Patrick Mahomes showcased his off-season abs as he and wife Brittany Mahomes celebrated the Fourth of July on a boat in Miami with some friends.
On Sunday, July 6, Brittany shared a series of photos on Instagram, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the sun-filled festivities.
In one picture, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the Kansas City Current co-owner, both 29, could be seen posing side-by-side as they stood on the deck of the boat in their swimsuits with the Miami skyline behind them.
In a nod to the patriotic holiday, Brittany wore a blue one-piece suit with lacing on the sides, topped with a sheer white button-down shirt featuring a red and blue star print. Patrick, who was shirtless, showed off his physique in dark blue swim shorts and a pair of red sunglasses.
In another shot, the athlete kisses his wife on the head, and an additional photo — shared on Instagram by Brittany’s friend Cassidy Greinert — shows Patrick standing front and center with his wife and several other couples.

In yet another snap included in Brittany’s carousel, the mom of three and several of her friends sport red-and-white “1995” hats, seemingly referring to the year they were born.
“Red, White & Y’all 🤍❤️💙,” Brittany captioned her Instagram post, adding on her Instagram Stories: “Had the best time with my peeps.”
Patrick has been candid about his physical fitness throughout his career, even joking about having a “dad bod” in the past.
Last year, the quarterback reacted to a still from the series Inside the NFL from the Chiefs’ locker room celebrations after their AFC Championship win. The image showed a shirtless Patrick giving his teammates a pep talk after they secured their spot in the upcoming Super Bowl.
“Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!?” Patrick wrote in a post on X, adding three laughing emojis and the hashtag, “#DadBodSzn.”
Quoting his own post on the app, he added, “Like I got kids!!!”
“I definitely have the dad bod a little bit…” he later admitted in a cover story for the 2024 TIME100 Most Influential People list. “I’ll also say, I have a great body for a quarterback.”
He further explained, “You’ve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take.”
Patrick’s trainer Bobby Stroupe also previously spoke to PEOPLE about the jokes surrounding the Super Bowl champ’s “dad bod,” but said at the time that the NFL star was in perfect shape for his position.
“I’ll be the first to tell you that I think an NFL quarterback should have at least 14% body fat,” Stroupe said. “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. We’ve got to find that fine line of performance and health. And the aesthetic part is a different conversation,” the trainer continued. “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. That is a core belief that I do have for him.”
