The latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has some wag to it.
That’s not a typo, but more specifically, the issue includes NFL WAGs. That’s the acronym for Wives and Girlfriends.
One of the new digital Sports Illustrated covers features Kansas City Current co-owner Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The others who got a cover are Claire Kittle (wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle); Haley Cavinder (fiancé of Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson); Ronika Love (wife of Packers quarterback Jordan Love); Normani (fiancé of Steelers receiver DK Metcalf); and Christen Goff (wife of Rams quarterback Jared Goff).
“I’m grouped with (these) amazing women who all are in this specific role of being a significant other to our other half that plays in the league,” Mahomes said on the Sports Illustrated website. “So just being with a group of inspiring, amazing women who share that same role and just getting to see all of our different viewpoints on life.”
The SI article notes that Mahomes is thrilled the term WAG has come to represent successful women who happen to be in a relationship with an athlete.
“There’s so many different women in this space and we’re all doing our own thing,” Mahomes told SI. “Being the significant other of an NFL player is an extremely hard and challenging role. And so every woman in this space, whether they’re chasing their own dreams or they’re their own entrepreneur or they’re a mother or they’re a leader or they’re a supporter, I think we all are doing super powerful things and super empowering things in this world.”
Mahomes, who is the mother of three children under the age of 5, has made her mark with the Current. In addition to being one of the best teams in the National Women’s Soccer League, the Current opened the first stadium dedicated to a women’s soccer team.
Mahomes is proud of her work with the Current.
“Being able to be involved in the sport, and really help elevate women’s sports, is something that I’m super passionate about,” Mahomes told SI. “And so getting involved in the KC Current and building a championship culture here and really setting the standard and the bar for women’s sports is super cool.
“So, just getting involved and getting more excitement around the NWSL and helping when I can with the platform that I have and just empowering female athletes in women’s soccer is something that I’m really excited about.”
Here is the cover featuring Mahomes, who also was in the 2024 SI swimsuit issue.
