Before Brittany Mahomes became a fixture on NFL sidelines, the wife of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and one of the most recognized sports WAGs in the world, she was simply a lifelong football fan—with loyalties that might surprise some.
A recently resurfaced photo from December 2013 shows a teenage Brittany sporting a Green Bay Packers jersey, standing in front of her family’s television and fireplace. The image is a throwback to a time before she became a Kansas City icon, revealing an earlier chapter of her fandom—one influenced by her father, Scott Matthews, a die-hard Packers fan.
Brittany’s Connection to Green Bay Before Kansas City
Long before she became synonymous with the Chiefs Kingdom, Brittany was rooting for the Packers, thanks to her family ties. Even during her early relationship with Mahomes, she was occasionally photographed in Green Bay’s iconic green and gold, not knowing that she would one day become the first lady of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brittany and Patrick Mahomes first started dating in 2012 when they were just high school students in Whitehouse, Texas—Patrick was a sophomore, and Brittany, a junior. When the now-viral 2013 photo was taken, the couple had been dating for nearly two years, completely unaware of the legendary NFL career and global fame that awaited them.

From High School Sweethearts to NFL Power Couple
Fast forward a decade, and Brittany has fully embraced her role in Chiefs fandom, swapping out Packers green for Chiefs red. In fact, her father had to watch his daughter wear Chiefs gear during Kansas City’s matchup against Green Bay in 2023—a full-circle moment for their family.
Today, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are parents of three, living in Kansas City, where Patrick has cemented himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
Brittany’s Rise to Fame and Friendship with Taylor Swift
While Brittany’s fame originally stemmed from her connection to Patrick, she has now become a celebrity in her own right, largely due to her high-profile friendship with Taylor Swift.
The Mahomes-Swift connection has been one of the most talked-about friendships in sports and pop culture, as Brittany and Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have formed a close bond, mirroring the friendship between Patrick and Kelce.
The power couples were even spotted together at the US Open men’s final in New York last year, where they enjoyed a lavish Mediterranean dinner in Manhattan after watching Jannik Sinner’s victory over Taylor Fritz.
Political Differences and Public Scrutiny
However, Brittany and Swift’s friendship has not been without controversy. Late last year, reports surfaced that the two had a falling out over their differing political views. Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for President, while Brittany threw her support behind Donald Trump, creating a divide that temporarily cooled their friendship.
Despite any turbulence, Brittany remains one of the most influential NFL wives, continuously supporting Patrick and the Chiefs, while expanding her own social media presence and business ventures.
A Decade of Love and Commitment
Earlier this month, Patrick and Brittany celebrated three years of marriage, a milestone in a relationship that began nearly a decade ago.
From a Packers-loving teenager to one of the most high-profile sports WAGs in the world, Brittany Mahomes’ journey has been nothing short of remarkable. And while she’s fully embraced Chiefs Kingdom, the resurfaced Green Bay photo serves as a fun reminder that even the biggest sports icons once had different allegiances.
