Brittany Mahomes Supports Jordan Devey Family After Death

Brittany Mahomes supported Linsey Devey, the wife of former Kansas City Chiefs guard Jordan Devey, after Linsey shared her grief about his death and raising their four children. Linsey posted her message on October 2 after Jordan died on July 21, 2026, at age 38.

According to Linsey Devey's post, she described the challenge of helping her children understand their father's death while continuing as a single mother. The children are 11, 8, 4, and 2 years old.

"There are so many pictures where my eyes are closed. When I look at them, I see a mom praying, asking Heavenly Father for the strength to keep going, keep loving, and keep showing up for my babies," said Linsey Devey.

Linsey also addressed how she explained mental illness to her children while they tried to understand their father's absence. Her message included reflections on separating his illness from the person they knew.

"That Dad's broken brain was not the same thing as Dad's heart," said Linsey Devey.

Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, responded to Linsey's post with a message of support. Her comment joined other public expressions of encouragement for the Devey family.

"Praying so hard for you and your family! You are strong, you can do this!" said Brittany Mahomes.

According to a GoFundMe set up by Jordan Devey's family, the former NFL offensive lineman died by suicide. The family also raised concerns about possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, although the condition could not be diagnosed in his case.

"took his own life," said the GoFundMe set up by Jordan Devey's family.

Jordan Devey played seven NFL seasons and appeared in 44 games with 21 starts, according to his career records. He played for the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland or Las Vegas Raiders, and Buffalo Bills.

Linsey later shared another message about the impact of Jordan's death on their family. She wrote about remembering him while marking what would have been a significant date in their relationship.

"Today would have been our 15th year anniversary," said Linsey Devey.
