Patrick Mahomes and Fiancée Brittany Matthews Expecting Their First Child: 'Small Detour to the Wedding'
The longtime couple got engaged earlier this month
Patrick Mahomes and his fiancée Brittany Matthews are expecting their first child together, the personal trainer revealed on Instagram Tuesday.
Matthews shared two photos with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, in which she holds up a sonogram as Mahomes, 25, hugs her belly.
″Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding❤️," Matthews wrote in the caption of the post.
Mahomes shared a close-up photo of the sonogram on his own Instagram, captioning the post with a red heart emoji.
The longtime couple — who have been dating since they were teenagers — got engaged earlier this month, when Mahomes popped the question following the Chiefs' Super Bowl ring ceremony and one day after Matthews' 25th birthday.
