their romantic details more on the private side — most of the time. Luckily, they’ve given fans details here and there throughout the years, and we got them all here!
Check out everything we know about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ adorable relationship below!

I was like, ‘Okay this guy is actually kind of cute. Maybe I do like him.’ So then we just started talking and then started dating.’”
