The Kansas City Chiefs are making headlines for all the wrong reasons after an explosive report claimed quarterback Patrick Mahomes has ended his seven-year marriage to Brittany Matthews following a stunning paternity revelation. According to the report, DNA results allegedly show Mahomes is not the biological father of their children — and that his longtime teammate and close friend, Travis Kelce, is.
The story, first published on April 24, 2025, cites unnamed sources who claim Mahomes began harboring doubts earlier this year after persistent rumors began to circulate. Those suspicions reportedly led the NFL superstar to quietly request a private paternity test. The alleged results, confirmed by a private lab, pointed to a bombshell conclusion: the children he had raised as his own were biologically fathered by Kelce.
“This is beyond betrayal,” a source close to Mahomes told reporters. “Patrick and Travis have been like brothers. To find out something like this — it’s devastating.”
Neither Mahomes, Brittany, nor Kelce has issued an official statement, but the silence has only fueled speculation. Observers have noted Brittany’s sudden absence from social media, including the removal of several family photos. Meanwhile, Kelce was reportedly missing from a recent team workout, though the Kansas City Chiefs have not confirmed whether his absence was connected to the controversy.
The alleged scandal has triggered a firestorm on social media, with hashtags such as #MahomesDivorce, #KelceDrama, and #NFLScandal dominating trends on Twitter and TikTok. Fans have expressed shock, sadness, and disbelief — with many struggling to reconcile the claims with the public image of the two NFL stars.
Legal experts say the potential fallout could be enormous. Mahomes and Brittany share multiple business ventures, including fitness brands and endorsements, making the divorce potentially complicated even without the alleged paternity twist. Should the claims be true, custody discussions could become highly public and contentious, drawing even more attention to the already sensational story.
Inside the Chiefs organization, the matter is reportedly being monitored closely, though no official team comment has been made. While personal issues are generally kept separate from on-field matters, the reported fracture between two of the team’s biggest stars could have implications for locker room chemistry and overall morale.
The friendship between Mahomes and Kelce has long been one of the NFL’s most celebrated bonds, often showcased in interviews, commercials, and social media posts. If this story proves true, it would mark not only the end of a marriage but also the collapse of one of football’s most visible partnerships.
For now, the truth remains unconfirmed by those directly involved. The only certainty is that this story — and the speculation surrounding it — is far from over. Chiefs Kingdom, and much of the sports world, will be watching closely to see what happens next.
