That wasn’t the only big news for Mahomes in 2020. He and the Chiefs agreed on a $450 million extension that includes a $140 million injury guarantee and it’s considered one of the largest contracts in sports history. Mahomes also became part owner of the Kansas City Royals, making him the youngest part-owner in sports history, according to CNBC. While Mahomes has been on a career high, his fiancée has been by his side the whole time. But who is the sweet soul who stole his heart early on? Meet Patrick Mahomes’ fiancée, Brittany Matthews.

Aside from being Mahomes’ fiancée, the former University of Texas-Tyler soccer player played professionally at UMF Afturelding in Iceland.

She can be at any weight and still be happy. She can be at any weight and working on herself to become a healthy person,” Matthews said.
Fitness is her passion
Matthews regularly posts workout videos on Instagram, sharing tips and tricks about staying fit, even during the pandemic.
