Hello and welcome to everyone who is suddenly invested in football thanks to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: This is a safe space where your inability to understand even the most basic sports things is welcome...which should be apparent by our use of the term "sports things."
You may have noticed Taylor has been spending a lot of time with Brittany Mahomes (formerly known as Brittany Matthews), the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. And it turns out, they are the cutest couple ever? Again, if you already know this then move along, but if not, please join us on this delightful timeline journey—starting with when Brittany and Patrick were high school sweethearts. TRULY this is something out of a Nicholas Sparks movie.

~2012
Patrick and Brittany meet in high school, are friends at first, and then start dating. What follows is a series of photos so cute, it's shocking no one has made a slideshow of them set to “I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden.
If you want details on how exactly they got together, here is Brittany describing it (watch the video below):
“He brought this little Valentine’s gift for me at lunch one day. It was like a heart-like card and said, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’, and like a rose or something. And he just brought it to me as a funny joke, but I thought it was the cutest thing in the world. Everyone in the cafeteria started chanting like, ‘Kiss her, kiss her’ to him and I was like, ‘I’m doing this’ and then from then on, I think that’s where I just kind of started getting a crush on him. Then boom, we just fell in love.”
