Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, have recently welcomed their third child into the world. This exciting milestone comes after a bit of a wait, as the couple had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby. Their growing family has been a topic of much attention from fans and the media, and now, with their third child born, the Mahomes household is filled with even more joy and love.

Patrick and Brittany, who have been together for several years, have always shared their journey through life’s special moments with their fans. From their wedding to the births of their first two children, the couple has been open and transparent about their experiences. Their social media pages have offered a glimpse into their personal lives, giving fans the opportunity to celebrate with them during these important milestones.

The Mahomes family already includes two children: a daughter, Sterling Skye, born in 2021, and a son, Bronze, born in 2022. Both children have been frequently featured on the couple’s social media posts, and it’s clear that Patrick and Brittany enjoy being parents. They’ve spoken about how parenthood has changed their lives, bringing both challenges and immeasurable joy. The couple has expressed their excitement about expanding their family once again with the birth of their third child, which they had hinted at in the months leading up to the arrival.

As is often the case with celebrities, the details surrounding the birth of their third child were highly anticipated. The couple had kept much of the pregnancy under wraps, sharing only select moments with the public. However, once the baby arrived, both Patrick and Brittany took to their respective social media platforms to announce the happy news. Fans flooded their posts with congratulatory messages and best wishes, showing just how much the Mahomes family is beloved by their supporters.

It’s worth noting that the timing of the birth was particularly special. Patrick, who has built a legacy as one of the most talented quarterbacks in NFL history, was in the midst of another busy season with the Chiefs. As always, his commitment to his team and his pursuit of further success in the NFL remained a priority, but he was able to balance his professional responsibilities with his role as a father. Brittany, too, has been balancing her own career and motherhood with grace, maintaining a strong presence on social media and continuing her business ventures. Their ability to juggle these responsibilities while raising their children is something that many admire.

While the couple has not yet revealed the name or other details about their newborn, the arrival of their third child has sparked an outpouring of excitement from fans. The Mahomes family has become something of a symbol of success and happiness, with Patrick’s on-field achievements and Brittany’s entrepreneurial spirit both serving as inspiration to many. Their journey together, both as a couple and as parents, has been a testament to the power of love, dedication, and hard work.

For the Chiefs, having a player of Mahomes’ caliber means that the franchise’s future is bright. His leadership, combined with his extraordinary talent, has made him one of the most admired athletes in the world. Off the field, his role as a father and husband only adds to the public’s admiration for him. The support from Brittany and their children clearly fuels his drive, and fans are always eager to see the Mahomes family grow.

As the Mahomes family adjusts to life with their new addition, it’s clear that their journey is far from over. The challenges of raising three children, alongside their demanding careers, will certainly present new hurdles. But if the past is any indication, Patrick and Brittany will continue to handle it all with grace and resilience. Fans will undoubtedly continue to follow their story, eager to celebrate every new chapter in their lives. And as the Chiefs continue to chase greatness, the Mahomes family will remain a beloved part of the story.

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.”
