It is going to be hard for Patrick Mahomes and longtime girlfriend (now fiancee) Brittany Matthews to top 2020. This was true before the couple announced Matthews is pregnant with their first child. Matthews and Mahomes just celebrated their engagement along with the Chiefs quarterback signing a massive contract extension.
The couple broke the news on social media a day after the Chiefs quarterback made short work of the Ravens on Monday Night Football. Matthews called the exciting pregnancy a “small detour to the wedding” while posting a photo of the sonogram.
“Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding❤️,” Matthews posted on Instagram.
Within the last few months, Mahomes signed a record-breaking contract extension, became engaged and found out he is going to be a dad. Mahomes proposed to Matthews in September on the same night the Chiefs received their Super Bowl rings.
