Patrick Mahomes turns heads with Fourth of July party celebrations as Chiefs star shows off 'dad bod' again
Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany toasted the Fourth of July in style over the weekend as they partied with their close friends.
The NFL power couple embraced the red, white and blue as they set sail on a luxurious yacht with pals, including Miranda and Summitt Hogue and Brittany's longtime friend Mallory McDaniels.
Brittany was seen repping the stars and stripes in a blue one-piece swimsuit with a white shirt decorated with blue stars draped over her shoulders. The mother-of-three topped off the look with a red and white cap.
Meanwhile, her NFL beau opted to go shirtless in matching blue trunks, showing off his famous 'dad bod'.
In a video shared to Instagram, the couple were captured posing for photos on the top deck. Brittany gazed up at her husband with a comical pout, while the quarterback flexed his muscles.
Following last year's Super Bowl victory, the Kansas City Chiefs star went viral for his physique among NFL fans during the playoffs in January 2024.
He made waves yet again after he was pictured sunning himself on an offseason vacation in Mexico and again when he arrived for OTAs ahead of the 2024 season.
And yet again, many fans on social media highlighted Mahomes's 'dad bod' on display in the yacht video.
However, others were kinder, noting that the signal caller appeared fitter than last offseason as he gears up for the looming 2025 season, in which he'll seek revenge for the Chiefs' crushing Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mahomes' trainer Bobby Stroupe previously defended the former MVP's figure, insisting it was ideal for his style of play.
'I'll be the first to tell you that I think an NFL quarterback should have at least 14% body fat,' Stroupe told People last September. 'It's not from an unhealthy standpoint, but from a force absorption standpoint. You have to be able to take contact.'
'We know there's just not a lot of quarterbacks in the Hall of Fame that have a six-pack and there's a reason for that,' he explained. 'We've got to find that fine line of performance and health. And the aesthetic part is a different conversation.'
'I don't need him to look like a model because the way he chooses to play requires a certain type of physicality, and that physicality needs more body fat,' Stroupe added. 'That is a core belief that I do have for him.'
Last year, the Mahomeses celebrated the Fourth of July with friend and Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce, ironically in London.
Kelce and Mahomes enjoyed a round of golf in London to toast the United States' Independence Day before traveling to Amsterdam, where the trio watched the tight end's girlfriend Taylor Swift perform her Eras Tour show.
Just one week later, the couple announced that they were expecting their third child together.
In a heartwarming video on Instagram, Brittany revealed she was pregnant again after showing off her baby scans alongside Patrick and their first two children; daughter Sterling Skye, three, and son Patrick 'Bronze' Lavon Mahomes III, two.
'Round three, here we come,' the Kansas City Chiefs WAG captioned the video.
