Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, made headlines in September 2020 for more than just his Super Bowl LIV championship win.
On the same day he and his teammates received their championship rings, Mahomes surprised his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, with a stunning engagement ring, marking a monumental moment in their relationship after eight years together.
The proposal was a beautifully orchestrated event, happening during a celebration meant for Patrick’s own victory. Yet, in a heartwarming gesture, he turned the spotlight on his future wife.
Patrick shared the joyful news with fans on Instagram, captioning a photo of Brittany’s dazzling new ring with “Ring SZN.” Meanwhile, Brittany echoed the sentiment on X (formerly Twitter), expressing her gratitude, writing, “On a day that was meant to celebrate you, you turned it into celebrating us.”
But just how much did this breathtaking piece of jewelry set Patrick back?
Jewelry expert Shannon Delany-Ron told Us Weekly that Patrick likely spent between $100,000 and $150,000 for Brittany’s engagement ring. The showstopper features a center diamond estimated to be about 6 carats, perched on a split shank pavé setting—a timeless and elegant design. However, other experts placed the value of the ring even higher. Kathryn Money, another jewelry specialist, gave a loftier estimate, suggesting that the ring could be at least 8 carats, with a price range between $350,000 and $800,000 depending on the diamond’s quality and characteristics.
Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, further supported these estimates, noting that the diamond appears to be of radiant cut and likely of exceptional quality, given Mahomes’ status. At the time of the proposal, Patrick had just signed a record-breaking $503 million contract extension with the Chiefs, making him the highest-paid NFL player in history. Therefore, it’s no surprise that he would spare no expense for the love of his life.
Patrick Mahomes’ proposal was not just about the dazzling ring—it was about celebrating the couple’s journey together, which began in high school and blossomed into a life filled with love, support, and incredible milestones. And with a ring that shines as brightly as their future, it’s clear that Mahomes made a statement not just as a champion on the field but in his personal life as well.
