Patrick Mahomes’ fiancée Brittany Matthews responded to an Instagram troll who suggested she doesn’t have a career because of her NFL WAG status.

The 26-year-old fitness influencer is a former collegiate and pro soccer player. She played at UT Tyler before a brief stint with the Icelandic pro team UMF Afturelding.

Fans in the comments quickly came to Matthews’ defense, and highlighted her athletic resume. Some supporters pointed out her part-owner status of KC NWSL, while others cited her fitness videos she often shares on social media.
