The couple that sweats together …
Fill in that blank however you want.
But today, the couple in question is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, co-owners of the KC Current women’s soccer team and one of the most high-profile husband-and-wife duos in the NFL.
They star together in a new marketing campaign for WHOOP health and fitness trackers. They posted videos to their respective Instagram accounts Thursday.
Brittany’s video shows them in workout gear, Whoop trackers strapped to their wrists, going head-to-head on a mat doing leg lifts and passing a medicine ball back and forth.
The tagline reads: “Performance isn’t bought. It’s built.”
Brittany’s social media followers know the former fitness trainer and professional soccer player as a beast in the weight room. Her workouts during and after her three pregnancies have been especially inspirational for her fans.
She posted the behind-the-scenes video of the new campaign with this message: “You can’t pour into others if you don’t pour into yourself first. The all-new @whoop puts the power back in your hands.”
This is a rare look at the couple working out together, if only for cameras. (Brittany had her usual glam squad on hand.) Her followers have seen her more often in the gym with the kids.
She did, though, share a video of them working out at home in 2020 during the pandemic, before they were married.
Patrick partnered with WHOOP in 2020. He’s one of the Boston company’s growing roster of global ambassadors and investors, a who’s who that includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Eli Manning, Rory McIlroy and Michael Phelps.
For Christmas last year he gifted WHOOPs to the Chiefs’ offensive linemen, one of the goodies they received inside Chiefs-red YETI wheeled coolers.
Patrick wears one of the trackers on his uniform sleeve every game to measure his cardiovascular exertion.
During the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and the Bills in January, his WHOOP stats revealed that the strain on his heart was slightly higher than that of a marathon runner.
Last summer Brittany appeared on the WHOOP podcast with company founder and CEO Will Ahmed, in which she defended Patrick against critics of his play the previous season despite leading the Chiefs to a Super Bowl win against the 49ers.
Pregnant at the time with their daughter, Golden Raye, Brittany said Patrick doesn’t listen to any of his critics.
“I don’t think any of that matters to him,” she said.
