Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, have announced that they are expecting their third child. The couple, both 28, shared the joyous news with the help of their two children, Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 18 months. In a heartwarming Instagram Reel posted on Friday, Sterling is seen holding sonograms up to the camera while she and her younger brother dance around and pose for family photos with their parents. Brittany captioned the video, “Round three, here we come.”
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have been together since their high school days. They got engaged in September 2020 following Patrick’s Super Bowl ring ceremony at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Later that same month, they announced they were expecting their first child. The couple tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed their second child later that year.
In May, Patrick Mahomes praised his wife on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, calling her a “hall of fame mom and a hall of fame wife.” He expressed his gratitude for her support, saying, “I think people don’t even realize how much she does. Taking care of the day-to-day stuff and making it so where I can focus on football, focus on my craft and everything like that. It makes things a lot easier … when you get to come home and your best friend’s there. You can just hang out. It makes you want to be there all the time and so, she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”
The Mahomes family has been enjoying a busy offseason, which included a trip abroad with stops in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and England. They spent the Fourth of July weekend attending a Morgan Wallen concert and visiting the All England Club for some tennis. The couple did not reveal Brittany’s due date in the pregnancy announcement.
Patrick and Brittany began dating in 2012 when they were both students at Whitehouse High School in Texas. Patrick was a sophomore, and Brittany was a junior. During a 2020 interview with Today, Patrick reflected on the early days of their relationship, describing himself as “just a normal teenage kid showing up at the family dinner type stuff and being nervous and everything.” Following his Super Bowl ring ceremony in September 2020, Patrick proposed to Brittany in front of a floral wall with a neon light that read “Will You Marry Me?” Later that same month, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Their daughter Sterling Skye was born in February 2021.
On March 12, 2022, Patrick and Brittany finally said “I do” after 10 years of dating during a private ceremony held in Maui, Hawaii. Later that year, the couple announced they were expanding their family with baby No. 2 in a joint Instagram post. Their second baby, son Bronze, was born in November 2022.
This past May, Patrick raved about Brittany as a mom when he appeared on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast. Discussing the host’s recent announcement that he and his fiancée Nina Agdal are expecting their first baby, Patrick spoke about his own family life and showered his wife of two years with compliments. The Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback said, “I think people don’t even realize how much she does. Taking care of the day-to-day stuff and making it so where I can focus on football, focus on my craft and everything like that. Just being a hall of fame mom and a hall of fame wife. It makes things a lot easier … when you get to come home and your best friend is there. You can just hang out. It makes you want to be there all the time and so, she pushes me to be great. She’s done a lot of great things herself.”
Brittany has struck up a friendship with Taylor Swift, who is dating Patrick’s teammate Travis Kelce. The high school sweethearts are parents to two children, daughter Sterling Skye Mahomes and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III. They welcomed Sterling on February 20, 2021, revealing the joyous news with an Instagram post that featured a black and white picture of the newborn baby girl clutching her parents’ fingers, as Brittany wore an embellished nameplate necklace that read Sterling. Bronze was born on November 28, 2022, and they announced Brittany’s pregnancy with a sweet snap that saw Sterling holding up a sign that read: “Big sister duties coming soon.” His arrival was also announced on Instagram alongside another nameplate necklace with his name.
When Patrick and Brittany had Sterling, they didn’t know if it was a girl or boy at first. “So we started thinking of girl and boy names. We wanted them to have that connection and them to be brother and sister forever. I’ve always wanted to do Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. I’ve thought about that since I was literally like five or six. I always thought it was going to be ‘Trey’ as the third — you hear of a lot of people doing that. My brother Jackson, whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling.’ We went with that, and I think it works out well.”
Patrick and Brittany, both 28, are parents to daughter Sterling, two, and 11-month-old son Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon. He was asked earlier in 2023 if he would want to expand his family, and the 28-year-old admitted that he would not “break the tie” for some time. Alec Lace of the First Class Fatherhood podcast asked during the star’s appearance: “You’ve got one and one. Are you going to try and break the tie?” But Patrick was emphatic when he insisted he wanted to let his two kids “grow up” first. “Oh no, I’m not going to break the tie for a while at least.” he said. “I got a girl and a boy and I’m 27, and I’m going to let these kids grow up. It’s hard when you get home after a long day at work and you’ve got the baby in one arm or a baby in the other arm at all times.”
Patrick and Brittany met when they were both students at Whitehouse High School in East Texas. Patrick was a sophomore and Brittany a junior when they began dating. In episode 1 of Netflix’s Quarterback docuseries, Patrick revealed that Brittany “was in the grade above me, I was kind of the best friend, in the friend zone forever.” But when he gifted her a rose for Valentine’s Day during his sophomore year, it all changed. “I thought it was the cutest thing in the world. And then everyone at our lunch table started chanting, ‘Kiss him, kiss him,’ and made it really awkward cause we were ‘just friends’ so that’s kind of what started it and then I thought it was cute,” Brittany shared.
Their romance lasted through long distance as Patrick studied at Texas Tech and Brittany attended the University of Texas at Tyler, a seven-hour drive away. Patrick proposed in 2020 and they married on February 12, 2022, in Hawaii surrounded by family and friends.
