I have the pleasure of sharing an incredibly adorable video that gives us a peek into the Mahomes family dynamics. Patrick Mahomes’ 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye has strong opinions when it comes to anyone trying to tackle her superstar quarterback dad.
Mom Brittany Mahomes shared a sweet Instagram Story where the toddler shared her thoughts on opposing NFL players trying to steal the ball from her dad during Kansas City Chiefs games.Mom Brittany Mahomes shared a sweet Instagram Story where the toddler shared her thoughts on opposing NFL players trying to steal the ball from her dad during Kansas City Chiefs games.
“What’s so rude of them?” In the clip, Brittany questioned Sterling as the adorable little girl sat in her pajamas, seemingly ready for bed. “If they take the ball from Daddy and score a touchdown by themselves, that means they’re so rude [sic],” Sterling replied, with a hint of toddler sass.
Brittany shared the quote alongside several crying-laughing emojis, clearly amused by her daughter’s passionate defense of her dad. Sterling and her younger brother Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 23 months, are regulars at their dad’s games. The family-focused Mahomes clan will soon have another little cheerleader to bring to the stadium, as Brittany is expecting the couple’s third child—another baby girl.
This isn’t the first time Patrick’s kids have made adorable appearances related to his NFL career. During the Chiefs’ game against the New Orleans Saints on October 7, the 29-year-old Super Bowl champion had a sweet message for his daughter as he closed out his ESPN interview.
“Hey, Sterling, go to bed!” he told the camera with a smile. The Mahomes children weren’t in attendance for the team’s latest victory on Monday Night Football, when the Chiefs defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24 in overtime. But that didn’t stop Sterling from sharing her thoughts on any players who might try to take the ball from her dad.
It’s clear the Mahomes kids have a special connection to their dad’s football career. And they aren’t afraid to defend him, even against the league’s top defensive players. Pop superstar Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Patrick’s teammate Travis Kelce, was present in the building to support her partner. The 34-year-old singer turned heads in a vintage-style Chiefs leather jacket and knee-high Christian Louboutin boots. Swift has become quickly friends with the Mahomes family, and Patrick recently revealed that her baked goods are a hit in their household.
“Sterling’s a big baker as well, so they make some stuff together sometimes,” the NFL star said in a recent interview. “I’m not going to say I don’t eat them.” With a league full of well-paid professionals all out to get Mahomes and the Chiefs, he can take solace knowing he’s got an ally at home willing to call them out for their “rude” behavior. And based on the team’s perfect 8-0 record so far this season, it seems Patrick is doing just fine holding onto the ball himself.
The Mahomes family’s adorable antics are just the latest example of how Patrick’s superstar status extends beyond the football field. As he continues to cement his legacy as one of the game’s all-time greats, it’s clear his most important job is being a devoted dad to his growing brood.
