The family of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to expand again, as his wife Brittany Mahomes announced they are expecting their fourth child. The news comes as the Kansas City Chiefs enter a critical phase of their NFL season.
Brittany Mahomes shared the news on Tuesday via Instagram, posting beachside photographs accompanied by the caption, "Another blessing from God & then there were 6." The new arrival will join siblings Sterling Skye, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon III, and Golden Raye.
Sterling Skye was born in February 2021, followed by Patrick "Bronze" Lavon III in November 2022. The couple welcomed Golden Raye in January 2025, during a playoff bye week for the Chiefs. Following the pattern of names linked to precious metals, there is already speculation among fans about what the newest addition might be called.
While many offered congratulations to the couple, some social media users humorously connected the family news to Patrick Mahomes' professional career.
"Pat trying to break every record a QB has. Going after Phillip Rivers record for kids ... " one comment read.
Another fan quipped, "That's not how you rehab a knee!!!"
A more optimistic reaction suggested, "This means we are going to the [Super Bowl]... "
Chiefs Bolster Roster Amid Playoff Push
In parallel with the personal news, the Chiefs' front office made a significant move before the 4 p.m. trade deadline, with General Manager Brett Veach acquiring slot receiver Josh Downs. This addition provides a new offensive target for Patrick Mahomes as Kansas City positions itself for an AFC playoff push in the latter half of the 2026 season.
Now in his tenth NFL season, Mahomes has been guiding the Chiefs through a challenging divisional race, facing persistent competition from the Denver Broncos.
After a brief road losing streak following their early bye week, the Chiefs rebounded strongly in Week 9. Mahomes led his team to a dominant 35-12 victory over the New York Jets at Arrowhead, improving Kansas City's record to 6-2. During the game, fans and team officials experienced a scare when Mahomes went down clutching his right elbow before halftime. Fortunately, subsequent tests revealed no structural damage, averting a major setback.
With the team's offense recently strengthened and the Mahomes family eagerly anticipating their fourth child, Patrick Mahomes faces a demanding yet exciting period ahead both on and off the field.
