Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is getting a new ring -- a wedding ring!

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Brittany Matthews on Tuesday.

Mahomes, 24, proposed to his high school sweetheart right after his team finally received their Super Bowl LIV rings at Arrowhead Stadium. Meaning, when he received his ring, he made sure Matthews had one to match.

The personal trainer was actually the one to reveal exactly how her now-fiancé outdid his own ring ceremony. In a series of Instagram stories, the 25-year-old documented moments from the special day.

The quarterback apparently led her to one of the stadium's sky boxes, which he had decked out from floor to ceiling with white flowers -- including a flurry of petals to cover the ground -- and a light up sign that asked "Will you marry me."

Brittany Matthews posted a photo in an Instagram story of the flowers arranged in an Arrowhead Stadium suite after Patrick Mahomes proposed, Sept. 1, 2020.
