And so weeks after Patrick was selected 10th in the 2017 NFL draft, cutting his college career a year short, Brittany signed a contract of her own with Iceleand’s UMF Afturelding/Fram (“I could never pass up such an amazing experience to go do what I love,” she explained), leading local station KLTV to dub the then-21-year-olds “the power couple of East Texas.”
And after a year navigating 3,000-plus miles worth of long distance that saw Brittany win a championship and Patrick secure his spot as the Chiefs’ starting QB, they decided to stake their claim in western Missouri.
Joining Patrick in his Kansas City digs, Brittany made use of her kinesiology degree, founding at-home workout brand Brittany Lynne Fitness. Explaining her transition away from professional sports, she said on her site, “By the end of my first season, I truly began to fall in love with being in the gym more than being on the soccer field. Playing sports my whole life got me into fitness and playing in college taught me about strength training, wellness and maintaining peak fitness to perform at an elite level.”
