Who are Patrick Mahomes’ kids?

In the Netflix docu-series Quarterback, the high school sweethearts reminisced on the early stages of their relationship, where Mahomes explained how he courted Brittany.

“We kinda met in seventh, eighth grade,” Mahomes said. “She was the grade above me, I was kind of the best friend, in the friend zone forever. “I used to walk her to class and was trying to flirt. When I was a sophomore in high school, she was a junior. I actually got her a rose … I kinda … I had a crush on her. But, I was getting a rose as a joke for Valentine’s Day.”

At a press conference in Las Vegas ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl, Mahomes told People that he makes sure to keep in touch with his kids when he’s traveling with football: “Yeah, I always FaceTime them whenever I’m not with them and talk to them throughout the day. Bronze is running around now, starting to walk” he told reporters.

He added that the whole Mahomes family was already in Las Vegas enjoying a little vacation. “Sterling’s loving it, being able to be on vacation and everything like that. So hopefully I’ll get to see them throughout the week when I get some free time but it’s always great when I get to talk to them.”

He continued: “They are already here and I’m hopefully going to get over there maybe today or tomorrow and see them. It’s always great to have them there with me and Sterling’s running the household, running the house and seeing every single room in there.” So who are Patrick Mahomes’ kids? Meet Mahomes’ children with wife Brittany Matthews ahead.

Sterling Skye Mahomes

Birthday: February 20, 2021

Sterling Skye Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews’ eldest child and only daughter. She was born on February 20, 2021. “Sterling Skye Mahomes 👸🏼 2/20/21 6lbs 11oz,” Matthews captioned an Instagram post at the time of her wearing as “Sterling” necklace as Sterling held Mahomes’ finger.  “Sterling Skye Mahomes 2/20/21 ❤️,” Mahomes captioned the same post.

Mahomes celebrated Sterling’s first birthday in 2022 with an Instagram slideshow of him and his daughter. One photo showed Sterling in a T-shirt that read: “My daddy plays football better than your daddy.” In an interview with the “Rich Eisen Show” in 2021, Mahomes talked about how he wants to be as present in his daughter’s life as possible no matter how busy his schedule is.

“I made it home just in time before her bedtime, so she was in her bedtime routine. I got to kind of just go in and give her a little kiss goodnight, so it was definitely cool to get to go home and see her,” he said. He also told the show at the time about how he was trying to get sterling’s first word to be “dada” instead of “mama.”  “She is saying, ‘Ah-Ah,’ which to me is like really close to dada. But Brittany says it’s really close to mama. So we’re kind of battling that one out, too. I’m saying dada in every third word of my sentences,” Mahomes said.

Mahomes told Today in 2021 about why they didn’t post a photo of Sterling’s face on Instagram for the first three months after her birth. “Obviously at first we wanted to keep stuff private and not have her out there,” he said. “As we started doing different things and she started getting a little bit older, being out and about, 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.” He continued, “We figured it was about time. We still want to keep some stuff private, but we figured we can show everybody her face at least once or twice or not have to keep hiding her.”

He also told Today about how he understands what it’s like to grow up in the public eye after having a father who’s a former Major League Baseball player. (Mahomes’ dad, Pat Homes, as a MLB player for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates.)

“I think I have a little bit of an understanding because my dad played professional sports, but it’s going to be a little different in the social media age and everything like that,” Mahomes said. “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.” He continued, “There will be points where she’ll be in the public eye, and we have a great understanding of that. Luckily we’re in Kansas City where there’s a lot of great people that she’ll be in a great place as she grows up.”

Mahomes also told Today about the most important lesson he learned about being a parent at the time. “We learned the two most important words in being parents is ‘sleep schedule,'” he said. “We have the sleep schedule down. She’s actually a really good sleeper. She already sleeps through the night. She wakes up about at 6 a.m, just about when I wake up usually.”

He continued, “It’s been amazing. Brittany’s been a champ, she’s been the best mom ever, so I’m just excited every single day for the new challenges and seeing [Sterling] grow.” Still, Mahomes told Today that there was still a lot left for him to learn about being a parent.  “There’s moments when she’s crying and Brittany’s at the store or in the shower or something like that, and I have no idea what to do after I try all the tricks,” he said. “Luckily enough there hasn’t been too many of those moments.”

Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III

Birthday: November 28, 2022

Patrick Lavone Mahomes III is Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews’ second and youngest child and only son. Mahomes and Matthews nicknamed him “Bronze” after their daugther, Sterling, and dog, Steel. Bronze was born on November 28, 2022. “Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III 🤴🏽11/28/22 7lbs 8oz 🤍 Mahomes and Matthews captioned an Instagram post at the time of Bronze wearing Mahomes merch next to a necklace of his name.

At a press conference in December 2022, Mahomes revealed that his brother, Jackson Mahomes, was the one who came up with Bronze’s name. “It’s awesome to bring in a son — and to add to my family. [The delivery] was great and everything went smooth,” Mahomes said, adding that Matthews was “a champ.” He continued, “When me and Brittany, when we had Sterling, we didn’t know if it was a girl or boy at first. So we started thinking of girl and boy names.

We wanted them to have that connection and them to be brother and sister forever. I’ve always wanted to do Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. I’ve thought about that since I was literally like five or six years old. I always thought it was going to be “Trey” as the third — you hear of a lot of people doing that. My brother Jackson, whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, “What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling.’ We went with that, and I think it works out well.”

In an interview on “The Drive” radio show in 2022, Mahomes revealed that Sterling and Bronze had already become best friends a month after his birth. “She wants to hold him, and take care of him, and everything like that,” Mahomes said. “She wants to play all day, and we have to tell her to be gentle. And we have to tell her to don’t throw him like a toy baby. That’s a real baby you got there.” Though Sterling and Bronze were already close, Mahomes told the radio show that his daughter was “still figuring it out” and getting used to sharing her parents. “I think the only thing that she hasn’t figured out yet is why mom has someone else that’s not her she’s holding all the time, so she’s figuring that part out, but other than that she loves her little brother,” Mahomes said.

On the same radio show, Mahomes also revealed that Sterling wasn’t scared when she met Santa Clause at a Kansas City Chiefs’ holiday party but she was afraid of the Chiefs’ mascot, K.C. Wolf, also known as Wolfie. “It was awesome. We got to do it at the Chiefs’ Christmas party, which is always a great event for us,” he said. “She actually wasn’t too scared of Santa, but she was terrified of Wolfie, the mascot, so we have to make sure we keep her away from him until at least she gets a little older.”

In January 2024, Brittany revealed that her young son had suffered a severe allergic reaction. “Like all moms, my kids’ safety and happiness is my number one priority. I recently received an outpouring of support from other moms and parents after sharing my experience with Bronze’s severe allergic reaction to peanuts. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life,” she wrote on Instagram, before announcing a paid partnership with AUVI-Q, an epinephrine injection used to treat allergic reactions in infants and toddlers.

“So I have an infant and a toddler both who have severe food allergies and I think it is very important to raise awareness of what a severe reaction may look like if it was to happen to a child,” she said in the video. “Based on my experience, I can tell you that a severe reaction may not look how you think it should look,” the mother of two continued.

When It Was Just a Game: Remembering the First Super Bowl

For more about the Super Bowl, football fans can check out When It Was Just a Game: Remembering the First Super Bowl by Harvey Frommer. The best-selling book delves into the history of the first Super Bowl, which was originally known as the AFL-NFL Championship Game. (The term “Super Bowl” was coined only in its third year.) The debut game, between the winning Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, was played in front of only 61,946 people at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—an audience well below the stadium’s capacity. Harvey Frommer, a sports historian and reporter, puts the tale of that momentous game together using oral history, gathered by hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, media and spectators alike.
