Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a three-time Super Bowl MVP and a soon-to-be dad of three.
Patrick and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, welcomed their first child, daughter Sterling Skye, on Feb. 20, 2021, followed by their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, on Nov. 28, 2022. The couple are currently expecting their third child.
In October 2022, Patrick opened up about being a father during an episode of Football in America. The athlete said he plans to “stay out of the way” when it comes to his kids’ potential athletic interests.
“I’m going to teach my son, my daughter all the fundamentals and whatever they want to learn. But at the same time, I want to let it be about them,” he explained. “That’s what my dad did growing up, that’s what my parents did. They didn’t pressure me to do anything. I think that’s why I’m in the position I am today.”
Patrick’s biggest fans were there to cheer him on during Super Bowl 2024 in Las Vegas. Brittany, Sterling and baby Bronze stood by the quarterback’s side as he accepted the Lombardi Trophy following the big game.
“[Sterling] loves to watch her dad play football. She can see him from a mile away and pays attention and keeps up with what’s going on with him,” the doting mom told PEOPLE in January 2024.
Nearly a year later, Patrick and Brittany celebrated their last Christmas as parents of two in December 2024, gifting their children mini luxury cars for the holiday — a pink Range Rover for Sterling, and a matte black Mercedez-Benz G-Wagon for Bronze.
Here’s everything to know about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ kids.
Sterling Skye Mahomes, 3
Patrick proposed to his longtime girlfriend — they’ve been together since high school — at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl ring ceremony on Sept. 1, 2020. Later that month, they shared the news that they were expecting baby No. 1. “Just taking a small detour to the wedding😬❤️,” Brittany wrote beside a photo of the couple holding a sonogram.
The couple welcomed their daughter on Feb. 20, 2021, in Kansas City, Missouri. The announcement included a photo of baby Sterling holding Patrick’s finger with the message, “Sterling Skye Mahomes 👸🏼 2/20/21 6lbs 11oz.”
Days later, Brittany revealed that they planned to hold off on sharing photos of Sterling’s face until they “felt the time was right.” That time came four months later, in June 2021, when Sterling officially made her Instagram debut.
“Obviously at first we wanted to keep stuff private and not have her out there,” Patrick told TODAY in July 2021. “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. We just want to give her the most normal life that she possibly can so she can grow and have friends and learn and get better and better every single day.”
2021 and 2022 were marked by firsts for the new family of three: Sterling’s first Christmas, her first New Year’s, her first birthday, her first Father’s Day, her first time on the football field and her first commercial. Sterling appeared in an Oakley ad alongside her dad, and he couldn’t have been prouder. “We got a special day. We got Ster-Ster’s first commercial,” Patrick said at the time. “She’s going to be the real star of the family.”
However, perhaps the most special moment for the family came on March 12, 2022, when Patrick and Brittany got married. In July 2021, Patrick told PEOPLE he was hoping to have Sterling be the flower girl at their wedding, and in 2022, Brittany confirmed that was the case. “Having your daughter apart of your wedding, just hits different🥺💕,” Brittany wrote on Instagram. Sterling scooted down the aisle in a tiny blue car.
Patrick is extremely excited to watch his little girl grow up, and he’s looking forward to all of the new challenges that may bring. When asked if he would be willing to do Sterling’s hair when she gets older, Patrick told PEOPLE, “I will try my best. I’ve tried to work with Brittany’s hair before and I’m not the best at it, but I’ll definitely do whatever I can as a dad — and as a girl dad — to learn how to do at least a couple things so if I’m ever put in a position where I’m the one taking care of her hair, I know a couple of tricks.”
Sterling is already proving to be quite the fashionista — in October 2022, Brittany shared a sweet photo of her daughter walking with a mini Louis Vuitton purse on her arm. In the snap, the little girl pairs her bag with a white t-shirt, black leggings and a pair of white sneakers.
Seemingly taking after her mother, the toddler also has great game-day style. During the 2022 football season, she and Brittany wore mother-daughter matching outfits, which featured red pants and black shirts featuring “Mahomes” printed in white. Sterling was also seen in her “15” jean jacket, which she debuted earlier in the season. “Game Days with my girl❤️💛 #chiefskingdom,” Brittany wrote in the caption.
Sterling’s tradition of wearing custom pieces continued into the 2024 season, when she cheered her dad on from the sidelines while wearing a denim outfit complete with patches that referenced Patrick, including the word “daddy” and his jersey number.
“She truly enjoys going down to the field and getting to see him before the game,” Brittany told PEOPLE of her daughter’s experience at Patrick’s NFL games in January 2024. “I think it’s a very special moment wherever I get to bring them to the game and they get to watch their dad play football.”
On Feb. 19, 2023, the Mahomes family celebrated Sterling’s second birthday with a candy-themed bash. “Sterling’s Two Sweet” party offered a lot of fun and games for the birthday girl and her friends, including a ball pit and a bounce house.
“My baby girl is a whole 2 years old! 🥹 I can’t even believe it. These have been some of the best years of my life being your mama Sterling Skye! You make everyday a good day!” Brittany captioned a carousel of party images on Instagram.
Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 2
On Nov. 28, 2022, Brittany and Patrick announced the arrival of their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, on Instagram.
The couple shared a sweet photo of their newborn’s feet as he slept on a fleece blanket emblazoned with the name “Mahomes.” Also pictured was a custom chain with Bronze’s name spelled out in diamonds.
Patrick and Brittany first revealed their family was growing in May 2022. It was later revealed that their second child wasn’t “planned.”
While the couple have shared plenty of sweet moments of their children online, Brittany has let fans know that parenting two young kids isn’t always easy. “Today is my first day of chaos since having 2 kids,” she wrote on Twitter in December 2022. “Both screaming, both not wanting to nap.”
After a “scary and frantic trip to the ER” in August 2023, Brittany and Patrick learned that Bronze is highly allergic to peanuts.
Brittany is soaking up every moment with Bronze, who has already joined in on one of the family’s favorite pastimes — cheering on Patrick. He accompanied his mom and sister to the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona and the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Ahead of Bronze’s second birthday in November 2024, Patrick announced his latest collaboration with Adidas — the Mahomes 2 Impact FLX Bronze training shoes. “Celebrating Bronze’s birthday with his own colorway,” the athlete wrote on Instagram.

In July 2024, Patrick and Brittany announced their third pregnancy.
“Round three, here we come,” they wrote on Instagram alongside a video which featured behind-the-scenes footage from a family photoshoot.
Later that same month, the couple revealed that baby No. 3 is a girl.
