After Breaking Her Back, Brittany Mahomes Gives Health Advice as Patrick Mahomes’ Wife Urges Parents to “Be an Example” for Kids

“Back Poppin’!” That was the caption on fitness instructor Kirsty Rae’s Instagram story, flaunting Brittany Mahomes‘ recovery after her back injury. As a certified personal trainer and fitness entrepreneur herself, Patrick Mahomes‘ wife quickly got back into her fitness routine. Now, she has an important message for couples around the world who are navigating parenthood.

The retired American women’s soccer player, Brittany, took to her Instagram story to share a post preaching fitness in parents. The post is from a pharmacy doctor and a cardiovascular research scientist, Dr. James DiNicolantonio. A well-respected and internationally known scientist and an expert on health and nutrition, he wrote, “An unrecognized benefit of you being fit as a parent is that your kids will see fitness as something that’s normal.”

Well, then. Both Sterling Sky and Patrick Bronze Lavon III are in great hands. Their mama is a fitness freak, and their papa is an NFL star. What more could they ask for? Moreover, Brittany loves taking her kids to her workout sessions. Training them from a young age? Maybe not just yet—they are still toddlers, after all. However, the post she shared on her IG story highlights how kids imitate their parents and want to exercise with them.

This must have got you thinking of the phrase “practice what you preach.” Well, Brittany is a practitioner first. You can find her posting pictures of herself solo, with her QB hubby, or with her kids on her Instagram feed. But it is the reels that have got the real deal. In videos from when she was pregnant with Bronze Lavon III, you can see her working out with Sky. One of the captions reads, “Gym dates with my girl.” Now, she aims to spread the word of fitness by sharing Dr. James’ post, which aligns with her personal experiences.

Meanwhile, Brittany has completely recovered from her fractured back, as confirmed via multiple Instagram stories. Not just that, she’s living life with her husband Patrick and the kids.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes take Europe by storm

The NFL 2023 season for the Mahomes family ended in February, with the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl and Patrick being named the MVP of Super Bowl LVIII. However, their vacation plans had to be postponed due to an unfortunate back fracture Brittany sustained in March. She confirmed this via an Instagram story that read, “Just a daily reminder: Once you have kids, please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously. From: A girl with a fractured back.”

Later she told E! News that her back is “no longer a problem.” Now, Brittany is busy exploring Europe with her pro-football player husband and their two kids. June has been an eventful month for them, from celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 2024 ring ceremony to globetrotting across Europe.

With their “Vacay” mode on, the Mahomes family is traveling like Patrick rushes yards on the gridiron. All in a flash! In two weeks, Brittany has posted images from Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland. And, following her IG story on “parental fitness,” she has uploaded pictures of her two kids with the Tower Bridge and The Shards in the background. She also tagged Patrick in one of the images, suggesting that we might soon see a “Thank you, UK” captioned carousel from Brittany as the Mahomes tick off yet another European country from their checklist.

Back injury? Cured. Sharing lessons from her experience? Done. And now, Brittany is vacationing before the season commences. This is what leading by example looks like.
