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.
Here’s everything to know about Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ kids.

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 number one. “Just taking a small detour to the wedding️,” 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 girl️ #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.

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 on May 29, 2022. “Round 2!” the duo captioned a trio of pictures featuring them and Sterling holding an ultrasound and a sign that says “Big sister duties … coming soon.”
Brittany later revealed that their second 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 wasn’t “planned” while answering questions for an Instagram Story Q&A. In the April 2023 post, the mom-of-two revealed he “happened on our wedding night 🤭.”
While the couple have shared plenty of sweet moments of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren online, Brittany 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 in a Dec. 14, 2022, Twitter post. “Both screaming, both not wanting to nap.” And after a “scary and frantic trip to the ER” in August 2023, Brittany and Patrick learned that Bronze is highly allergic to peanuts.
However, the mom of two is soaking up every moment with Bronze, who is already joining in on one of the family’s favorite pastimes — cheering on Mahomes. He accompanied his mom and sister in Glendale, Arizona, for the 2023 Super Bowl, where Brittany posted a series of sweet photos of her kids.
“Just the best little guy ,” she captioned on snap of her and Bronze wearing matching neutral outfits.

While Patrick and Brittany initially abstained from showing Bronze’s face on social media, they finally shared a full image of the boy in a family photo from Disneyland after Patrick’s Super Bowl win. The joint post featured a photo of the group posing in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.
“Welcome to the happiest place on earth, Bronze and Sterling! ️,” the pair wrote in the caption.
While his dad is preparing for another Super Bowl appearance, the 1-year-old has already accomplished a major milestone of his own: taking his first steps! While speaking do reporters ahead of Super Bowl 2024, Patrick revealed Bronze had started to walk.
“Yeah, I always FaceTime them whenever I’m not with them and talk to them throughout the day,” the quarterback said. “Bronze is running around now, starting to walk.”

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.
