Chiefs’ poster boy, Patrick Mahomes is at the peak of his football career and has almost achieved everything a player can imagine entering the NFL arena. While his on-field success continues to make headlines, his wife, Brittany Matthews, remains a pillar of support. They were in touch with one another even before Mahomes stepped into the grand league of football. To make sure that she remains with him forever and to commemorate their dating journey, the quarterback once gifted her an exquisite diamond ring to her which is almost worth the salary of an average NFL player.

Brittany and Patrick have known each other since childhood. They went to high school together and played different sports for the team. While the Chiefs quarterback enjoyed basketball and baseball, Brittany happened to be an avid soccer player.
Back in 2020, the gunslinger signed a massive $503 million contract extension with the Chiefs, securing his presence for the next 10 years. To celebrate this moment, Mahomes proposed to her longtime girlfriend for their marriage and gave her an expensive ring.
How much did Patrick Mahomes spend on the ring?
After signing the contract, the Chiefs quarterback became the highest-paid athlete in the NFL. He could afford all the world’s luxuries and lead a dynamic life. The first thing he chose to do was secure his life partner, who has been by his side for a long-time. Per reports, the ring costs $800,000 and has a 10-carat diamond. Brilliant Earth’s representative explained the details of this jewelry in a much broader sense.
“Brittany’s stunning and trendy engagement ring from Patrick appears to feature an estimated 8- to 10-carat emerald-cut diamond. Depending on the quality and specific characteristics of the center gemstone, we estimate the cost of the ring to be between $350,000-$800,000,” Kathryn Money said in an interview.
It was actually an engagement ring that Mahomes offered in September 2020, the same day he received his championship ring at Arrowhead Stadium. Instead of relishing his success, the gunslinger made the moment even more delightful by proposing to his girlfriend.
Brittany Matthews recalls the most special day of her life
The Texas teens started dating in 2012, when the duo was in high school. Later, they shifted to different colleges but remained in the same city. Hence, they could keep their relationship alive. “The words you looked into my eyes and said to me at this moment will NEVER leave my mind! You made this day perfect, you took my entire breath away,” Brittany wrote on her Instagram handle after accepting the proposal.
Just one month after this incident, the duo announced that they were expecting a baby, and Sterling Skye was born the following year. In March 2022, they finally got married and became partners for life. Subsequently, Mahomes and Matthews welcomed their second child, baby boy Bronze, into the clan.
