Jason Whitlock declares Brittany Mahomes as 'favorite football wife' after Donald Trump post controversy
Brittany Mahomes went viral with her controversy over liking a Donald Trump Instagram post earlier this month. Brittany, married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, liked a tweet by the presidential candidate, causing fans to react.
Although Brittany hasn't explicitly addressed the issue, conservative sports analyst Jason Whitlock — who has previously criticized her — named her his "favorite football wife" on his podcast on Tuesday.
"Brittany Mahomes, I got to admit, she is about to be my favorite football fan, favorite football wife," Whitlock said. "I've already been leaning this direction.
"I said it several months ago. I was like, 'Hey, man I kind of like the way Patrick Mahomes doesn't go anywhere without his wife. Man, he's really into his wife, and I respect that. And people took it some sort of way that, you know, I was calling her 'less than ideal' or 'less than attractive,' but she's an attractive woman."
Whitlock added that Mahomes' love for his wife is "real."
Whitlock elaborated on the Trump matter, calling out the hate she's receiving for liking her one post, which outlined the MAGA platform for 2024.
"She's gotten some heat because she liked some Instagram post supporting Donald Trump, and then she doubled down and posted a response. ... She went from being this annoying wife to, you know, now one of my favorite people connected to the NFL," Whitlock said (Timestamp: 32.28).
In April, Whitlock said that Mahomes was "stuck" with Brittany.
According to Whitlock, the QB has stayed loyal to Brittany despite her not being the "most polished" person.
Brittany Mahomes called out haters after liking Donald Trump's Instagram post
Although Brittany Mahomes didn't address the matter directly, she shared her views on people who called her out.
“I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood," she wrote in her Instagram story. "There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Although she has made her stand clear, Brittany hasn't mentioned Donald Trump or politics directly.
