Patrick Mahomes is gearing up for a playoff run with the Kansas City Chiefs, but his focus this week isn’t just on football—it’s on family. The star quarterback revealed an exciting update about his wife Brittany’s pregnancy, sharing that the couple is expecting their third child, a baby girl, in the coming days.
A Wholesome Bye Week
The Chiefs, fresh off securing the AFC’s No. 1 seed on Christmas Day, are enjoying a well-earned bye week before hosting the divisional round on January 18 or 19. For Mahomes, this break comes with a special twist.
He told CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson on Monday that Brittany is due to give birth this Sunday, and if the baby doesn’t arrive on her own, she will be induced on Monday.
This timeline gives Mahomes the rare opportunity to fully embrace his growing family during the bye week before turning his attention back to the field. It’s a perfect alignment of personal and professional priorities for the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
Growing the Mahomes Family
The Mahomeses are already parents to two young children: 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and 2-year-old son Bronze.
The couple announced Brittany’s pregnancy in July, sharing their excitement about expanding their family. With their newest addition expected to arrive just as the playoffs begin, the timing couldn’t be more serendipitous for the Mahomes household.
Chiefs’ Luck on Their Side
The Chiefs’ bye week not only grants the team a much-needed rest but also gives Mahomes the unique chance to bond with his newborn before returning to action. For a team aiming for a historic three-peat as Super Bowl champions, this kind of timing feels almost like fate.
Mahomes’ ability to balance fatherhood and the pressures of leading the Chiefs has been a hallmark of his career.
This week will undoubtedly be a whirlwind for the quarterback, but it’s clear that family comes first—even as he leads Kansas City’s charge toward another Lombardi Trophy.
With the divisional round looming and his family set to grow, Mahomes’ week will be busier than most. But for the star quarterback, it’s all part of the joy of the journey.
