Patrick Mahomes is eyeing a new kind of roster expansion, revealing on Wednesday, November 11, that he hopes his fourth child with wife Brittany will be a boy.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 31, joked that he and his 3-year-old son, Bronze, are currently outnumbered by the women in their household.
The couple, who are high school sweethearts, confirmed they are expecting their fourth child in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, November 10, captioned, “Another blessing from God🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6🤍.” While Patrick told reporters he is “just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day,” he admitted he would love to “even up the score” with a second son, as reported by usmagazine.com.
Three Takeaways on the Mahomes Family Growth
- Patrick Mahomes is publicly hoping for a boy to balance the gender split in a household that currently includes daughters Sterling, 5, and Golden, 19 months.
- The athlete noted a recurring trend where the Chiefs have reached the Super Bowl during his previous pregnancy announcements, a streak he hopes to continue this season.
- Despite previous comments suggesting they were “done” after three children, the couple confirmed their fourth pregnancy just over a year after the birth of their youngest daughter.
The Super Bowl Pregnancy Streak
Beyond the personal dynamics of his growing family, Patrick Mahomes addressed a peculiar statistical trend that has caught the attention of NFL fans and media alike. During a team press conference on Wednesday, November 11, a reporter pointed out that every time he and Brittany have announced a pregnancy, the Chiefs have gone on to reach the Super Bowl, according to yahoo.com.
The quarterback laughed off the observation but expressed a clear desire for the pattern to hold. “I’m hoping. I don’t know if Brittany is,” Mahomes said, as noted by pagesix.com. “But I’m hoping if we can keep that going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way, that’d be awesome for sure.”
Family Expansion Timeline
The Mahomes family has grown rapidly since their first child, Sterling, was born in February 2021. Their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, arrived in November 2022, followed by daughter Golden Raye in January 2025. The couple's latest announcement contradicts their previous public stance on their family size.
| Child | Birth Date | Relationship to Parents |
|---|---|---|
| Sterling Skye | February 2021 | Firstborn daughter |
| Patrick “Bronze” III | November 2022 | Firstborn son |
| Golden Raye | January 2025 | Second daughter |
As recently as June 2025, Brittany mentioned on the Whoops podcast that she felt “three is all I need,” while Patrick had previously stated in July 2024 that he was “done.” However, by January 2025, Patrick had softened that position, telling reporters he would “stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.”
Parenting Philosophy in the Spotlight
While the focus is currently on the impending arrival of baby No. 4, the Mahomes family remains a prominent part of the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL world. Patrick has previously emphasized his desire to let his children pursue their own interests rather than pressuring them toward athletics.
“I’m going to teach my son, my daughter all the fundamentals and whatever they want to learn,” he told Football in America in October 2022. “But at the same time … I want to let it be about them.”
The couple's focus is currently on the health of the pregnancy, though it is unclear if the "Super Bowl pregnancy luck" will continue. “Obviously, it’s a blessing to have another baby on the way. I’m excited for it,” Mahomes said.
