Brittany Mahomes is ringing in the new year with a new fitness technique.

Indeed, the Sports Illustrated model—who is expecting her third 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 with husband Patrick Mahomes—posted an adorable video of her workout with kids Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 2, there to cheer her on. And it seems that her oldest thought the best place to show her support would from right on top of her mother’s head.

“The best workouts,” Brittany wrote over the Jan. 1 video posted to her Instagram Stories, with Sterling sitting comfortably on her mom’s head as she leaned against the weight bench lifting dumbbells.

Brittany was humorously unfazed, showing off her 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 bump in a cream-colored hoodie and turquoise leggings that proved she’s staying active even in the last days of her pregnancy. However, she’s keeping it low-key when it comes to more intense activities, recently skipping her husband’s Kansas City Chiefs game on Christmas because, according to Patrick, she is “due any day now.”

“Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season,” he told sports reporter Kay Adams, “so I got to try to now put so much stress on her.”

“Hopefully, God works the right way and maybe we can have that 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 on the bye week somewhere,” the 29-year-old continued, “and then everything will work out perfectly.”

After all, Brittany could use a little rest as she nears the end of her third trimester. She even said herself that pregnancy is quite the exhausting feat.

“I need naps,” the 29-year-old admitted on an August episode of the Whoop podcast. “So I like to work my naps into my schedule now, because when you’re pregnant you’re tired.”

“With the first pregnancy, it was just me,” she continued. “So I could take naps, sleep all day, you know, I had nothing priority for me to do. Then, with Bronze, it was like, ‘Well, I have to take care of this kid but I’m tired,’ so I would just nap when she napped.”

But whether it’s pregnancy or a back injury, Brittany is not one to let any of it get in the way of her workout routine. After fracturing her back due to pelvic floor issues earlier this year, Brittany and her personal trainer Kirsty Rae shared insight into how she bounced back in the gym.

“Strong mama,” Kirsty wrote over a December video of Brittany doing pull-ups and lat pull downs, “back injury whoooooo?!”

And while sharing her impressive routines, Brittany detailed the lessons she learned about adapting her fitness routine to contribute to a smooth recovery after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, especially with her back injury.

“Pelvic floor therapy and really focus on your breathing techniques or you will get injured,” the former professional soccer player explained on the Whoop podcast in August. “I obviously worked out my whole life so I had kids and then I’m like, ‘Oh I’ll just keep working out how I’ve always worked out, I’m fine.’ Well, I hurt my back.”

“I went to therapy, went to chiropractor, went and got X-Rays,” she continued. “In the end, a lot of people talk about pelvic floor therapy and strengthening your pelvic floor after you have kids and how important that is. So obviously, I started to do more of that because I was injured and that’s kind of what my therapy was.”

What to Know About Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ 3 Kids’ Names

Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes have kept up their elemental naming tradition with the Jan. 12 birth of their newborn daughter.

The Kansas City Current co-owner and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, both 29, announced on Instagram on Monday, Jan. 13, they welcomed their third baby the previous day and named her Golden Raye.

The baby girl joins their other two children — daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 2 — all of whom are either named or nicknamed after types of metal.

Brittany has spoken openly about how the pair chose their kids’ names in the past. In May 2023, she revealed during an Instagram Story Q&A that the themed naming idea originally stemmed from one of her beloved dogs.

Their dogs, Steel and Silver, also follow this naming system.

“I got Steel in college and named him that,” she explained, referring to her older dog. “We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect. Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter’s name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.”

After that, according to Brittany, she and her husband still wanted to keep the Mahomes naming tradition alive by putting their own twist on their next child’s name with a nickname.

“Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect,” she added.

At a press conference in November 2022, Patrick also shared that his brother, Jackson Mahomes, was the one to suggest Bronze as his nickname.

“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,’ ” Patrick told reporters in November 2022, per TMZ. “So, we went with that.”

“It works out well,” he added. “He can have his own thing now where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And, Sterling and Bronze can have that connection moving forward.”

In an interview with PEOPLE in June 2024, Brittany also shared that her pup Steel was named after the Pittsburgh Steelers — and that he was a gift from Patrick to Brittany during her junior year of college at the University of Texas at Tyler.

“I actually got Steel when I was in college. Patrick bought him for me for a Valentine’s Day gift when I was a junior,” Brittany shared at the time. “I actually used to be a Steelers fan and that’s how I got the name Steel, so that’s a great story.”
