As many fans know, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a husband, a father of two young kids, and a dad to two dogs who are so beloved in the family they have their own social media accounts. More on that in a moment.
First, let’s review the timeline of how Patrick and Brittany Mahomes expanded their family from just the two of them to a foursome—or sixsome if you include their canine kids—and soon to be a sevensome! That's right! On July 12, 2024, Brittany announced via Instagram, sharing an adorable photoshoot of the family and Brittany holding a bunch of ultrasound photos, that she and Patrick are expecting their third child.
Here's everything we know about Patrick's kids and the expected arrival of their third.
Patrick Mahomes’ kids and wife are a huge part of his life.
For Patrick Mahomes, first came love, then came the baby in the baby carriage, and then came marriage — with some dogs thrown in the mix as well! The star quarterback married his longtime girlfriend Brittany Matthews, whom he met in high school, in March of 2022, per People. It was in September of 2020 that the lovebirds had gotten engaged, and in February of the next year, their family would grow to include their first child, a daughter they named Sterling Skye.
Patrick talked to Today about why he and Brittany are willing to share their personal life — including Sterling’s face — with fans, back in July of 2021. "Obviously at first we wanted to keep stuff private and not have her out there,” he explained.
He added, “As we started doing different things and she started getting a little bit older, being out and about, it almost became like a burden to try to hide her at all times when we do stuff, and this coming season we want her to be at the games and not have to worry about hiding her the entire time," Patrick said at the time.
The NFL star also shared some very cute insight into what life is like now that he’s a dad, telling Today about Sterling, "There's moments when she's crying and Brittany’s at the store or in the shower or something like that, and I have no idea what to do after I try all the tricks. Luckily enough there hasn’t been too many of those moments."
Patrick's daughter Sterling became a big sister shortly after her parents married.
Sterling was a flower girl at her parents’ wedding when she was just a year old. Then, in May of 2022, the little girl joined her parents on Instagram to announce that their family was growing again. “Round 2!” the quarterback captioned a photo reel of himself, Brittany, and little Sterling sharing that her “big sister duties” were “coming soon.”
Patrick Mahomes is a dad of two, with a third on the way.
On November 28, 2022, Sterling became a big sister to a brother, with the kids’ star dad sharing the announcement of his birth via Twitter, captioning a photo of the newborn’s pajama-clad feet, “Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III 11/28/22 7lbs 8oz.”
As The Kansas City Star reports, little Patrick is the third Mahomes with this first name, as his grandfather is also Patrick Mahomes. Patrick III joins more than just a big sister at home, incidentally, as his parents are big-time dog lovers as well.
Brittany Mahomes announced she's pregnant with their third child in July 2024.
Brittany and Patrick announced their third pregnancy in the most heartwarming way imaginable. They shared a sweet video on Instagram, capturing the family's birth announcement photoshoot. In the video, Patrick's kids are joyfully jumping around with excitement, and Sterling can be seen holding a collection of ultrasound photos featuring her soon-to-be brother or sister.
The video's caption continues the theme from past announcements: "Round three, here we come." While the exact due date for Brittany and Patrick's third baby isn't known yet, Brittany appears to be in the early stages of pregnancy based on her appearance in the video.
The Mahomes’s dogs' names fit within the family theme.
According to Us Weekly, not only do Patrick and Brittany love on their kiddos, Sterling and baby Bronze, but they also count fur babies among the Mahomes brood. The quarterback has talked about his pit bull, Steel, in the past, telling The Kansas City Star, “He’s an awesome dog — very loving, very energetic.” The dad of two went on to call Steel his “best friend.”
Meanwhile, the family adopted a second dog, Silver, during the Chiefs’ offseason, according to the star. Explaining the theme of their kids’ and dogs’ monikers, Brittany previously said, "When we got Silver we were trying to think of a name that goes with Steel. We thought of Sterling and I said no, when I have a daughter one day I want that to be her name." She added per Today, "So then we came up with Silver instead for our pup. So now we have Steel, Silver and Sterling."
Like his children, Patrick also enjoys showing off his canine kids on Instagram — in fact, the four-legged family members even have their own Instagram account, and are followed by over 210,000 people. And in case you were wondering, yes, Steel and Silver are Kansas City Chiefs fans, just like the rest of the Mahomes clan.
