Patrick Mahomes is proving he’s a star both on the football field and at home. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, known for his exceptional athletic abilities, showcased another talent that’s winning hearts—his dad skills. On Monday, December 2, Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, took to social media to give a shout-out to her husband for his impressive hair-braiding abilities with their 3-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye.
Brittany, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, shared a sweet glimpse of Patrick in action on her Instagram Stories, where she couldn’t help but compliment his work.
Over a candid photo of Patrick carefully braiding Sterling’s long, blonde hair, Brittany wrote, “@patrickmahomes crushing his braiding skills ?.” The image showed the Super Bowl-winning quarterback gently focusing on Sterling’s hair, making sure each twist was perfect—a small but heartwarming snapshot of his life as a hands-on dad.
A Growing Family and Growing Skills
It’s no surprise that Patrick Mahomes is sharpening his hair-braiding skills. He and Brittany are parents to two young children—Sterling Skye, and their 2-year-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes II. But the family is about to expand once again, as they are expecting their third child, a baby girl.
The couple announced the news back in July in a heartwarming Instagram post, and it seems like Patrick is getting ready for even more hands-on fatherhood.
The way they revealed their baby’s gender was unique and adorable. Brittany and Patrick included their daughter Sterling in the big moment by having her play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe.
After a few moves, Sterling revealed three pink Xs in a row, indicating the new baby would be a girl. Pink smoke and matching confetti filled the air as Sterling proudly held up a “big sister” flag, marking the joyful occasion with the whole family involved.
A Young Family, and A Young Father’s Perspective
Patrick Mahomes has always been vocal about his desire to start a family at a young age. During a press conference this past July, the NFL superstar explained why it was important for him to begin this chapter of his life early.
“I always wanted to have kids young,” Patrick said. “I got to grow up in the locker room, I think I’ve talked about it before—it made such an impact in my life, so I wanted to have kids young.” Patrick’s father, Pat Mahomes Sr., is a retired MLB pitcher, and Patrick spent his childhood surrounded by athletes, locker rooms, and the world of professional sports. It instilled in him a strong desire to share that experience with his own kids.

Patrick also credited Brittany for how well they’ve managed to juggle their growing family along with their busy lives. “Brittany does a great job,” Patrick said, emphasizing that while they’re focused on their family, they still make time to enjoy their lives as a couple. “We go out and enjoy our life and let our kids see these great things,” he said, noting that creating memorable experiences is a big part of their approach to parenthood.
The quarterback continued by talking about the importance of making time for his family, even with the demanding NFL schedule. “It is really cool ‘cause I spend so much time in the building at football for these eight, seven months, and whenever I’m with my family, I wanna enjoy those moments,” Patrick explained. For Mahomes, family time is sacred—a chance to make the most of those fleeting moments between games, practices, and travel.
Brittany and Patrick’s Partnership
Throughout their relationship, Brittany and Patrick have consistently shown the world that they are equal partners both on and off the field.
While Patrick leads the Chiefs to victory, Brittany, a fitness entrepreneur, and former professional soccer player, runs her own business ventures and supports Patrick’s career every step of the way. Together, they’ve built a balanced life that allows them to succeed as individuals while thriving as parents.
As Patrick juggles his football career with fatherhood, Brittany has been by his side, documenting precious family moments like Patrick braiding Sterling’s hair and making sure they celebrate every milestone together.
Their teamwork extends beyond the football field and into their roles as parents, ensuring that Sterling, Bronze, and soon their new baby girl grow up surrounded by love, support, and a bit of fun along the way.
Patrick’s commitment to his family life is evident in these small but meaningful gestures, like taking the time to braid Sterling’s hair or teaching his children the values he holds dear.
And Brittany’s support, showcased by her posts highlighting Patrick’s dedication, reflects the strong partnership they have as they navigate the challenges and joys of raising their young family.
The Mahomes Family Looks Ahead
As Patrick and Brittany Mahomes prepare for the arrival of their third child, it’s clear that their growing family will continue to be their top priority.
Whether it’s cheering for Patrick from the stands, making memorable holiday moments, or sharing adorable glimpses of Patrick’s dad skills, the Mahomes family is dedicated to building a happy, loving home—one braid at a time.
With baby number three on the way, Patrick may have to keep sharpening his hair-braiding skills, especially with two little girls at home. But if his recent Instagram debut as Sterling’s hair stylist is any indication, the NFL quarterback is more than ready for whatever fatherhood throws at him next.
Patrick Mahomes might be known for his incredible arm, leadership skills on the field, and MVP-caliber play, but it’s moments like these—quiet, sweet, family moments—that remind the world that he’s not just an athlete. He’s a father, a husband, and a man who takes pride in being present for his family every step of the way.
Whether he’s throwing touchdown passes or perfecting a loose braid for Sterling, Patrick Mahomes is truly “crushing it” in all areas of life.
