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 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.
