“Mr. & Mrs. Mahomes 🤍,” Mahomes and Matthews each captioned their respective shots.
The happy couple had teased their nuptials to fans on Instagram all week as they enjoyed fun in the sun with their daughter and wedding party.
Matthews and Mahomes' long-awaited day came over a year after the Chiefs quarterback — who led the team to a Super Bowl LIV victory — popped the question on his now-wife’s 25th birthday on Sept. 1, 2020.
“My heart is so full! I love this man so incredibly much and today was so so special!,” Matthews, a former pro soccer player, wrote on Instagram at the time. “Couldn’t imagine this day being any more perfect.”
The couple met while attending Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. According toYahoo! Sports, the two have been dating since the 10th grade.

After the proposal, Mahomes admitted he felt butterflies leading up to the big moment. In fact, he said he felt more nervous about asking Matthews to marry him than he did playing in his first Super Bowl.
“Probably proposing, I would say,” the NFL star toldKCSP 610 Sports Radiowhen asked to compare the two moments. “You don’t think it’s going to be nerve-racking when you’ve been with someone for so long, but before you get on that knee, man, your heart’s racing. I promise you that.”
Since Mahomes secured the Super Bowl win in February 2020, things have only looked up for the longtime couple.
