Patrick Mahomes took his wife Brittany Mahomes — and his new haircut — out for date night at an college basketball game.
Patrick and Brittany, both 29, attended a matchup between Texas Tech and the University of Houston in Lubbock, Texas, on Monday, February 24. Patrick, who previously played football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, was caught on the Jumbotron sporting a huge grin, shorter hair and red-and-black merch from his alma mater. (Brittany wore the team’s colors too.)
Ultimately, Houston defeated Texas Tech with a close score of 69-61.
It was the latest loss for a team near and dear to Patrick’s heart, but this time he wasn’t a participating athlete. Earlier this year, the star quarterback and his Kansas City Chiefs lost their Super Bowl battle to the Philadelphia Eagles. Patrick bid farewell to his iconic mohawk hairstyle and debuted a shorter cut several days after the defeat.

Not surprisingly, Patrick’s new look, first seen at a family event, sparked lots of conversation online.
“Mahomes finally got rid of the mohawk and that could only mean one thing!” one fan wrote via X on February 17. “MVP and SBMVP season loading…redemption season.”

Patrick previously signaled that a hair change was in the works. While appearing in Netflix’s 2023 docuseries Quarterback, he admitted that he was considering changing up his signature curls.
“Hair’s gone next year. Going with different hair next year,” he told his trainer, Bobby Stroupe. “I can’t have two kids and a Mohawk. ‘Cause I gotta be a dad at some point. … Imagine being 40 years old with this haircut.”

In January, Patrick and Brittany welcomed their third child — daughter Golden Raye. The NFL power couple, who tied the knot in March 2022, are already parents of daughter Sterling and son Bronze, who arrived in February 2021 and November 2022, respectively.
Patrick is focused on family amid the offseason. On Saturday, February 23, he and his wife hosted a celebratory Bluey-themed gathering in honor of Sterling turning 4 years old.
“I think people don’t even realize how much she does,” Patrick said of Brittany during a May 2024 appearance on the “Impaulsive” podcast. “I mean, taking care of the day-to-day stuff and make it where I can focus on football and focus on my craft and everything like that. [She’s] a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife, [which] makes it a lot easier.”
He continued, “I mean, when you get to come home and your best friend’s there and you can just hang out, it makes you want to be there all the time and she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”
