Mahomes and Brittany also have two daughters, Sterling Skye, 5, and Golden Raye, 1. Mahomes discussed his approach to parenting and sports during an episode of Football in America in 2022.
The 31-year-old quarterback revealed on Wednesday, October 14, that his three-year-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, already “loves” playing tackle football. “The only thing that’s changed is chasing kids around more,” Mahomes said at the press conference. “I think that’s the best thing for me,” he said on an episode of Football in America in 2022.
Patrick Mahomes spent his Kansas City Chiefs bye week away from the usual demands of the NFL, but his time at home was hardly restful. The revelation came as Mahomes explained how raising three young children keeps him busy when he is not preparing for games. For the Chiefs star, family time now includes getting tackled by his toddler, a playful reminder that football can follow him right through the front door. “As they get older, it’s not as much laying around and not doing anything. You’re home now. You’re dad. So you have to be around. You have to chase kids around. Bronze loves to play tackle now. Bronze is the couple’s only son. His latest comments offer a glimpse into how football has become part of family life, even when the Chiefs are not preparing for a game. Still, a toddler’s enthusiasm does not necessarily point to a future NFL career. he does not want his NFL career to shape their choices before they can make those decisions themselves While he is willing to teach his children the game. “I’m going to help teach my son, my daughter, all the fundamentals and whatever they want to learn. But at the same time, I want to stay out of the way and let it be about them.”
Mahomes has previously explained that he wants his children to find their own interests rather than feel pushed toward the sport that made their father a star.
