Brittany Mahomes made her own headline before Monday Night Football even kicked off.
The Kansas City Current co-owner used the eve of the game to unveil a new endorsement partnership, with influencer Dani Austin introducing Mahomes as a partner at Divi, the hair-growth brand built around Growth Care. Austin posted, “Two is better than one…,” and the announcement framed the new campaign as Divi’s debut in the hair-styling category.
That expansion brings a line of bond-building hairsprays designed to protect fragile hair follicles. The brand’s launch message read, “Here because we’ve been there💚 Growth Care™ for every step of your hair journey,” and Mahomes is set to promote the new products alongside her signature scalp-health serums.
The endorsement adds another layer to the business profile Mahomes has built away from her husband’s spotlight. She has carved out an estimated $15 million net worth, largely through ventures tied to her background in soccer.
Her biggest move remains her role as a founding co-owner of the Kansas City Current, which she launched in 2020 with Angie and Chris Long. That investment helped bring the world’s first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional team to life, and the franchise is now valued at $325 million.
On the field, Patrick Mahomes delivered a strong return after a nine-month injury rehabilitation process. He looked sharp as the Chiefs rolled over the Broncos, completing 15 of 27 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 27 yards and a touchdown on four carries, easing any concern about his mobile knee and showing he entered the season opener with no limitations.

Chiefs Are Suddenly Tied To A Steelers Trade Rumor Worth Watching
A contract extension has not come together yet for Joey Porter Jr., and his Week 1 absence because of a back injury only added another layer of uncertainty around the Steelers cornerback. Now his situation is drawing attention beyond Pittsburgh, with the Chiefs and Lions reportedly monitoring developments as the season gets underway.
For Kansas City, any whisper involving a young, high-upside defensive back is worth at least a look, especially this early in the year when teams are still taking stock of their depth and long-term needs. The reports remain speculative and nothing has been confirmed by either team, but Porters status is suddenly one of those league storylines that could linger if the contract talks stay stalled.

Travis Kelce Is Suddenly Tied To A Strange Off-Field Legal Case
A federal fraud case in Missouri has ended with a steep prison sentence for Sid Jawahar, who was convicted of running a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme. Among the victims named in the case was Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, a surprising footnote in a story that had nothing to do with football but still landed on the radar of Kansas City fans.
Jawahar pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges and was sentenced to 11 years in prison, with deportation expected after he serves that term. The court filing did not spell out Kelces specific involvement, leaving the Chiefs star tied to the case only as one of the people harmed by the scheme and not as a figure at its center. [Read more 🡒]
