Brittany Mahomes is part of the club of wives of NFL quarterbacks who support Donald Trump.
Anna Tagovailoa, wife of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, posted a story on her Instagram on Wednesday praising former President Trump's preemptive response to Hurricane Milton.
She reposted a video by conservative influencer Benny Johnson that showed the former president entertaining 275 Florida Power and Light linemen at one of Trump's resorts in Miami. I showed it. President Trump took in the workers free of charge as a safe haven to wait out the hurricane before it made landfall in the northern Florida area.
Tagovailoa's post follows a trend set by Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who began showing support for Trump in mid-August. Mahomes “liked” President Trump's policy platform post on Aug. 13, and a few weeks later added the comment “TRUMP-VANCE 2024” to his own Instagram post.

Mahomes was hit with a wave of hate comments after screenshots of President Trump's policy platform similar to hers circulated on social media, and he posted multiple posts to speak out against the hate he was receiving. So much so that I had to.
While Tagovailoa's post has received some praise, there have also been some negative comments directed at her and her husband, Tua Tagovailoa.
Many of the negative comments referenced Tua's concussion suffered in Week 2 of the season against the Buffalo Bills. This was the quarterback's third concussion in his professional career, leading to widespread concerns about his long-term brain health and NFL future.
“Looks like she has a concussion too,” one X user replied.
Another user wrote: “Her brain is as mush as her husband's.”
Tagovailoa suffered two concussions during the 2022 season.
Tua Tagovailoa's retirement could cost Dolphins $124 million after relying on jiu-jitsu to end concussion

Tagovailoa was placed on injured reserve on September 17th due to a recent concussion. The concussion prompted fans, fellow professional athletes and media commentators to call for the quarterback to retire from football due to concerns about CTE and further brain damage. The NFL has not considered when or if the quarterback will return.
Dolphis said head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters during the team's bye week that Tagovailoa told reporters this week that the quarterback had not yet cleared concussion protocol. He reportedly told reporters that he planned to meet with him. Asked if the team had any advice to keep Tagovailoa out longer after he was cleared to return, McDaniel said he had “not received any negative feedback” from experts.
Tua and Anna reportedly met while attending the University of Alabama and secretly married in July 2022. Since Tua joined the NFL, the two have chosen to keep their relationship private from the media. The couple has two children, a son, Ace, was born in August 2022, and a daughter, Maisie, was born in 2023.
Anna (real name Anna Gore, born 1999) is from North Carolina. She attended St. Gertrude High School, a private Catholic school in Virginia, and then attended college in Alabama with Tua.

Tua, on the other hand, was born and raised in Hawaii and attended the St. Louis School, a private Catholic school in Honolulu.
Tua met President Trump in person when he visited the White House with the Alabama Crimson Tide after winning the College Football Playoff national championship in 2018.
