Brittany Mahomes has taken her role as Divi haircare brand’s official NFL season partner to the next level with a thoughtful personal gesture. Since announcing her collaboration with the Dallas-based scalp and hair wellness company in September 2025, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been showcasing the brand’s products from her game-day glam routines to at-home self-care rituals.

As part of this partnership, Divi has been leveraging Brittany’s influence during a cultural moment that’s redefining NFL “WAGs,” with female viewership surging by 63% during Chiefs games. Now, Brittany has extended the partnership beyond business by sending Divi hair products to FOX Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson.

Thompson shared the package on Instagram, posting a photo of the “big gesture” alongside a personalized note from Brittany that read: “I wanted you to have a little something to treat yourself. Hope you love it as much as I do! Here’s to good hair days, always. xo, Brittany.” The bundle also included a branded tote, keychain, and discount code for fans. Thompson responded with a heartfelt message: “Thank you @brittanylynne! Such a sweet gift and since I’m on a hair journey, this is perfect!! Not to mention the cute tote and keychain! So sweet spreading Divi love around here.”

Charissa Thompson, who hosts FOX’s “NFL Kickoff” and Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football,” has been refreshingly candid about her hair struggles, famously stating in September 2024 that she doesn’t “brush my hair anymore” and is “over it”. She made headlines when she dyed her blonde hair black to combat what she called “the Barbie thing.” This decision was met with harsh criticism from sports media, with Deadspin publishing an article titled “Charissa Thompson Continues Down Suicidal Path to Frumpyville.”

Charissa Thompson strong ties to the Mahomes circle

Brittany captioned the post: “Funday Sunday🤍 -pony made it till halftime🤣 anyone else always take their hair out the second they get the urge?”. Charissa Thompson responded to Brittany’s post with a five-word message that perfectly captured the shared experience: “Been there, hair in purse ✅.” This comment demonstrated Thompson’s relatability and understanding of the challenges women face with maintaining fancy hairstyles.

Thompson’s strongest connection to the Mahomes family comes through her friendship with Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes’ teammate on the Chiefs.

Thompson and her co-host Erin Andrews famously advocated for Kelce to pursue a relationship with Taylor Swift on their “Calm Down” podcast in August 2023. When Kelce and Swift began dating, he publicly thanked Thompson and Andrews, saying, “I owe you big time!”

This connection has given Thompson access to the Chiefs’ inner circle, and she has maintained friendships with various players and their families.
