Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes is proud of their latest achiement.
All eyes are on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the start of organized team activities.
While the first voluntary practice session was closed to the media, the Chiefs posted a video of Mahomes scrambling and throwing a pass with a brace on his leg. After suffering an ACL tear in December, the three-time Super Bowl MVP is determined to be ready to start in Week 1.
While Thursday’s open practice will paint a more detailed story of his progress, Mahomes practicing in any capacity is a great sign.
Before the start of OTAs, Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, co-owners of the Kansas City Current, took the entire family to a match at CPKC Stadium. Their kids, Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden, 1, all rocked matching teal Current shirts as the club defeated the Portland Thorns 3-1.
While the club got off to a painfully slow start this season, with the return of reigning two-time NWSL MVP Temwa Chawinga, the Current sit in sixth place with an 11-6 record.
Before the team’s next match against the Boston Legacy, Brittany shared the Current’s big announcement.

With the Chiefs star and Brittany at the helm alongside owner Chris and Angie Long, the Current are now worth $375 million, the second-most valuable franchise in the league.
In addition to building up the community surrounding CPKC Stadium, they announced a no-cost youth soccer league in the historic Northeast neighborhood. The league kicks off on July 11 and will include participants between the ages of 8 and 10 years old. They are expecting to field 120 kids this summer.
“Launching the 9th & Van Brunt Soccer League is a perfect embodiment of the Kansas City Current’s community pillars. We could not be more appreciative of our incredible partners and staff that helped bring this to life,” Kansas City Current President, Raven Jemison, said in a statement.
“This league will have a generational impact on young athletes, families and coaches across the city. We are excited to see how the league grows and the success stories that come from it.”
Brittany, a former professional soccer player, liked the announcement on Instagram and proudly reshared the post on her Instagram Stories. Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, commented, “So amazing 🤍.”
