How many kids does Patrick Mahomes have? All about Chiefs QB's children

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is widely known and admired for his extraordinary gridiron skills. He is a five-time Pro Bowler and has won two Super Bowl rings so far.

However, Mahomes' talents extend beyond the football field as well. The superstar athlete is a proud father of two children with his wife Brittany Matthews Mahomes.

Mahomes became a father for the first time on Feb. 20, 2021, when Brittany, gave birth to their daughter Sterling Skye. The couple joyfully shared their parenthood adventures on social media, also involving their furry friends for a special gender reveal.

In May 2022, a few months after Mahomes and Brittany's enchanting Hawaiian wedding ceremony, they announced they were expecting their second child. Their son, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, entered the world on Nov. 28, 2022, adding another layer of bliss to their growing family.

Sterling, their adorable daughter, enthusiastically embraced her new role as a doting big sister. The two children seem to get along quite well with each other and are often spotted at Arrowhead Stadium when their father is in action for the Chiefs.

During a press conference in Dec. 2022, Mahomes opened up on the meaning behind his son's name. He said:

"I’ve always wanted to do Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. I’ve thought about that since I was literally like 5 or 6 years old. I always thought it was going to be ‘Trey’ as a third.”

Mahomes also expressed his gratitude to his brother, Jackson, for suggesting the nickname "Bronze" for his son. He said:

“I always thought it was going to be ‘Tre’ as the third because you hear a lot of people doing that and my brother Jackson (Mahomes), whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling.’ And so, we went with that."
