Instead of cheering from a luxury suite at a game her husband has practically owned for nearly a decade, Brittany Mahomes spent Sunday afternoon at the gym.
In a defiant social media post, the wife of superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a workout selfie during the heat of the AFC Championship game-a clear sign that the Mahomes family has officially moved on to the offseason.
“Vibing to this song every day for forever,” Brittany captioned the post, featuring Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The song choice is a nod to the couple’s roots, as both Brittany and Patrick are Texas natives who famously met in high school.
The post marks a dramatic shift in the NFL landscape. For seven consecutive seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs were a fixture in the AFC Championship game.
However, that historic streak officially ended this year after a challenging season that saw the Chiefs miss the playoffs entirely following a devastating injury to their franchise leader.
While Brittany was “vibing” in the gym, the New England Patriots were busy grinding out an “ugly” 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX.

A year of stark contrasts for Brittany and Patrick
The imagery of Brittany’s solo workout is a far cry from this time last year. During the 2024-25 postseason, Brittany was frequently seen celebrating in high-profile suites alongside global icon Taylor Swift, specifically after the Chiefs’ thrilling victory over the Buffalo Bills.
What a difference twelve months can make. Instead of post-game confetti and champagne with pop stars, the Mahomes’ current reality is defined by recovery and family milestones.
While Brittany handles the social media “vibes,” Patrick Mahomes is quietly focused on a grueling rehab process. The quarterback’s season ended abruptly in Week 15 when he suffered a torn ACL and LCL during a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The injury has forced the superstar to trade the gridiron for family time. Recent photos show Patrick celebrating New Year’s Eve and his daughter Golden’s “next-level” first birthday alongside Brittany and their other two children, Sterling and Bronze.
The clock is ticking for Mahomes and the Chiefs
Though Patrick didn’t join his wife in the viral workout post, his focus remains clear. A recent “clock ticking” post on his own social media suggests that the quarterback is already counting down the days until Week 1 of the 2026 season.
With the Patriots and Seahawks now set for the Super Bowl, the Mahomes family is clearly using this rare January downtime to fuel a comeback campaign for next year.
