Let’s talk about a crossover that most people didn’t see coming—Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, and former President Donald Trump.
Yes, you heard that right. Brittany Mahomes, known mostly for being a vocal supporter of her husband and an influencer in her own right, made headlines recently for defending Trump’s 2024 MAGA platform, sparking quite the stir on social media. And in classic Trump fashion, the former president wasn’t going to let that show of support go unnoticed.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to thank Brittany, calling her “beautiful” and praising her for standing up for his political movement. He labeled MAGA as the “greatest and most powerful Political Movement” in the country’s history, not pulling any punches as he criticized the current state of affairs.
According to him, with crime, illegal immigration, and inflation spiraling out of control, Brittany’s support was a breath of fresh air for someone who “loves our Country” and wants to help save it. He even gave a shout-out to Brittany and Patrick as a “great couple,” promising to see them at the Super Bowl. Not exactly the typical political discourse you’d expect, but here we are.
I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country. With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all…

The moment that sparked all this? Brittany Mahomes hit the “like” button on one of Trump’s posts on Instagram. The post laid out the former president’s platform, emphasizing tax cuts, securing the border, ending inflation, and, notably, keeping men out of women’s sports. And, as you might expect, the reaction was swift and intense.
Critics rushed to voice their disapproval, but Brittany didn’t back down. In her Instagram Story, she addressed the “haters,” calling out adults who try to tear others down for no reason. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” she wrote, making it clear she wasn’t here for the negativity.
Fast forward to her appearance on the Whoop podcast, and Brittany further doubled down on her approach to handling public scrutiny. Speaking candidly, she explained how her husband, Patrick, helped her navigate the barrage of opinions, encouraging her to block out the noise and stop caring about what strangers think.
“Honestly, I don’t give a F---* what people have to say about me anymore,” she admitted, showing a level of confidence that’s clearly taken time to develop. It seems that the couple’s shared experience of living in the limelight—helped in no small part by Patrick’s professional sports background—has been a key factor in Brittany’s ability to rise above the criticism.
