Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes are the definition of couple goals.
The couple, both 28 years old, made a stunning appearance together on the red carpet at the TIME 100 gala in New York City on Thursday, April 25. Patrick looked sharp in a deep plum-colored suit paired with a black shirt and no tie, while Brittany complemented his look perfectly.
Brittany looked stunning in a high-waisted floor-length skirt paired with a crystal crop top that highlighted her toned abs and rib tattoo. She accessorized with shiny Kwiat jewelry and wore her hair in a loose updo with soft curls framing her face.
The duo's appearance came just a day after Patrick, who made the cover of TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2024 list, admitted that Taylor Swift has brought more attention to him and the Kansas City Chiefs since she started dating teammate Travis Kelce in the summer of 2023.
"Patrick Mahomes is definitely the best QB in the league, and he has the potential to be the GOAT. However, one user pointed out that Taylor Swift actually generated more buzz for the Chiefs by sitting in the box seats than his Time Magazine cover story."
In a video shared by Complex on Wednesday, April 24, Patrick responded to the tweet by acknowledging, "That is true. But she was the Time Person of the Year a couple months before that, so it’s really cool to be on the cover of Time."
He continued, "It's great when your best friend is dating the most famous woman in the world."
Since she started dating Kelce, Swift has become close with Patrick and his wife. During the 2023-2024 NFL season, she supported the Chiefs with Brittany and learned about football from Patrick.
During a TIME interview, Mahomes shared that even when discussing football, his fiancée Brittany shows her business acumen by analyzing and learning the game as if she were trying to become a coach. She asks insightful questions and suggests different strategies.
When they're not with the pop star, Patrick and Brittany devote their time to their two young children: 3-year-old daughter Sterling and 16-month-old son Bronze. The couple, who met in high school in Texas, recently celebrated 12 years together.

"Can you believe it's been 12 years since we first met?" Brittany captioned a recent photo of herself and Patrick side by side. "I never would have imagined we'd be where we are now! Life with you @patrickmahomes is amazing."
Even though Patrick and Brittany met when they were teenagers, they ended up going to different colleges. Patrick chose Texas Tech, while Brittany pursued soccer at the University of Texas Tyler. After dating for a decade, they finally tied the knot in March 2022.
Brittany shared with Today in December 2020 that the realization hit her - "Oh my, he might actually go play professional football." It was a surreal experience to witness him living his dream and evolving as an athlete and as a man.
In February, when the Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl, Brittany couldn't help but admire her husband's determination and skill.
This season was truly special. Despite the challenges and doubters, one guy never lost faith in his team. He showed true leadership and teamwork, always striving to do better and lead his team to the Super Bowl. Witnessing his dedication behind the scenes left me in awe of him as both a person and a football player. He truly deserved this moment and I will always be proud of him.
During the celebration, Patrick expressed his gratitude to his wife and family. Holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy after a victory against the San Francisco 49ers, he thanked his wife for her unwavering support. With his family by his side, he raised a toast, acknowledging Brittany as a wonderful wife and their two children as blessings. This moment meant everything to him, having his loved ones there with him.
