In the recently released Netflix docuseries "Quarterback," Brittany Mahomes and her Kansas City Chiefs quarterback husband, Patrick Mahomes, share their love story, from their initial meeting to navigating the "friend zone." The couple, now parents of two, recently sat down with "CBS Mornings" to discuss the series and the unexpected challenges of life in the spotlight.
Brittany Mahomes admitted to being caught off guard by the rapid ascent to fame and the accompanying public scrutiny. "I was not prepared for this," she confessed to broadcaster Nate Burleson. "We fell in love at a young age, and I loved him deeply, but I didn't anticipate this level of attention so quickly. It felt like we were thrown into the fire."
Reflecting on her experience, Brittany acknowledged having her own "Welcome to the NFL" moment. She shared an anecdote about posting enthusiastically on Instagram during games, which initially drew criticism and labels like "crazy." This experience taught her a valuable lesson about the boundaries of sharing personal life on social media. "I learned you don’t have to share everything," she stated.
Patrick Mahomes expressed profound appreciation for his wife's unwavering support. "I truly mean this," he emphasized, "I don't think I would be where I am today without Brittany."
