Essentials Inside The Story

  • Chiefs have been eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in a decade
  • Oladokun has spent most of his career on the Chiefs' practice squad
  • Chris Oladokun was a 2022 seventh-round pick by the Steelers

With injuries sidelining both Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew, the spotlight has unexpectedly swung to third-string QB Chris Oladokun. As he steps up for Kansas City, fan curiosity has exploded, with one question leading the charge: Who is the woman appearing on his Instagram?

Who is Chris Oladokun’s girlfriend?

Unlike star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Chris Oladokun prefers to keep his love life under wraps. There is no public information or confirmed details about his girlfriend. However, Instagram sure has something to say.

At the Super Bowl LVIII celebration party, the 28-year-old had a special guest decked in a backless ivory gown with embellishments, complementing his maroon attire and those two gigantic Super Bowl rings. Oladokun shared a carousel of pictures from that night, flaunting his rings with Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Two images had the same woman with him, who is rumored to be his girlfriend, Briana Marie. 

Chris Oladokun will be starting in Week 16

Despite Oladokun’s efforts to keep his private life away from the limelight, it’s bound to be uncovered now that the reins of the Chiefs’ kingdom are in his hands. Backup Minshew started Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans. However, after his eight pass attempts, he left the field with a knee injury. Then came Oladokun, serving as primary backup to Minshew. 

He’s already making a splash. Even though he has thrown just one career pass since his rookie year of 2022, he connected on a solid 18-yard pass with wide receiver Hollywood Brown in the first half of Week 16. Perhaps, head coach Andy Reid’s confidence in Oladokun might prove justified, since he’s not expected to bring outside reinforcements.

When did Chris Oladokun join the Chiefs?

So, how did Chris Oladokun land in Kansas City? His NFL journey began in 2022 after the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the seventh round. Before he could even begin the season with them, he joined the Chiefs’ practice squad in August. Interestingly, he has been waived by the KC on multiple occasions, yet he remained put and didn’t join any other teams.

Before Week 16, he had appeared in one more game in 2024 against the Denver Broncos, where he threw for five rushing yards. With the Chiefs, he has two Super Bowl rings to his name as a member of their active roster. The silver lining? He’s not in a high-stakes game, freeing him to shine. It’s already looking good with him going 6-of-8 for 45 yards in the first half.
