Rae added a message over the video that reflected on Mahomes’s health journey, writing, “A year and a half ago rehabbing a broken back meant severe pain and limited movement. Now, almost a year postpartum and progressively getting stronger every week. Proof that the body is capable of incredible things when you meet it with patience and intentional training. So proud of you, @brittanylynne.”

In March 2024, Mahomes revealed to her 2 million Instagram followers that she had fractured her spine.

“Just a daily reminder: Once you have kids, take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously,” she wrote in the post. “From: A girl with a fractured back.”

Mahomes, a former professional soccer player and the current co-owner of the Kansas City Current women’s soccer team, has not confirmed a direct link between childbirth and her back injury. However, research suggests an increased risk of fracture in women who develop pregnancy-associated spinal osteoporosis, a rare but debilitating condition that causes bone density loss.

While his wife has made significant progress on her healing journey, Patrick Mahomes is still recovering from his own injury. The quarterback twisted his leg during a home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Dec. 14, 2025, with an MRI later confirming a torn ACL.
