Matthews recently took to Instagram to wish Mahomes a happy 24th birthday.
“He’s a unique talent,” Reich said, per The Kansas City Star. “I mean, he’s fun to watch. … I was watching a lot of Kansas City’s offense against them, and he made a couple throws that you just shake your head and you say, ‘How do you do that?’
Mahomes is not the only athlete in the relationship as Matthews is a former soccer player. Matthews was a standout college player at UT-Tyler before a brief professional stint in Iceland. While Matthews was still a student-athlete, Mahomes praised his girlfriend’s drive and athletic ability.
