You’ll be shocked to know Patrick’s solo “childcare” schedule and realize that he’s not only a star on the field but also a star at home.
We all know Patrick Mahomes as the record-smashing, MVP-winning quarterback who lights up the NFL with every snap he takes. But this week, fans got a rare and unfiltered peek into a very different kind of arena: Mahomes vs. full-time solo dad duty — no wife, no nanny, no backup.
And let’s just say… the guy still delivers.
When wife Brittany Mahomes jetted off for a three-day wellness retreat in Sedona with friends, and their trusted full-time nanny took a much-needed family break, Patrick decided to take the challenge head-on:
48 hours alone with daughter Sterling (4) and son Bronze (2).
The Mahomes family granted Celebrity Daily News exclusive access to a day-in-the-life video diary filmed by Patrick himself (with occasional toddler interference), and the result was equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, and heroic.
☀️ 6:03 AM – “Dad? DAD!”
The day begins before sunrise with a chorus of small feet and louder voices. Sterling, in sparkly pajamas, is already “styling” her dad’s hair with a pink plastic brush. Bronze, meanwhile, is under the kitchen island wearing only one sock and munching dry cereal from the box.
“Breakfast is… experimental,” Mahomes admits with a grin, trying to scramble eggs with a baby on one hip and a toddler critiquing his pancake skills from the counter.
Let’s just say the eggs were a little crispy. But spirits? High.
🏃♂️ 9:30 AM – Backyard “Training Camp”
After breakfast and a minor tantrum over mismatched socks, Mahomes rallies the troops into the backyard for what he calls “Mini Combine Day.” Sterling and Bronze take turns chasing foam footballs while Patrick narrates like it’s the Super Bowl.
“Bronze is showing real pocket presence today,” he jokes as the toddler runs in circles. “Sterling’s got breakaway speed… if she ever puts her shoes on.”
🍝 12:15 PM – Lunch… Kinda
Lunch is peanut butter sandwiches, string cheese, and three “negotiated” Oreo halves. The quarterback is already sweating—but not from cardio.
“Lunch is 20% food, 80% diplomacy,” he laughs as Sterling insists that her grapes must be “in a line” and Bronze feeds the dog half his sandwich.
😴 2:00 PM – Nap Time… LOL
Let’s be honest: nap time is a lie.
Patrick spends 45 minutes lying between the kids in a dark room reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar three times while humming made-up lullabies. Sterling finally nods off. Bronze? Not a chance.
“I’m throwing in the towel,” he whispers to the camera, eyes wide. “I’d rather face the 49ers’ defense again than try to win the nap battle.”
🎨 4:00 PM – Art Time Gone Wild
Patrick breaks out the finger paints. Immediately regrets it.
Within minutes, Bronze has turned the living room rug into a Pollock painting, and Sterling is using glitter glue in ways that defy gravity. But Mahomes keeps his cool, even when glue ends up in his beard.
“We’re learning… expressive techniques,” he says, as he Googles “how to remove paint from hardwood floors.”
🍕 6:30 PM – Dinner + Dance Party
Dinner is pizza (from the freezer), apple slices, and chocolate milk. Patrick finally gets a moment of peace as the kids watch Frozen—until “Let It Go” turns into a full-blown living room performance.
“I may or may not know all the choreography now,” he confesses, sweating, pizza in hand.
🌙 8:15 PM – Bedtime Blitz
As the sun sets, the final challenge awaits: bedtime.
Baths are a splash zone. PJs are a negotiation. Stories are dramatic readings. But Mahomes tackles each with the same energy he brings to Arrowhead.
He tucks them both in, kisses foreheads, and whispers, “I love you, always.”
And then? Silence.
For exactly 11 minutes.
Then Bronze needs water. Sterling can’t find her unicorn plushie. The game continues.
🛋️ 9:30 PM – Victory (and Exhaustion)
Finally, the house is quiet. Mahomes sits on the couch, feet up, hair tousled, glitter still stuck to his elbow.
“I’m beat,” he says with a smile. “But I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
The Internet Reacts: “MVP Dad!”
When snippets of the diary dropped on Mahomes’ Instagram story, fans went wild.
“He’s a national treasure. Give him Dad of the Year too!” – @chiefsqueen87
“Someone cast him in a sitcom ASAP.” – @dadsdoingitright
“This is the real Super Bowl.” – @momsoftiktok
Mahomes may dominate on the field, but after this week, he’s proven something even more powerful:
🏆 He’s not just a quarterback. He’s a full-on Dad MVP.
And fans are here for it.
