🚨 PATRICK MAHOMES’ INJURY AND BRITTANY MAHOMES’ BIG NEWS: From Recovery to the SI Swimsuit Digital Cover 👇
In the wake of a season-ending injury to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been right by his side through the recovery process. Patrick, who suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee during the Chiefs’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 14, is on the mend after undergoing surgery. The good news is that he’s expected to be ready to play in the 2026-27 season opener. But while Patrick focuses on his recovery, Brittany has some personal news of her own — and it’s big!
On February 5, Brittany Mahomes revealed some exciting news of her own. She took to social media, sharing a stunning sun-drenched photo of herself gracing the cover of the 2026 SI Swimsuit Digital Cover. This moment is a milestone for Brittany, as she’s posed for the publication before, but this time, she’s front and center as the cover model. It’s an incredible achievement for the fitness entrepreneur and mom of three.

The breathtaking photo shoot took place in Fort Myers, Florida, where Brittany was photographed by Katherine Goguen. Alongside Brittany, the cover features other notable figures, including Christen Goff (wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff), Haley Cavinder, Ronika Love, Claire Kittle, and Normani. The cover shoot took place at South Seas, a stunning 330-acre resort on Captiva Island, Florida, boasting picturesque views and exotic wildlife — the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable shoot.
In the official SI Swimsuit description, Brittany is celebrated for her multifaceted career. She’s described as a personal trainer, fitness entrepreneur, and former professional soccer player in Iceland. After retiring from soccer, Brittany became a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, an NWSL team based in Kansas City. Since her involvement with the Current, she has played a pivotal role in fostering the team’s culture and helping bring the first soccer stadium specifically built for a women’s professional sports team — CPKC Stadium — to fruition in 2024.
Supporting Patrick During His Injury
While Brittany’s career continues to soar, she’s been a steadfast support for Patrick throughout his recovery. Following Patrick’s injury, Brittany shared a heartfelt photo of him walking across the field with the lights dimmed, accompanied by the message “My guy,” along with a red heart. She posted the image after Patrick shared his own series of photos from the field, showing his resilience and determination.
“Biggest comeback of all-time, book it,” one fan commented on the post, expressing their confidence in Patrick’s eventual return. Another follower wished him, saying, “God speed brother. I know you will come back stronger and better though the journey is challenging and frustrating. Will all be part of your incredible legacy.”
Life in the Spotlight and Moving Forward
While Patrick continues his rehab during the offseason, Brittany is continuing to thrive in her professional endeavors. The couple may have missed the NFL Honors event on February 5, but with Brittany gracing the cover of SI Swimsuit and Patrick focused on his recovery, the Mahomes family is making strides in their personal and professional lives.
As Patrick continues his recovery and Brittany shines in the spotlight, fans and supporters are sending well wishes for both. The future looks bright for the Mahomes family, with Brittany’s achievements adding another chapter to their incredible story. We can’t wait to see what comes next for this dynamic duo as they tackle the future — both on and off the field.
