Patrick Mahomes was not in Greece when teammate George Karlaftis married longtime partner Kaia Harris this past weekend, but the Chiefs quarterback still made his presence felt. Shortly after Karlaftis and Harris shared photos from their May 9 ceremony at the One&Only Aesthesis resort, Mahomes jumped into the comments with a simple message: “Congrats!!!! ❤️”. The absence raised questions among fans, especially with several Chiefs stars making the trip overseas. But Mahomes’ offseason priorities remain centered on rehab, recovery, and a growing commitment to Kansas City’s expanding sports landscape.
Why is Patrick Mahomes spending his offseason around Kansas City instead of traveling?
Patrick Mahomes stayed in the United States while continuing rehab work on the knee injury that cut short his 2025 season. The quarterback tore both his ACL and LCL during a December loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, an injury that immediately changed the tone of Kansas City’s offseason plans.

While teammates including
Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelce attended the wedding celebrations in Greece, Mahomes spent Mother’s Day weekend at CPKC Stadium with wife Brittany Mahomes and their children supporting the Kansas City Current.
The timing mattered. Kansas City Current dominated Chicago Stars FC in a 3-0 win, powered by a first-half hat trick from Temwa Chawinga.
The Current later posted photos of the Mahomes family at the stadium with the caption, “Another Mahomes Mother’s Day 🥹 Co-owners @brittanylynne & @patrickmahomes enjoying a dub at home 🥰.”
That appearance was more than a family outing. Mahomes and Brittany have steadily expanded their footprint in women’s sports since joining the Current ownership group in 2020. Their involvement grew even larger after reports tied the couple to a $275 million investment connected to a new professional women’s sports league last year. The women's soccer team, which Patrick and Brittany, 30, are both co-owners of, is now valued at a sky-high $325 million, according to Forbes.

Brittany’s own soccer background continues to shape that commitment. Before becoming one of the most recognizable advocates for the National Women’s Soccer League, she played professionally in Iceland. Mahomes has increasingly leaned into that shared vision with her, even while balancing the demands of his NFL recovery.
Inside the Chiefs organization, optimism around Mahomes’ rehab has only grown. General manager Brett Veach recently described the quarterback as “way ahead of schedule,” fueling expectations that Mahomes will be ready when Kansas City opens the 2026 season Sept. 14 against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football.”
For now, Patrick Mahomes appears focused on keeping his world small. Rehab sessions, family time, and long-term investments in Kansas City are taking priority over offseason headlines abroad.
