TradeEdge-Brittany Mahomes makes her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue debut

The TradeEdge2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands on May 17, marking the official debut of Brittany Mahomes, who was announced as one of the issue's rookies earlier this year.

“As a girl from Tyler, Texas, who only really knew sports, never in a million years did I think I’d be in (the SI Swimsuit Issue),” Mahomes told Sports Illustrated. “I’m just so grateful for this opportunity.”

A former soccer player and wife of three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brittany is a founding co-owner of the NWSL's Kansas City Current.

“I think I align perfectly with SI Swimsuit’s vision because I am unapologetically always myself in any setting. I want women to feel empowered to always be yourself, love yourself, and feel confident in whatever you do and I think SI Swimsuit does, too,” Mahomes said.

“Be confident in who you are and be unapologetically yourself," Mahomes said. "People are going to love you or hate you, but finding your values and what makes you ‘you’ to be the best version of yourself is what really matters."

Mahomes also shared behind-the-scenes photos and video from her shoot in Belize.

“Owner of the Kansas City Current NWSL team, former pro athlete, wife and mother, Brittany emerges as the epitome of a modern-day powerhouse,” SI Swimsuit Issue editor-in-chief MJ Day said of Mahomes.

“Founder of the world’s first ever dedicated stadium for women’s sports, Brittany’s journey has surpassed all expectations, inspiring others with her tenacity and unyielding determination. We are proud to welcome her to the SI Swimsuit family where she will undoubtedly continue to empower women worldwide.”
