IN PHOTOS: Patrick Mahomes, wife Brittany reveal the gender of their third child
Patrick Mahomes is welcoming another girl to his family. His wife Brittany made the announcement on Tuesday via an Instagram post of themselves, eldest daughter Sterling Skye and middle son Patrick Lavon III aka Bronze during their baby shower.
In the video below, Sterling unfurls three straight pink X's, confirming the gender of the baby. Then, to emphasize the point further, pink smoke and confetti emerges:
Over on X/Twitter, a fan suggested alluding to the couple's friend (and international superstar) Taylor Swift for the baby's name. And of course, if they are continuing the trend they did with their older kids, the name has to include a metal.
The Kansas City Star columnist Pete Grathoff expanded on that fan's suggestion, and listed seven possible metals that the couple could use:
- Goldie
- Ruthenium - shortened to Ruth or Ruthie
- Mercury
- Nickel
- Platinum
- Magnesium - shortened to Maggie
- Aluminum - shortened to Lumi or Minnie
Patrick Mahomes done with having children after second daughter is born
If Patrick Mahomes is to be asked, Daughter No. 2 will be the last. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback said this to the media during training camp last week:
"I’m done. I said three and I’m done. I always wanted to have kids young. I got to grow up in the locker room, and it made such an impact in my life... And Brittany does a great job of doing that and we still go out and enjoy our life, and let our kids see these great things.”
Still, the Mahomeses plan to be as dedicated to raising this child as they have been to Sterling and Bronze. In an exclusive interview for SheKnows this March, Brittany said that she greatly enjoys motherhood.
"I love being a mom. I think I’ve been called to be a mom ever since I was little. Just seeing my kids grow up, and the things that they’re learning, and the things that they’re taking from their dad... When we have first experiences with them, taking them somewhere, seeing them happy and lit up and in good spirits when we do stuff, (it) is probably the biggest thing that I enjoy,” she said.
She also discussed each child's interests. According to her, Sterling is more of a playground child who prefers to mingle with her friends. Bronze, meanwhile, has seemingly taken after his father as he leans more toward sports like football and basketball.
The newest addition to the Mahomes family is estimated to be due in February 2025.
