One way Brittany Mahomes copes with all the negative attention is by putting less of herself out there. “Unfortunately, the less I share, the less I have to deal with horrible people,” she told fans in an August Q&A on Instagram (via TMZ Sports). The step back on social media could also be prompted by the birth of the couple’s youngest, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III. For example, Brittany went on to explain that she won’t share a tour of their house, because the family’s “privacy and safety” is the highest priority.

In the same Instagram Q&A (via People), Brittany also told fans that she’s learned to tune out all the noise. “It used to, yes,” she responded to a fan who asked if she was “bothered” by people’s negativity. But not anymore. I could give two s***s about people’s opinion of me that don’t even know me.” That said, it’s been a learning experience for Brittany, who was thrust abruptly into the spotlight due to her husband, Patrick Mahomes’ success. “I was not prepared for this,” she shared in an episode of Netflix’s 2023 docu-series “Quarterback” (via CafeMom). “And at such a young age. We were in love and I loved him with all of my heart. But, you know, I didn’t expect it to skyrocket this soon, and us kind of just being thrown into the fire like this.”
