PATRICK Mahomes revealed the memory of when he convinced his future wife, Brittany, to date him. The Kansas City star quarterback, 27, and his wife opened up on the start of their relationship in the new Netflix docu-series Quarterback, which premieres on July 12.
The series examines the lives of Mahomes as well as Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and former Atlanta Falcons and current Philadelphia Eagles signal-caller Marcus Mariota. And in the first episode of the series, Mahomes explained how he was able to get out of the “friend zone” with Brittany in their high school in Whitehouse, Texas.
“We kinda met in seventh, eighth grade,” Patrick said. “She was the grade above me, I was kind of the best friend, in the friend zone forever. He continued: “I used to walk her to class and was trying to flirt.
“When I was a sophomore in high school, she was a junior.
“I actually got her a rose … I kinda … I had a crush on her.
“But, I was getting a rose as a joke for Valentine’s Day.”
However, Brittany interpreted Patrick’s “joke” differently.
“He thought it was a joke. …I thought it was the cutest thing in the world,” Brittany said.
“And then everyone at our lunch table started chanting, ‘Kiss him, kiss him,’ and made it really awkward cause we were ‘just friends’ so that’s kind of what started it and then I thought it was cute.” The co-owner of KC Current would then describe her true feelings about the future two-time Super Bowl champion MVP.
“When they were chanting, I thought it was kind of awkward and it was funny,” Brittany said.
“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.’”
The rest is history as the two got married in a ceremony in Hawaii in March 2022. They share two children – daughter Sterling Skye, 2, and son Bronze, who was born last November. Mahomes won his second Super Bowl ring earlier this year after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles by a score of 38-35. Patrick and Brittany attended the Chiefs’ championship ring ceremony in Kansas City last month.
