As TV cameras pan to the families of stars, Brittany Mahomes will be one of the most recognisable faces, alongside .
Brittany, who faced criticism after confirming that she is a supporter, is often spotted at Kansas City Chiefs matches but away from her life as an NFL wife, she has built her own empire.
The married couple met at the University of Texas at Tyler, where Brittany played football and Patrick played American football.
The Texan native did not expect to play college football after graduating from Whitehouse High School, despite being named Offensive MVP and being an All-East Texas forward in her senior year.
She scored 22 goals and created five goals that season, before taking to the field for the Texas-Tyler Patriots.
They exited the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Championships in the first round of her first two years, despite Mahomes becoming the first player in program history to score three hat-tricks in a season.
Her 31 goals in total are the second most in history, before graduating with a degree in kinesiology, and moving to Iceland.
She signed a contract with Afturelding/Fram in the third division alongside her college team-mate Chesley Strother, winning promotion together after Mahomes scored twice in her five appearances with the club. Her contract was not extended, however, and she soon retired from the sport.

Brittany moved back home with Patrick and founded a workout brand, Brittany Lynne Fitness, before investing in National Women’s Soccer League team Kansas City Current.
They were awarded an expansion team in 2020, building a stadium in Kansas City, which she continues to oversee as a co-owner.
“While I was in Iceland, I realized that you have to have a huge passion if you want to play soccer and that’s what you want your career to be,” Brittany told in 2020. “I found that my passion was in fitness and helping others.”
She has thrived off the field with the help of her husband Patrick, soaring to a huge net worth of £12million according to Spanish outlet .
And after the Chiefs reached their third consecutive Super Bowl, Brittany did not hesitate in .
“Thank you all for your concerns with 15 this season, see y’all in New Orleans,” she wrote against a black screen on her story, referencing her husband’s jersey number. She signed it off: “His wife.”
She then posted a picture of a Kermit the Frog toy hanging by a noose in Buffalo, wearing the #15 jersey, as some Bills supporters mocked Patrick over his voice by comparing it to the Muppet character.
Her caption read: “Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting. So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people.”
