Brittany Mahomes Responds to Kylie Kelce’s Public Praise With a Two-Word Message (Getty Images)
Brittany is a founding co-owner of the Kansas City Current, the National Women’s Soccer League club established in 2020 with Angie and Chris Long. The praise recognised a side of Brittany’s career that can get lost amid the attention surrounding Patrick and the Chiefs. She has her own sporting background, having played college soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler before continuing her career professionally in Iceland. Brittany later shared Kylie’s comments on Instagram and responded with her message of thanks. There was no lengthy exchange or elaborate statement. Her reply acknowledged the compliment, while the public recognition gave her work in women’s soccer a fresh moment in the spotlight. Her involvement gives her a direct role in the development of women’s professional soccer, rather than simply a place on the sidelines as a prominent football spouse.
Patrick joined the club’s ownership group in 2023, adding another high-profile name to its backers.
“Brittany Mahomes is a great example,” Kylie said. Kylie, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, used her podcast appearance to highlight Brittany’s contribution to women’s sports. Rather than focus on her status as an NFL player’s wife, Kylie pointed to the work she has done to help women’s soccer grow in Kansas City. “What she’s done for women’s sports and women’s soccer in the Kansas City area is so impressive. The club’s growth has included CPKC Stadium, a venue built specifically for a professional women’s soccer team. The facility represents a major investment in the sport and gives the Current a dedicated home in Kansas City. It also helps explain why Kylie singled out Brittany’s work when discussing women who use their public standing to support women’s athletics. But Kylie’s praise was directed at Brittany and the contribution she had already made to the project.
