Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes may be a superstar on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but now it's his wife's turn to shine. Brittany Matthews, who is married to Mahomes, was recently named a rookie for the publication's swimsuit issue. The announcement was made on Thursday, accompanied by photos of Brittany sporting various red one-pieces and bikinis during a photoshoot in Belize.

S.I. Swim editor M.J. Day explained the decision to feature Brittany, praising her as a "modern-day powerhouse" who has exceeded all expectations. She highlighted Brittany's accomplishments as the owner of the Kansas City Current NWSL team, a former professional athlete, and a wife and mother.

Day also mentioned that Brittany is the founder of the world's first dedicated stadium for women's sports.

Brittany, who is a former pro soccer player and a mother of two, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, calling it a dream come true. She hopes that her spread in the swimsuit issue will inspire women across the globe.

The issue, which will feature other notable personalities such as social media star and LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, will be available in May. This achievement comes right before Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, adding to the excitement for the Mahomes family.
