NFL star Patrick Mahomes and his fiancée Brittany Matthews have been together for almost a decade at this point. They started dating way back in high school, and they've been there for each other ever since. High school sweethearts are always adorable, but Brittany and Patrick are even cuter than most.
Since their high school days, Brittany has been cheering from the sidelines as Patrick played football for his high school and college teams and then ended up being drafted into the NFL by the Kansas City Chiefs. And all along the way, Patrick has treated Brittany like his queen, always calling her "the best one" in his Instagram captions and going out of his way with grand gestures.
Basically, the duo is couple goals — and definitely keep an eye out for Brittany when Patrick plays in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7. There's no doubt she'll be right there cheering him on like she has for the last nine years.
Prom Date
Since the duo was dating all the way back in high school, they actually went to the prom together. Patrick asked Brittany to attend the dance with a golf-themed pun – "Brittany, will you drive me to prom?" Guess only one of them had the license/car! He even spelled "prom" out in golf balls. This couple has been cute forever.
Valentine's Day Throwback
Click the arrow on the right hand side of this photo to see another picture of the couple together in high school. Patrick posted it for Valentine's Day with the caption, "My valentine from the beginning to now!" They were such babies back then! Patrick was on the high school football team and Brittany was already his biggest cheerleader.
Draft Day
Brittany was right by his side when Patrick got drafted into the NFL to play for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017. He's been on the team ever since, helping take them to two back-to-back Super Bowls. It's sweet how supportive of Patrick's career Brittany is. She's been with him since the beginning of it all.
Goofing Around
As the saying goes: The couple that plays together, stays together. Brittany and Patrick have a really fun relationship, and they're never afraid to let their silly sides show. Here they are goofing around at a wedding and looking totally chic in their formal outfits. That yellow dress is gorgeous on Brittany, and Patrick looks so dapper.
Epic Halloween Costumes
The duo also always has fun dressing up for Halloween. A couple of years back, they went as two characters from the new Jurassic World movie — a dinosaur and Claire Dearing. Patrick's level of commitment to this costume is beyond amazing. Further proof that dressing up for Halloween isn't just for kids.
All She Needs
"My world, my family, my best friends," Brittany captioned this sweet shot. She seems so content with her life. She has a wonderful family with Patrick (including two cute dogs), and everything is coming up roses for them. They're so cute together, and they deserve all the good in the world that's coming their way.
Biggest Fan
Brittany has been by Patrick's side at all his games since his high school days, and she's never stopped. These days, she can often be seen standing on the sidelines of his Chiefs games, rooting him on. "#ChiefsKingdom" she hashtagged this picture of the couple standing on the field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Super Bowl Champ
Last year, Patrick won his first Super Bowl, and of course Brittany was totally ecstatic for him. "This is my person, and he deserves every ounce of this," she wrote on Twitter alongside two photos of the couple celebrating his big win. It's kind of a big deal to win a championship so soon after joining the league.
Posing With his Billboard
As Patrick's star began to rise, Brittany took it all in with him — including seeing his giant MVP face on this poster. Of course, she had to snap a picture with him in front of the billboard. It doesn't get much cooler than that, right? Unless he wins a second Super Bowl championship this year. That would also be pretty cool.
So Proud
After Patrick helped take his team to victory at the 2020 Super Bowl, he was awarded a big new contract with the Chiefs. It was a 10-year extension worth $503 million, and Brittany jumped on Instagram to congratulate her boyfriend. "Let me tell y’all about my best friend, he earned that ish," she captioned this picture.
Vacation Time
After all his hard work during last year's Super Bowl – and the whole season leading up to it — Patrick finally got to take some time off in 2020 between football seasons. He and Brittany hit the ocean in a luxurious boat for some well-deserved rest. "Great times with great people!!" he captioned the snuggly photo.
Put a Ring on it
In September, after almost a decade of dating, Patrick finally proposed to Brittany. When she posted their engaagement photos, Brittany added a long caption expressing her joy. "The words you looked into my eyes and said to me at this moment, will NEVER leave my mind! You made this day perfect, you took my entire breath away and I could not have imagined anything better. I love you, forever and always! Cheers to spending our lifetime together and an inseparable bond," she wrote.
So in Love
After Patrick proposed, Brittany was just floating. She posted several of the couple's engagement photos with this caption, "Sure going to soak up being your fiancé just a little while longer." Enjoy every minute of it, Brittany! After all, she did wait almost nine years for him to put a ring on it.
Pregnancy Announcement
Shortly after their engagement announcement, Brittany and Patrick also revealed that they were expecting their first child together. "Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding," Brittany joked on Instagram. She posted a sweet photo of the couple holding their ultrasound photo to announce the big news.
Gender Reveal Party
In October, the duo had a gender reveal party, and they announced to their followers that they're expecting a little girl. "Can’t wait to be a family of 5," Brittany wrote on Instagram, referencing the fact that the couple already has two fur babies. We can already imagine how great of parents they're going to be to a human baby.
Family Thanksgiving
Right now they're still a family of four, though. And Patrick and Brittany had a nice quiet Thanksgivng with their dogs and Patrick's brother, Jackson Mahomes. "Thankful, blessed & grateful for my life and everyone in it!" Brittany said on Instagram. By Thanksgiving next year, they'll have a little one to attend to!
Do you Want to Build a Snowman?
See? They're already practicing being parents in this video. Making a snowman? Check. Playing a song from Frozen? Check. What more do they need? Kidding, kidding. But they do have an awesome ability to have fun with whatever they're doing, and that is a key part of being a good mom or dad.
Bumpin' at Christmas
Next Christmas, Patrick and Brittany will have a daughter to spoil with gifts, but for now the duo is just excitedly watching Brittany's baby bump grow. After she posted this cute holiday shot, Patrick's brother commented, "awhhh love u guys." Same, Jackson. Same. They're seriously so cute together.
Matching
We love when a couple wears matching clothes, like when Patrick and Brittany both wore white and black buffalo check jackets. "Haven't posted a photo with this guy in a while, so here’s my Fiancé, Baby Daddy, Dog Daddy & Bestfriend. Hehehe love ya lots," Brittany captioned the adorable photo. We hope they both match the baby in future pics.
Post-Game Prize
Let's be real, even if Patrick and the Chiefs don't win the 2021 Super Bowl, he's already winning at life. He's got his supportive, gorgeous fiancée and a baby girl on the way and two sweet puppy dogs. Sure, a second championship title would be fun to add to that, but he's going home a winner either way.
