Brittany Mahomes has joined Sports Illustrated as a rookie for 2024, with the announcement coinciding just days before her husband Patrick’s appearance in the Super Bowl.

Brittany Mahomes has posed for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 60th anniversary issue, with the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick announcing her shoot just days before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.,Mahomes, 28, shared a video of her posing on a beach in San Pedro, Belize with SI describing her as ‘unapologetically herself’ ahead of joining as a 2024 rookie for their May edition.

‘I’m truly just so humbled and still in disbelief,’ Mahomes told the publicationAs a girl from Tyler, Texas, who only really knew sports, never in a million years did I think I’d be in the SI Swimsuit Issue. I’m just so grateful for this opportunity.’

Mahomes has seen her fame spiral through becoming one of Taylor Swift’s ‘besties’ since the singer starting dating Travis Kelce, one of Mahomes’ teammates at the Chiefs.The two often sit alongside each other for Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City – they have even celebrated touchdowns with their own handshakes.

And away from the sport that brought them together, they have often dined in New York near Swift’s Manhattan townhouse.But Mahomes is also well known for her work in soccer. She is also a former player through her time at the University of Texas at Tyler and spent time at a team in Iceland in 2017.

She retired in 2017 and started her own workout brand, but she is also a part-owner and founder of the women’s NWSL team Kansas City Current – which Patrick also owns a stake in.The team are opening their own purpose-build women’s soccer stadium in March, a landmark moment.

These women deserve to feel important and have their own facility so that they can perform at their best,’ Mahomes said.’I hope this sets the bar for women’s sports everywhere and other cities continue to build around women’s sports. Just like young boys get to dream of playing football at stadiums like Arrowhead, I want young girls everywhere to aspire to play at stadiums like CPKC.’

Last week, Mahomes split the internet through a video of her asking a security guard for directions after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago to reach the Super Bowl.
