Skip Bayless’s wife, Ernestine Sclafani Bayless, has caused a stir after saying that Brittany Mahomes takes too much attention away from her husband, Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.In a video posted Friday on X by Skip Bayless, Ernestine said that people focus more on NFL players’ wives and partners than on the football games.“And then we go into the Mahomes thing with the wife, and it’s like, this is bigger than football. It really is, now the focus is more on them, as opposed to football,” she said referring to Brittany Mahomes’ public presence.The comments came while she was talking with her husband, Skip. He mentioned Taylor Swift and her return on the “New Heights” podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, noting the significant role she plays in NFL discussions. Ernestine took the point further and added her thoughts.“I don’t know why this keeps going,” Mrs. Bayless added. "Why does it have to become so overblown? It’s not as though she’s the first celebrity dating an athlete.”Brittany Mahomes is extremely devoted to supporting Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. She was spotted at the Chiefs’ playoff game vs. the Houston Texans on January 18, 2025, just six days after giving birth to their third child, Golden Raye Mahomes.Patrick even joked about securing the No. 1 seed so they could have their baby during the bye week.Brittany Mahomes is a celebrity in her own right, apart from just being Patrick Mahomes' wife.
