Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and co-owner of Kansas City Current NWSL team, has sparked a heated debate with her new photoshoot. Mahomes joined the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family as a rookie posing for some hot bikini-clad photos in its 2024 issue. Fans on X have now come in support of the mom of two after internet backlash over the photos.
Brittany Mahomes played professional soccer for the Icelandic club UMF Afturelding and is also a certified personal trainer. Mahomes was recently captured multiple times hanging out with Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Chiefs running back Travis Kelce.
Brittany Mahomes’s Supporters Shut Down The Criticism For Her Swimsuit Photos
In a statement released by Sports Illustrated editor-in-chief MJ Day, he welcomed Brittany Mahomes to the SI Swimsuit family. Day described Mahomes as the “epitome of a modern-day powerhouse.” The statement further highlighted the achievements of Mahomes and shared her journey to inspiring and empowering women worldwide.
However, Mahomes’s photos in the Kansas City-themed one-piece and two-piece swimsuits (via Instagram) did not sit well with some sections of the audience. The photos became widely discussed especially in the backdrop of the upcoming Super Bowl match between Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. Patrick Mahomes is one of the best players currently in the NFL and haters took the opportunity to divert unnecessary criticism toward Brittany Mahomes’s photos.
The heated debate also involved Mahomes’ new best friend Taylor Swift. Some fans tried to spark a fake feud between the two ladies, but true Swifties know that there’s no bad blood between the two. One fan wrote on X in support of the Kansas City women’s team owner that she was hotter than the Cruel Summer singer. However, another fan disagreed and shared that both women are great-looking. Several supporting fan comments on X read:
They are BOTH great! ❤️💛

If you hate Brittany Mahomes, you’re a bitter bitch. She’s educated, a mom, a wife, encourages fitness, owns a sports team, and gives back to the community. What is there to hate?

Mahomes concluded, “KEEP SHINING and being you.” (via People)

Swift and Mahomes attended the Chiefs game at MetLife Stadium the next day in a box, filled with A-list celebrities including Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski.

Them. Know.” (via Page Six). Super Bowl LVIII will take place at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, on Sunday night.
