Chiefs coach Andy Reid offers serious advice to Patrick Mahomes amid the birth of his third child
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to prove that he can handle life’s biggest challenges with ease. From leading his team to NFL greatness to growing his family, Mahomes has mastered balancing his personal and professional commitments. Recently, his head coach, Andy Reid, shared some humorous yet insightful parenting advice, adding a unique twist to their dynamic relationship.
Mahomes Welcomes Baby No. 3 at the Perfect Time
On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, celebrated the arrival of their third child, a daughter named Golden Raye Mahomes. Golden joins her siblings, Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick Lavon III (nicknamed “Bronze”), who is 2. The timing couldn’t have been better for the Mahomes family, as the Kansas City Chiefs had a bye week during the wild card round. This allowed the family to focus on the birth without the pressures of a playoff game.
Despite this personal milestone, Mahomes still found time for football. He watched playoff games over the weekend, showcasing his dedication to the sport while embracing his new role as father of three. His ability to juggle fatherhood and his NFL career continues to set him apart.
Andy Reid’s Playful Parenting Advice: “Add a Couple More”
When asked about Mahomes’ ability to balance fatherhood and football, Andy Reid offered both praise and some playful advice. “He does great with it,” Reid said before adding, “Once you have three, four and five are easy. That’s what I told him. You made three, add a couple more, and we’ll talk.”
As a father of five himself, Reid spoke from experience—albeit with his signature humor. His suggestion reflects the camaraderie between the coach and his star quarterback. However, Mahomes appears content with his current family size. “We’re good with three for right now,” he said. “We’ll see down the line maybe, but my goal was always three. We’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.”
This lighthearted moment highlights the mutual respect and rapport between the two leaders, even as Mahomes focuses on balancing his growing family with his demanding NFL career.
Mahomes’ Sights Set on Super Bowl History
While Mahomes may not be planning to expand his family soon, there’s one collection he’s eager to grow: his Super Bowl rings. With two championships already under his belt, Mahomes and the Chiefs are working toward making history as the first team in the Super Bowl era to achieve a three-peat.
As the Chiefs prepare to face the Houston Texans in the divisional round, Mahomes remains laser-focused on his goal of leading the team to another title. His ability to manage the pressures of being a father and a football star has cemented his status as a true leader both on and off the field.
The Chiefs’ dominance in the NFL, coupled with Mahomes’ consistent excellence, has positioned them as strong contenders to achieve this historic feat. For Mahomes, balancing these dual roles isn’t just about personal success—it’s about leaving a legacy for his family and his team.
