Patrick Mahomes Sends Heartfelt Message to Teammate George Karlaftis After Wedding in Greece

While Patrick Mahomes continues to focus on his recovery from a torn ACL and aims to be ready for the Kansas City Chiefs‘ Week 1 opener against the Denver Broncos, he’s also taking time to celebrate the personal milestones of his teammates. One such milestone came from George Karlaftis, the Chiefs’ star defensive end, who recently tied the knot with his high school sweetheart Kaia Harris.

Karlaftis, 22, shared the exciting news of his marriage on social media, posting a beautiful picture of him and his bride from their wedding in Glyfada, Greece. The couple celebrated in style at the luxury coastal resort One&Only Aesthesis, where they held a three-day celebration surrounded by family and close friends.

Though Mahomes couldn’t attend the wedding, he was quick to send his warm congratulations via Instagram, writing, “Congrats!!!! ♥️”. His heartfelt message was one of the first to be posted in response to Karlaftis’ announcement, showing the close-knit bond between the Chiefs teammates.

The wedding was attended by several members of the Chiefs family, including Travis Kelce and his fiancée Taylor Swift, who are also rumored to be getting married later this year. The couple were reportedly dancing all night at the wedding in what was described as a no-phones event, adding a layer of privacy to the already intimate celebration.

While Karlaftis and Harris are still enjoying their honeymoon in Greece, they have already expressed their excitement about starting a family and building a future together.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs are gearing up for the new season, with Karlaftis expected to be a key player as they aim to bounce back after a disappointing 2025 season. The team is eager to make improvements, and Karlaftis, now settled into married life, will undoubtedly bring renewed energy to the defensive line.

Karlaftis has some time to enjoy his newlywed bliss before the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp, which begins on June 9. However, once that time comes, it’s back to business for the Chiefs as they strive to reclaim their dominance in the AFC after their first missed playoff berth in over a decade.
