Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, are expecting their fourth child. The couple announced the news on Tuesday, November 10, in a joint Instagram post featuring beachside family photographs with their three children.

“Another blessing from God & then there were 6,” Brittany captioned the post, alongside a teary-eyed emoji and a prayer-hands emoji. In the photographs, the family poses on a beach in coordinated white outfits, with Patrick and the children placing their hands on Brittany’s baby bump.

A Family Announcement on the Beach

The announcement photos show the Mahomes family of five together on the sand, smiling as their children gather around their mother. In the final image of the carousel, the three children touch Brittany’s stomach as she looks down and smiles.

People magazine confirmed the pregnancy on November 10, and ESPN reported the couple’s caption, as coverage of the announcement spread across sports and entertainment outlets. The couple has not announced a due date, and they have not revealed the baby’s sex or a name.

The baby will be a younger sibling to daughter Sterling Skye, 5, son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 3, and daughter Golden Raye, who was born in January 2025. Patrick and Brittany, both 31, have been married since 2022.

What Patrick Mahomes Said the Next Day

Mahomes addressed the news at a press conference on Wednesday, November 11, when a reporter congratulated him on the new addition.

“Obviously, I’ve known for a while. So, it wasn’t like I just learned about it,” Mahomes said. “But I appreciate it. Thank you. Obviously, it’s a blessing. So, to have another baby on the way, I’m excited for it. I’m hoping that me and Bronze can even up the score. But I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.”

A Big Day for the Chiefs

The announcement landed on the NFL trade deadline, and the Chiefs were active, acquiring wide receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts sent Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Kansas City in exchange for 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks. Mahomes picked up a new receiver and a new family member on the same day.

The announcement also revived a pattern Chiefs fans have tracked for years. As EssentiallySports noted, the Chiefs reached the Super Bowl in the season that followed each of the couple’s three previous pregnancy announcements, including their run to Super Bowl LIX after Golden was born.

Why This Matters

For Chiefs fans, the news is another chapter in the story of the franchise’s most important player. Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl champion, has built his career in Kansas City while his family has grown alongside it. For celebrity watchers, it is one of the biggest family stories of the year: Avril Lavigne welcomed her first child, a baby girl, on Friday, and Sam Hartman was named the next Bachelor in a surprise ABC reveal, but the Mahomes announcement stands apart for the way it blends the NFL season with a family milestone. Mahomes had previously suggested that three children might be enough, though he later left the door open to a fourth. The November 10 announcement settled the question.
