Jackson Mahomes is known for making headlines and gained even more notoriety in October 2023 when he was spotted hanging Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes in a private suite at his brother Patrick Mahomes’ football game.
After he was spotted giving the “Cruel Summer” artist a high five in the stands, fans naturally became curious about who Jackson is.
Jackson is a social media influencer. He has more than one million followers on TikTok and more than 246,000 followers on Instagram. Additionally, Jackson has a YouTube channel with more than 24,000 subscribers.
A lot of Jackson’s content features him attending Chiefs games and cheering on his brother. Whether he’s showing off his game day outfits, celebrating a team win or hanging out on the field, he’s often giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be in Patrick’s inner circle.
Jackson has a college degree from the University of Missouri Kansas City. He graduated in 2022 with a degree in marketing.
“If I had a dream job it’d be really to work in the marketing industry and I would love to connect influencers with brands,” he previously explained in a YouTube video. Jackson has partnered with various brands himself for social media promotions.
After gaining notoriety on social media, Jackson released his own line of merchandise, which he called “Jackson from TikTok,” in 2020. “Growing up, in everything I did, it was always like, ‘Oh, look, it’s Patrick Mahomes’ brother,’” Jackson explained.
“But, you know, ‘Jackson from TikTok’ means a lot to me because it was the first time in my life that I was known not just as ‘Patrick Mahomes’ brother,’ but as ‘Jackson from TikTok.’”
Jackson was arrested and charged with three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery and one misdemeanor count of battery in May 2023 following an alleged incident at a restaurant in Kansas three months prior.
The restaurant owner – with two servers weighing in as witnesses – accused Jackson of forcibly trying to kiss her after he allegedly shoved a male waiter. Jackson was released on a $100,000 bond and pleaded not guilty. He was meant to have a preliminary hearing in August 2023, but the trial was postponed after the judge tested positive for COVID-19.
