Ryan Fitzpatrick takes light-hearted jab at Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' family planning

On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany welcomed their third baby, a daughter, whom they named Golden Raye. Known to use names of metals, the family choosing this name wasn't a surprise.

During a press conference, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid shared his thoughts on the number of children the QB has.

​

"Once you have 3, 4 and 5 are easy. That's what I told him ... You made 3, add a couple more, we'll talk," Reid said.

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick responded to Reid's comments while taking a playful jab at the Mahomes family.

​

"I agree with Andy’s assessment but the issue for the Mahomies isn’t having more it’s the fact that they are running out of precious metals to name their kids. I feel bad for Bronze," Fitzpatrick said.

As of now, the family has two dogs named Steel and Silver, along with their two older children, Sterling Skye and Bronze. All are named after metals.

Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany had her children's names a long time ago

As mentioned, the family has the habit of naming their children after different metals. In fact, Brittany had previously decided the name of her first daughter and so on.

In a previous Q&A session on Instagram, Brittany revealed her plan and reasoning behind doing so.

​

"I got Steel in college and named him that," she wrote. "We then got our second dog and were gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect. Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter's name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.

"Then daughter came & we were already set on Sterling. Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect."
