What to Know
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes‘ family is getting even bigger. On Tuesday, the couple announced that they are expecting their fourth baby, and as you can imagine, people have a lot of thoughts.
Now that the news is out, not only are fans surprised that Patrick and Brittany decided to add another little one to their family, but there’s a lot of debate about what metal this one will be named for. After Sterling, Bronze, and Golden, they can’t very well interrupt the pattern now!
Patrick and Brittany shared the news with an Instagram post.
Patrick and Brittany shared a joint Instagram post that included family photos at the beach with all three of their children, along with Brittany showing off her new baby bump for the first time.
“Another blessing from God🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6🤍,” she wrote in her caption.
Everyone looks so happy and excited in these photos, and the future mom of four is absolutely glowing.
This pregnancy comes as a surprise to many fans.
After the couple welcomed their youngest child, daughter Golden, in January 2025, it seemed like they were done having children — and both Patrick and Brittany have said as much in interviews.
During a June 2025 appearance on the WHOOP podcast, Brittany said, “We’re done. We’re done for a while. Three. I don’t know, I mean I feel like you can never like say you’re done, but I think three is all I need.”
Patrick seemed to agree when he talked about Golden’s arrival in a press conference last January. “We’ll see down the line, maybe,” he told reporters about having more kids. “But my goal was always three. So, we’ve had three. And we’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.”
Clearly something has changed since then — or maybe their baby-to-be was just as surprising to them? — and maybe this new little one will be their last.
Some critics even claim Brittany is trying to “trap” Patrick.
While some of Brittany’s biggest critics on Reddit are debating what metal this new baby will be named after — Chrome Mahomes seems to be a frontrunner — others are convinced that the rumors that her marriage with Patrick is struggling are true and this is her way of keeping him around.
“This isn’t surprising… I’m pretty sure she felt Pat was going to leave her so she decided to trap him once again,” one commenter wrote.
Another Redditor added, “My suspicion is he did not want more children, he even said so to the media a few times. I think the affair became more known to her earlier this summer, and [voila], she’s suddenly pregnant again.”
And then, there’s also the matter of Brittany’s massive tattoo dedicated to her family. How is she possibly going to add another child’s profile to her arm?!
