Fans of Brittany Mahomes have been left puzzled by her recent Instagram post about ‘health,’ which she shared alongside a series of bikini photos.
The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took to Instagram on Thursday to share four stunning shots from her recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot.
In the photos, Brittany flaunts her toned physique in a barely-there red bikini top paired with matching string bottoms. However, it was the caption accompanying the images that sparked confusion among her followers.
“Daily reminder to: Take care of your body. Your health is important,” she wrote. Brittany, who is currently expecting her third child, added, “And… currently look nothing like this.”

Many fans were quick to criticize what they perceived as an implication that thinness equates to health. One follower commented, “We love a strong, healthy Queen, but it’s super important to remember that this is not the normal. Most women do not look like this, nor have unlimited access to trainers, coaches, gyms, and supplements to look like this.” The commenter added, “So, let’s let Brittany show her love for herself, which is fine, while reminding all the other women out there that healthy comes in all shapes and sizes.”
Another fan echoed this sentiment, writing, “Daily reminder: you don’t have to look like this to be healthy!” A third follower added, “These pictures have nothing to do with being healthy,” while another simply stated, “We all want to be healthy… but this isn’t it!”
Despite the mixed reactions from fans, Brittany received a supportive comment from her husband, Patrick, who posted three heart-eye emojis in the comments section.
The couple, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new baby girl, shared their joyous news on social media last month. “Round three, here we come,” they wrote, accompanied by a sweet video. In the video, they proudly displayed a strip of sonogram images while cuddling with their daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and their 18-month-old son Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III.
As Brittany and Patrick prepare to welcome another member to their growing family, the discussion around body image and health continues to be a hot topic among her followers.
Brittany’s message, though intended to promote self-care, has sparked an important conversation about the diversity of healthy bodies and the pressures of maintaining a certain image.
