Brittany Mahomeswill support the Kansas City Chiefs, rain or shine.

At the NFL 2024 season opener at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday, Sept. 5, spectators — including Mahomes, 29 — were asked to shelter in place due to a strong but brief storm that passed over the stadium.

As the storm rolled through, quarterbackPatrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, documented her and her daughter,Sterling Skye, 3, with Chiefs towels on their heads to protect themselves from the rain. In the video shared on her Instagram Stories, Brittany tells the camera, “We’re surviving,” as Sterling smiles softly at the camera.

At the kickoff game, Brittany, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child, wore a loose white t-shirt with a pair of cargo denim jeans that included the team’s colors, red and yellow, painted on the jeans' seams. Sterling wore an adorable red dress, with matching ruffled red socks. Her hair was in pigtails with pink bows.
