Having been together since Mahomes' high school days at Texan Tech, Brittany Matthews has been a constant fixture beside the Chiefs quarterback, who continues to hit the heights of his career in 2020. After leading the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years, Mahomes led the proceedings for his side in the Super Bowl LIV, helping them to a 31-20 win over San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes picked up the Super Bowl MVP award along the way.

The 25-year-old's stellar rise with Kansas City was rewarded as he became the first athlete in North America to earn a half-a-billion dollar contract, signing a 10-year, $500 million contract extension with the Chiefs. The quarterback then went onto become a minority owner of Major League Baseball franchise Kansas City Royals. 

Speaking to KSHB, Mahomes shared his first thought of becoming a father and starting a family with his long-time partner: "Being able to kind of grow up and have these dreams of having a family and playing in the NFL and for that have the stuff to start happening and really coming into truth and everything like that, it’s really cool. I’m just excited that I have a lot of great people around me and I’m in a great organization and I’m able to live out these dreams day by day.”
