Patrick Mahomes’ silence on sister Zoe’s birthday raises eyebrows amid family celebration While the Mahomes family celebrated 11-year-old Zoe in heartfelt social posts, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes remained noticeably quiet.
The visual storytelling didn’t stop there. Zoe’s mom, Anika Cooper, joined the celebration with a heartfelt post soundtracked by “You Are My Sunshine,” making it clear that the young Mahomes is deeply loved and supported. But fans quickly noticed that Patrick and Brittany, who regularly share family highlights like Sterling’s recitals or holiday snaps, hadn’t acknowledged Zoe’s big day online.
The Mahomes family had plenty to celebrate this week as Zoe Claire, the youngest member of the clan, turned 11. From warm birthday tributes to father-daughter dance photos, the joy was all over social media-except from two of the family’s most prominent figures: Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany. Their absence in the birthday shoutouts has left fans puzzled, especially given how vocal the couple usually is about family milestones.
Zoe’s dad, Pat Mahomes Sr., shared two touching tributes. One post featured a sweet moment of him and Zoe dancing, while another captured a stroll with his daughter wearing a No. 15 Mahomes jersey. In a particularly striking image, Zoe is seen next to Lionel Messi, proudly representing her brother’s legacy with a Super Bowl LIX credential around her neck and medals swinging on her chest.
Messi, medals, and a message?

Their silence struck a different chord when compared to their usual family-first social media energy. Patrick’s little sister clearly looks up to him-photos show her proudly wearing his number, cheering him on at the Super Bowl, and even posing with sports royalty. With that kind of devotion, the lack of a public birthday nod from Patrick feels louder than any caption could.
A day of simple joys-and questions
While Zoe’s birthday played out across social media, Brittany offered a separate glimpse into the Mahomes‘ home life. In Instagram stories, she captured Sterling and Bronze enjoying giant cups of shaved ice, grinning through sticky fingers and sun-drenched smiles. Missing from those images? Patrick.

Whether the couple chose to celebrate Zoe privately or there’s a deeper reason behind the silence remains unknown. Still, the contrast between glowing birthday posts and Patrick and Brittany’s absence left fans wondering. In a family that lives so much in the public eye, sometimes what isn’t shared says just as much as what is.
