Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has been lauded by fellow NFL WAG Kelly Stafford for her stunning Sports Illustrated photoshoot.
Stafford, who is married to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, shared a lengthy Instagram post on Friday, in which she expressed her admiration for Mahomes and other women she looks up to.
She posted a photo of Mahomes posing in a swimsuit for the SI Swimsuit issue, along with a caption that read: "This woman right here is a force. She is beautiful, smart, strong, and confident. She is a wife, a mom, a businesswoman, and a role model. She is not afraid to speak her mind, stand up for what she believes in, and chase her dreams."
Stafford went on to praise Mahomes for using her platform to inspire and empower other women, and for not being ashamed of how she got it.
"She is married to one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but she is so much more than that. She is not defined by her husband's success, but rather by her own. She has worked hard to create her own brand, her own identity, and her own legacy. She has shown the world that you can be a supportive partner and a successful individual at the same time. She has shown the world that you don't have to choose between being a wife, a mom, or a career woman. You can be all of them and more."
Stafford also encouraged other women to follow Mahomes' example and to pursue their passions, regardless of what others may think or say.
"Don't be ashamed of how you received your platform, whether it's through your family, your partner, your talent, or your luck. Use it to make a positive impact, to spread love and kindness, to uplift and empower others. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, what you should or shouldn't wear, what you should or shouldn't say. Be yourself, be proud, be brave, be bold. Be like Brittany Mahomes."
