Brittany Mahomes Praises Patrick Mahomes for Embracing His 'Dad Bod'

Brittany Mahomes showed her admiration for her husband, Patrick Mahomes, despite comments about his appearance.

After Patrick, 28, was featured as one of TIME's Most Influential People, Brittany, 28, proudly shared his cover on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, April 16. She captioned the post with "My hottttttt hubby," along with sharing pictures of Patrick cuddling with their 16-month-old son, Bronze, and adorable moments with their 3-year-old daughter, Sterling.

In a recent interview, the athlete talked about the discussions about his "dad bod" that arose after a video of him shirtless became popular online earlier this year.

He mentioned, "I do have a bit of a dad bod. But I also believe that I have a strong body suited for a quarterback. You need some extra padding to endure the hits that we quarterbacks face."

In January, a video of Patrick Mahomes changing in the Kansas City Chiefs locker room was shown on The CW's Inside the NFL. This led to discussions about his more muscular physique. Patrick responded to the online chatter by writing on X, "Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? Like I got kids!!!"

Brittany shared on Instagram in February, "This season was a special one! This guy never stopped believing in his team...through the ups and downs and all the doubters, never once did he doubt this team. He is a true leader and a team player. He continued to ask himself what he could do better to lead this team to the Super Bowl. I saw so much behind the scenes that I will forever be in awe of you as a person and a football player! You my guy deserved this!!! I love you and am always and forever proud of you️."

Patrick opened up to TIME about putting his family first, hinting that he already has an idea of when he’d retire from playing football.
