Jemma Reekie is a sprinter from Great Britain who competed in the women’s 800m race on Sunday. However, many people noticed something very particular about her during the event.
She looks eerily similar to the wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brittnay Mahomes.
Once the internet noticed the resemblance, it was just a matter of time before the jokes started rolling in.

In the 2020 Paris Olympics, Reemkie again competed in the 800m race but unfortunately finished in fourth place and went home without winning a medal.
However, things looked like they could have changed here in 2024, as she finished first in her heat with a time of two minutes and advanced to the repechage round. From there, though, she was eliminated and again missed out on a medal in the 800m race.
Brittany and Patrick Mahomes Expecting Third Child
It was recently announced that Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are expecting their third child together.
The couple, who have been together since high school, already have a three-year-old daughter named Sterling Skye and a son named Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon, who turns two years old later this year.
The announcement was originally made on Brittany’s Instagram, which showed off the new ultrasounds with a caption that read, “Round three, here we come.”
