Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has revealed that his wife, Brittany, is set to give birth to their third child this weekend.  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for the NFL superstar, as the Chiefs secured the No.1 seed in the AFC, giving them a first-round bye. This means Mahomes can welcome his new baby without missing a beat in his playoff preparations.
The Mahomes household is buzzing with excitement as they prepare to expand their family. Brittany’s due date is this Sunday, during the Chiefs’ bye week. If the baby doesn’t arrive naturally, Brittany will be induced on Monday. This season, Mahomes has been vocal about his hope for the timing to align with the playoff schedule.
Ahead of the Chiefs’ Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes shared: “Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season. So, I gotta try to not put so much stress on her through these football games and get the bye. “Hopefully, God works the right way, and maybe we can have the baby on the bye week somewhere and then everything will work out perfectly.” Mahomes’ hope for the stars to align has paid off, giving him precious family time before the divisional round.

A Balancing Act for Mahomes
Patrick and Brittany, already parents to Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, 2, are no strangers to managing a bustling household alongside a demanding NFL career. This new addition is set to add more joy-and more responsibility-to their lives. Yet, Mahomes remains focused on his dual roles as a father and a football leader.
The Chiefs, who will face the winner of the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans wild-card game, are gearing up for a critical playoff push. With Mahomes fully present for his family during this milestone, fans can rest assured he’ll return to the field ready to lead Kansas City’s Super Bowl aspirations.
For now, the Mahomes family is cherishing these special moments. Whether Sunday or Monday, the arrival of their third child marks a significant milestone, perfectly timed with a much-needed break in the action. It’s safe to say that Patrick Mahomes is kicking off 2025 on a high note-on and off the field.
