Patrick Mahomes and his longtime girlfriend Brittany Matthews got married. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback married Matthews in Hawaii on Saturday.
Mahomes and Matthews have been dating since they met when they were students at Whitehouse High School, Texas.

Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers in February 2020, proposed to Matthews the night he received his Super Bowl ring in September of that year.
