Patrick and Brittany Mahomes opened up about how the two met and wound up getting together, and not many would’ve guessed that the QB had to be the one to dig himself out of the friend zone to get her attention.
In the first episode of the Netflix series “Quarterback,” the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback said he and Brittany met in seventh and eighth grade, but because she was a grade above him, he was stuck in the “friend zone.”
“I was like the best friend, in the friend zone forever,” he said. “I used to walk her to class and was trying to flirt. When I was a sophomore in high school, and she was a junior, I actually got her a rose and I was kinda, like, I had a crush on her. But I was giving the rose as a joke, but kind of a quotation ‘joke.’
Brittany then spoke:
“I thought it was the cutest thing in the world,” she said. “And then everyone at our lunch table started chanting, ‘Kiss him, kiss him!’ and made it really awkward ’cause we were ‘just friends.’ That’s kind of what started it and I thought it was cute.
“So they were chanting and I thought it was kind of awkward, and it was funny, and then we just kind of… I was like, ‘OK, this guy is actually kind of cute. Maybe I do like him.’ So then we just started talking and then started dating.”
Fast forward 10 years or so, and the couple are now proud parents of son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon and daughter Sterling Skye.
The two got married in July 2022.

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback won his second NFL MVP Award.
