The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped a disappointing 2025 campaign with a 6-11 record. It is their first losing record in 13 years, and a far cry from the back-to-back Super Bowl runs. Overall, it was an underwhelming campaign for star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
He is in rehab now after tearing his ACL in a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, which officially sealed their playoff elimination weeks before the postseason. For the very first time, he posted many fewer than 4000 yards in his tenure with the Chiefs, alongside posting 22 touchdowns against 11 interceptions.
While Pat grinds through PT sessions in Dallas, his younger brother Jackson Mahomes seems to be dodging the offseason blues. The 25-year-old social media influencer is often in the crosshairs for his sideline antics during Chiefs games. Now, he is soaking up the spotlight elsewhere. His relationship with girlfriend Shyanne Blankenship has provided a lighter narrative amid the family’s football fallout.
Jackson didn’t hold back on Instagram this week, dropping a straightforward compliment on Blankenship’s latest post. On Monday, the Kansas City native uploaded a five-photo carousel showcasing her glam.

She can be seen in a white pullover emblazoned with the Grateful Dead’s iconic “Steal Your Face” logo, paired with red bikini bottoms. It was almost looking like an all-out beach-ready look. Her bold look is now turning heads on Instagram, blending rock nostalgia with summer flair.
In the comments, Jackson couldn’t hold back from penning, “my gf is so pretty.” They officially “hard launched” their relationship on TikTok with a video set to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” in May 2025. Jackson later posted an Instagram photo of them together, confirming the relationship with the caption “found my keeper.”

It’s a low-key win for Jackson, who’s built a TikTok following of 1.1 million despite past scrutiny over bar incidents and viral dances. Just to recap, the couple has known each other since at least 2023, when they were seen together at a Drake concert.

Blankenship poked fun at Jackson’s praise, replying, “Boy u love to start an article.” She was teasing him about how easily their posts become news. Jackson’s social media engagement has jumped about 15% since they went public last year.
Meanwhile, Chiefs fans are hoping the team uses the 2026 draft to fix the offensive line so Patrick Mahomes can return to 5,000-yard passing seasons. With the Chiefs expected to cut Jawaan Taylor to save $20 million in cap space, they are eyeing top draft prospects like Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano.
Plus, many experts also predict they will draft Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love at No. 9 to fix a running game that was one of the league’s worst last season.
