Patrick Mahomes is already enjoying a great start to the playoffs, even though the Chiefs haven’t played yet.
On Monday, the two-time NFL MVP quarterback and his wife, Brittany, announced the birth of their third child, a daughter named Golden Raye. She was born on Sunday, while Kansas City was waiting to find out who their opponent would be in the divisional round.
As the No. 1 seed, the Chiefs had the weekend off. They will play the Houston Texans on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, a team they beat last month.
The Mahomes couple already has a 3-year-old daughter named Sterling and a 2-year-old son named Bronze.
“I always wanted to have kids young,” Mahomes, whose father Patrick Mahomes Sr. played 11 years in Major League Baseball, said in an interview last year. “I got to grow up in the locker room. I mean, I’ve talked about it before, and it made such an impact in my life. And so I wanted to have kids young, and we’re having our third kid now to join the family.”
In a previous interview last month, Patrick Mahomes mentioned that he hoped their baby would arrive during their bye week. The couple shared in July that they were expecting their third child, and a week later revealed they were having another girl.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have been together since high school. He played quarterback at Texas Tech before the Chiefs picked him in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. She played soccer at the University of Texas-Tyler before having a stint as a professional in Iceland. The couple got married in Hawaii in March 2022.
As for a fourth child, Mahomes put that idea to rest ahead of training camp last July.
“I’m done. I’ll say that,” Mahomes said with a grin. “I did three and I’m done.”
