Patrick Mahomes, the superstar quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is gearing up for his 10-year high school reunion, but unfortunately, he won’t be able to attend the upcoming celebrations. Speaking to PEOPLE at the 2024 Super Bowl ring ceremony, Patrick revealed that it has been a decade since he left Whitehouse High School in Texas. Although he won’t be there in person, he expressed his best wishes for his former classmates.
“It’s in September. We actually talked about this with my friends last weekend,” Patrick shared with PEOPLE. “So, it’s 10 years for me, she’s older than me,” he added, pointing to his wife Brittany, who is also 28 years old. The couple, who are high school sweethearts, first met when Brittany was a junior and Patrick was a sophomore. “She’s at 11 now. But, I won’t be able to celebrate it but I’m gonna send my best wishes to all my classmates,” Patrick explained.
