Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, alongside his wife, Brittany Mahomes, and their two children, is making the most of a well-deserved break in Europe. While teammate Travis Kelce has been grabbing headlines for his time in Europe supporting his girlfriend, superstar singer Taylor Swift, Mahomes has also been on a memorable European adventure with his family.
A European Sojourn
The Mahomes family began their journey in Portugal, savoring the rich culture and beautiful landscapes. From there, they ventured into Spain, immersing themselves in the vibrant life and history of the Iberian Peninsula. Their European travels then took them to the stunning vistas of Switzerland. In a touching and relatable moment, Mahomes was seen hiking through the picturesque Swiss trails, carrying his daughter, Sterling, and son, Bronze, in a hiking backpack—though not at the same time.
Reflecting on Switzerland’s breathtaking beauty, Mahomes shared, “Switzerland is one of the most breathtaking places on earth. Everywhere you turn is absolutely gorgeous. The whole country feels like a storybook. The people were kind. I’d travel back here in a heartbeat.”
London Calling
The next stop for the Mahomes family was London, where they arrived just in time to attend a Morgan Wallen concert on Thursday. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Patrick Mahomes has a jam-packed schedule ahead, as he plans to attend two major sporting events in England.
In a podcast recorded last month with Rob Riggle, Mahomes revealed, “Before COVID happened, we were supposed to go to Europe, so this is the summer I go to Europe with Brittany and the kids. We’re going to spend about 3 1/2 weeks over there. I’ve had to knock out commercials all up until this point, so I’m getting them all done right before the end of minicamp and kind of getting a free three weeks to go over to Europe. We’re gonna bounce around, I’m gonna go to Wimbledon. We’re going to the British Grand Prix.”
Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix
Mahomes’ European vacation coincides with some of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. The British Grand Prix is set for Sunday, promising an adrenaline-filled day at Silverstone Circuit. Meanwhile, Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament, is already underway. Mahomes and his wife Brittany were spotted enjoying the action at the All England Club on Friday.
A Trip Long Overdue
This European trip is particularly special for Mahomes, who had planned it before the pandemic struck. “That trip was planned right before COVID and then I had back-to-back kids, so I haven’t got to get back over there. And now’s the time to go,” Mahomes explained.
With a blend of family bonding, cultural exploration, and witnessing world-class sports, Patrick Mahomes’ European summer promises to be unforgettable. As fans eagerly watch his journey, both on and off the field, Mahomes continues to demonstrate why he’s not just a superstar athlete but also a dedicated family man making the most of life’s precious moments.
