Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s digital cover featuring six NFL partners dropped on Feb. 5, but the buzz hasn’t faded. Three weeks after the initial release, the “pregame lineup” video shot on Captiva Island is still trending on social media.
Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, headlined the group, which also included five more NFL WAGs. For the majority of fans who used to watch these beauties in luxury boxes or on the sidelines, their bold bikini look became a very first and unusual experience.

Brittany captains a lineup that looks more like a roster of entrepreneurs than traditional sideline fixtures. At 30, Patrick remains the league’s gold standard with three Super Bowl rings and a $503 million contract extension.

But this shoot focuses on the “Team Behind the Team.” Brittany balances these high-profile projects while raising three children under five: Sterling (4), Bronze (3), and one-year-old Golden Raye, who arrived in January 2025.
The rest of the roster included Christen Goff, a veteran SI model and wife of Lions QB Jared Goff, who returned to the magazine just months after welcoming a daughter last July. Joining her was Ronika Love, a pro volleyball player for the San Diego Mojo and wife of Packers QB Jordan Love.

The Internet showed two sides
As soon as the fashion swimsuit video went viral, fans split into two camps and both sides made their opinions clear.
One fanwrote, “I mean you have to respect them for leaning into the joke. Also shoutout Mrs. Mahomes’ surgeon.”
Another drew a hard line,adding, “Call me old fashioned, but ain’t no way in hell my wife is doing the SI swimsuit mag when I’m making millions on football and sponsorships.”
A third went full housewife-era,penning, “Get Brittany Mahomes’ a– outta there. She’s got kids to feed and Super Bowl rings to polish.”
A fourth skipped the nuance andremarked, “Get away from Brittany. Nasty plastic fake hoe getting money off Kermit.”
And the fifth, possibly a baseball fan,noted, “@MLB wives are much hotter.”
A random X userclaimed, “First time watching Pat’s wife in such an open look.”

Between the three kids, including newborn Golden Raye, her Brittany Lynne Fitness brand, a second SI Swimsuit cover, and a stake in a $275 million NWSL franchise, Brittany has been running her own plays for years. Still, Pat’s wife will always be her first identity.
