It does not appear that Mahomes is the only WAG (wives and girlfriends of players) to be featured on this year's issue. The likes of Enter Normani (DK Metcalf's fiancée), Christen Goff (Jared Goff's wife), and Claire Kittle (George Kittle's wife) are also featured on covers.

Mahomes is one of the most notable WAGs, thanks to being married to two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. He is one of the top players in the league, and his wife, Brittany, gets a lot of attention in turn.

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are high school sweethearts. So, she has been with him throughout his entire rise to fame and becoming a three-time Super Bowl MVP.

They got engaged in September 2020, and they got married in March 2022. Together, they have three children (two daughters and a son).

While she is best known as Patrick's wife, Brittany has made a name for herself. She was inducted into the University of Texas at Tyler Hall of Fame in January 2026.
