Unpacking the Complicated Bond Between Patrick Mahomes and His Controversial Brother

Being the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes is a badge of honor for Jackson Mahomes, who has carved out his niche on TikTok. Despite their different paths, Jackson and Patrick maintain a strong sibling connection. In a YouTube video from May 2020, Jackson noted, “It’s just like being related to anybody else.”

Even with Jackson’s recent controversies, including an arrest, it hasn’t affected their close relationship. “He’s a cool person, like we’re super close,” Jackson emphasized in the same YouTube video. Their bond is evident in their joint appearances, both in commercials and supporting each other personally and professionally.

On March 12, 2022, when Patrick Mahomes married Brittany, Jackson played a pivotal role as best man, showcasing their close relationship.

Shortly after the wedding, Jackson shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, thanking Patrick and Brittany for including him in their special day. He expressed his deep gratitude and affection, stating, “Forever grateful and honored to stand up there by you guys! Love you.”

Jackson has also formed a close friendship with Brittany. They often attend events together and post about their experiences on social media. “Me and Brittany are SO close,” he said in a previous YouTube video. He even referred to her as his “best friend.”

Patrick Mahomes has been featured in numerous State Farm ads since 2019. Notably, a commercial from 2020 included Jackson, showcasing their familial connection in a humorous “Like a good neighbor” skit.

In November 2020, Jackson teased the ad on Instagram, hinting at their roles in the commercial, where they appeared in matching hairstyles while at a barbershop.

The final ad featured Patrick thanking Jake from State Farm for a haircut deal, only for Jake to reveal that the rate is available to everyone. The camera then focuses on Jackson and others who sport similar hairstyles, leading to the punchline that anyone can snag a “Patrick price.”

Jackson Mahomes, known for stirring up controversies, often supports his brother, NFL player Patrick Mahomes. However, there have been times when his behavior has raised eyebrows. A notable incident took place during a Chiefs game in 2021 where Jackson was filmed pouring water on an opposing team fan.

This footage quickly gained traction on X, previously Twitter, placing Jackson, then 21, in an unfavorable light. When questioned about it in a Chiefs press conference, Patrick explained that Jackson, along with his fiancée, was provoked by the fan, leading to Jackson’s regrettable response. Patrick noted hidden exchanges during the incident, stating, “There were things said to him, and Brittany, that you don’t see kind of on the clip. He usually does well not to react.” He also expressed optimism that Jackson would learn from this experience. Unfortunately, just a month later, Jackson faced backlash again for dancing on a memorial to late NFL player Sean Taylor.

In early 2023, Jackson Mahomes was involved in a troubling incident that led to allegations of assault. At Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas, he reportedly pushed a waiter and then allegedly made unwanted advances toward the restaurant’s owner, leading to charges of aggravated sexual battery. He was arrested in May 2023 but released shortly after on a $100,000 bond.

While Patrick showed his support during this difficult time, he was resolute about keeping details of the arrest private. “It’s a personal matter, and I’d prefer to keep it to myself,” he stated at a press conference on May 24, 2023 (via US Weekly). Nearly a year later, in January 2024, three felony charges against Jackson were dismissed, but he received six months of probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of battery.

Despite their close relationship, a video that surfaced in February 2024 sparked rumors about Jackson and Brittany Mahomes. While attending a Future concert in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl, Brittany appeared unfazed when she and Jackson were separated into different sections, which caught fans’ attention.

The video shows Brittany conversing with a security guard in the VIP area while Jackson struggled to gain access. In a tense moment, he was seen negotiating with the guard without success. Meanwhile, Brittany was seen returning to her carefree dancing, completely ignoring the awkwardness. Despite the uncomfortable incident, their bond seemed unaffected, as they were later spotted together at the Super Bowl.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ journey to Super Bowl LIX ignited excitement among fans, including Jackson Mahomes, who quickly expressed his enthusiasm on social media. He released a celebratory video, captioning it, “Super Bowl hates to see us coming,” although many viewers found it to be more cringe-worthy than exciting.

In the video, set to Young Money’s 2009 hit “Bed Rock,” Jackson lip-syncs Nicki Minaj’s part while in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. The clip cuts to him making playful faces as he poses for the camera. Despite mixed reactions and critique from viewers about his expressions, Jackson’s excitement remained unshaken as he geared up to support his brother during the game.
