Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has received widespread backlash over the past week for endorsing Donald Trump on social media.
Last week, fans noticed that Brittany Mahomes “liked” a post from Trump’s Instagram account that outlined the GOP’s platform for the 2024 U.S. election. Trump, who easily secured the Republican nomination, is running against Democratic and Vice President Kamala Harris.
After the criticism began to mount, Mrs. Mahomes took to social media with a stern message for her haters:
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Patrick Mahomes, reacted on Instagram after there was an uproar over her “liking” a Donald Trump post:
“I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain… pic.twitter.com/sp8K4lFk2x

Brittany further addressed the growing backlash during her appearance on the “WHOOP” podcast. In the interview, she shared the advice that Patrick gave her when it comes to tuning out the noise on social media:
“He is very good at blocking people out so having him beside has helped. The main thing he always told me is to stop caring what people think – especially the people that don’t even know you.
I think social media used to get to me a lot. Now, it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f**k what people have to say about me anymore. And I think he has helped me get to that point.
I am strong in who I am. I am confident in who I am. I’m confident in mine and his relationship and I am confident in our lives. So why does what other people say have to matter at all?”
Unlike Brittany, Patrick has tried to avoid publicly discussing politics altogether. The three-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP has declined to endorse either party or candidate.
At any rate, the couple have far more important personal matters to focus on. In July, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes announced they’re expecting their third child together. Soon after, they announced that the gender is a girl.
The 2024 United States presidential election will be held on Nov. 5. If Kamala Harris wins, she will become the first American woman president. If Trump is victorious, he’ll become the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms, joining Grover Cleveland.
Patrick & Brittany Mahomes Are Gearing Up For A New NFL Season
With the preseason over and all 53-man rosters finalized, Patrick and his Chiefs can now focus on meaningful games. The Chiefs will kick off their 2024 season with a home tilt against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens next Thursday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Brittany will be in attendance for Chiefs games to cheer on Kansas City and their bid to pull off the first Super Bowl three-peat in NFL history.
