Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, revealed Wednesday that she fractured her back.
Mahomes didn’t specify what caused this painful condition and kept the details surrounding the situation private, but she did share a few words of advice with her fans.
“Just a daily reminder,” she said in a selfie video posted to Instagram, “Once you have kids, please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if Mahomes required any medical intervention to fully recover from her fractured back. She didn’t mention how long she would have to take it easy to allow her body to fully recover. (RELATED: Britanny Mahomes Takes Spotlight In Skimpy Swimsuit For Sports Illustrated Photo Shoot)

Patrick has some time off after winning the Super Bowl, so it appears the family can allow Brittany to rest her body and allow her to heal.
