Who is Shyanne Blankenship? Jackson Mahomes shares new romance with fans

Jackson Mahomes, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is in the spotlight after posting a TikTok video that has gained attention. The clip, captioned "hard launch," showcases Jackson with Shyanne Blankenship, and is set to the beats of Poker Face by Lady Gaga, according to a People report per Yahoo!News.

While the video was playful and affectionate, it sparked attention due to Jackson’s growing visibility in both social media and the broader public eye. Jackson is well-known for attending Chiefs games and his connections to some of the biggest players in the NFL world. Such prominent public ties kept his private life under the spotlight.

Shyanne Blankenship, the woman featured in the video, is a Kansas City native, according to Marca. While she isn't a public personality, her picture with Jackson sparks a lot of interest, and people have been wondering about her background. Social media users have started putting together what they know about her online, including pictures of her cheering the Chiefs during big games.

A 'hard launch', according to Urban Dictionary, is 'an explicit and purposeful announcement of a romantic relationship, usually announced on social media.' Mahomes' caption seems to be a confirmation to fans about his current relationship status with Blankenship.

Jackson and Shyanne's timelines for how long they know each other aren't clear yet, but from the pictures of the past they do seem to have been friends for at least a year now. One snapshot from a Drake concert in 2023 hints at a longstanding connection.

People may be surprised about his girlfriend only now, but Jackson Mahomes seems to have hinted at the news through Instagram pictures a while back. On March 18, he posted a picture with Shyanne Blankenship and captioned:

"why so serious?"

In another Instagram post, the internet personality posted a picture him and Shyanne Blankenship enjoying the weekend. He wrote:

"Weekend at the lake."

As Jackson continues to drop by at big game events and social gatherings like the Super Bowl, meeting public figures like Taylor Swift and President Trump, it’s natural that his personal life is getting a lot more public attention, especially on social media. While his fans love it, many have found grounds to criticize him.

"I really don’t get why people have to display everything for the world to see on social media. Seriously, am I the weird one for enjoying privacy? I really don’t get it," an X user commented.

"Who cares? An absolute no mark with a famous brother," another wrote.
