Summary
- Patrick Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain in January 2023.
- Some fans questioned how supportive Brittany Mahomes was during Patrick's recovery from his leg injury.
- Despite some criticisms, Patrick has expressed admiration for his wife Brittany.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has an inspiring backstory and fans love learning about him as much as they like watching him play football. If people talk about Patrick a lot, they might discuss his wife even more. Since they got married in 2022, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes live a fancy life and to say that they are often under a microscope would be an understatement.
People have many opinions about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. When they were featured in a Netflix series called Quarterback, the subject of Patrick's leg injury came up, and people began talking even more. Here's what fans should know about whether Brittany was there for her husband when he got really hurt.
What Injury Did Patrick Mahomes Have?
If anyone hurts their leg, it's going to massively impact their ability to move and live their regular life. When a musician like Zack De La Rocha injures their leg, they're going to have a cancel a tour, which is more than a little bit disappointing.
Similarly, as every athlete knows, a leg injury can be absolutely horrifying. As soon as a player hurts themselves during a game, they start thinking about all the ways that this could impact their career. Since athletes sign such lucrative contracts and also have an entire team counting on them, there is a lot of pressure.
In January 2023, Patrick Mahomes hurt his leg. The New York Post reported that he had a "high-ankle sprain." This happened during a game that the Jacksonville Jaguars played against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick explained that he was going to try his best not to take too much time off. He wanted to get back out there.
According to Bleacherreporter.com, in April 2023, Patrick talked more about what it was like to recover from this leg injury. He explained, "I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent, but I've had no necessary limitations. It's just when you go through a grind of a week of training and you're trying to push it and go through the rehab process, but at the same time, you want to make sure you're still building."
The athlete played the big Super Bowl game in February 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles and while it was nerve-wracking to watch him on the field, Patrick was still able to play well.
How Did Patrick Mahomes's Wife Brittany Mahomes Act When He Injured His Leg?
However, while Patrick Mahomes seemed determined to keep going with his athletic career after his injury, some fans are unsure if his wife Brittany Mahomes treated him nicely during his recovery process.
According to Nicki Swift, the TV show Quarterback shared quite a lot about Brittany and Patrick Mahomes's relationship.
The series, which fans can watch on Netflix, showed viewers what happened when Patrick hurt himself. Brittany said that because Patrick was hurt, she didn't think that he would want to look after Patrick Bronze Lavon Mahomes III, their young child.
In Quarterback, Brittany was sitting among a group of people watching the January 2023 game when Patrick hurt his leg. She said, "Now I'm going to have to hear about it all week, 'I can't do nothing. I got to sit on the couch and recover.' That's what it's going to be."
Fans can look at Brittany's comments in two ways. On the one hand, it didn't sound like she was being very sweet or helpful. Her husband was in a lot of pain and likely concerned about how this injury would affect the rest of the season. People could argue that he didn't need his partner acting like that.
On the other hand, fans could say that Brittany was right and that Patrick would likely keep talking about his injury. Even if someone is trying not to complain or be negative, they can't help but feel frustrated about being hurt.
It seems like this was just a small moment in the couple's marriage and fans shouldn't be worried that she wasn't actually there for him.
Brittany Mahomes has been there for her husband throughout his athletic career. In January 2023, The Sun reported that she posted on Instagram and wrote "Proud."
Brittany told CBS Mornings that it took some time to get used to being married to such a famous athlete. She said, "I was not prepared for this. At such a young age we were in love and I loved him with all of my heart, but I didn’t expect it to skyrocket this soon and us kinda being thrown into the fire like this."
It sounds like Brittany is, unfortunately, used to being criticized on a regular basis. Us Weekly reported in April 2023 that someone referred to her as "a gold digger" on Instagram and she said, “I wish I dug and found gold.”
In July 2023, Patrick Mahomes talked about Brittany in an interview with People. He said that he thinks that she's amazing and that she allows him to focus on his career.
Patrick said, “I have a great wife. I think that helps out a ton. She helps me out a ton by taking stuff off my plate. I have great people around me and I can be Patrick Mahomes. I can be myself, the same person I've grown up being — and luckily that's won a couple of Super Bowls."
From this interview, it doesn't sound like Patrick Mahomes has any problem with his wife Brittany Mahomes or the way that she treats him.
While of course the couple is very wealthy, they are still relatable and normal in other ways. It sounds like they have a playful relationship and can admit when they aren't perfect.
In February 2023, according to Us Weekly, Patrick said that he hadn't given Valentine's Day any thought. He said, “I didn’t even notice it was coming up, so don’t tell her I said that. But I’ll make sure I have some plans now. I don’t know when it is. I know it’s February 14, but I don’t know what day of the week [it is].”
