Before they walked down the aisle, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews went to prom together. And before they welcomed kids, they were maintaining a long-distance relationship while attending different colleges. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the women’s soccer team co-owner have stayed by each other’s sides since they started dating in 2012.
While their love remains staunch, Patrick and Brittany’s lives have evolved quite a bit over the past decade. Their daughter, Sterling Skye, was born in February 2021, and their son, Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon, followed in November 2022. Between the two arrivals, the longtime couple got married in March 2022.
From high school sweethearts to parents of two, the Mahomes have seen and done it all together. Check out the sweet photos that the couple snapped along the way.
Celebrating Mom
For her first Mother’s Day as a mom of two, Brittany brought her husband and kids to see the Kansas City Current, the women’s soccer team she co-owns, take the field.

Officially Married
After 10 years of dating, Brittany and Patrick tied the knot with a stunning private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii. They were joined by family and friends at the altar: Patrick’s brother, Jackson Mahomes, was his best man, and his teammate Travis Kelce was a groomsman. Kelce’s girlfriend Kayla joined as one of Brittany’s bridesmaids.
The most adorable member of the wedding party was naturally their daughter, Sterling Skye, who was only 1 year old at the time. She performed her flower girl duties in style, riding down the aisle in a tiny blue car.
A few days later, the bride shared photos of her little girl on the day of the wedding. “Having your daughter apart of your wedding, just hits different🥺💕,” Brittany wrote alongside her carousel of photos on Instagram.
