Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, returned to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition as the digital cover star for February 2026, leading a Super Bowl-themed shoot featuring NFL wives and girlfriends. The 30-year-old fitness entrepreneur posed in a revealing red bikini that showcased underboob, drawing attention amid the buildup to the Super Bowl.
Mahomes, a certified personal trainer and co-owner of the Kansas City Current in the National Women’s Soccer League, was photographed in Fort Myers, Florida, for the digital issue. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity, highlighting her role as a health and wellness advocate. The shoot also included other NFL partners, such as Claire Kittle, wife of San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, emphasizing themes of empowerment and camaraderie among WAGs.
The images, released Feb. 5, 2026, feature Mahomes in a barely-there ensemble with cutouts accentuating her physique, including prominent underboob display.
This marks her second appearance in SI Swimsuit, following her 2024 rookie debut where she similarly turned heads in bold swimwear.
Reactions on X, formerly known as Twitter, were polarized, with fans praising her confidence while critics decried the look as overly provocative.
Positive feedback highlighted Mahomes’ poise and achievement. User @Minjini6974 posted, “Cover energy is LOUD. Congrats to Brittany Mahomes — that SI Swimsuit cover is a major moment. 🔥” Similarly, @GucciSpinal wrote, “Brittany Mahomes officially lands the 2026 SI Swimsuit cover👙🔥” Echoing earlier defenses from her 2024 shoot, @cincykat_ said the hate was “DISGUSTING,” adding, “She looks HOT guys. She is hot. Get the fuck over it.”
On the other side, some users expressed disapproval. @DonnyCartier questioned, “Wtf is Brittany Mahomes doing on an SI Swimsuit cover ??????” @Karn33333 criticized the styling as “terrible,” saying it looked like “she’s trying too hard” and “uncomfortable as fuck.” @wowthiscrazy33 called it “tacky” and “vulgar,” while @OzarkMan1955 labeled it “poor taste at best” and a “slut look.” Lenny Dykstra, a former MLB player, offered a backhanded remark in 2024, calling her “annoyingAF” but noting the feature as a positive amid SI’s evolving content.
The digital edition, available online, coincides with Super Bowl preparations and continues SI Swimsuit’s tradition of blending sports and fashion.
