Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are preparing for life as a future party of six.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife announced in November 2026 that they are expecting baby No. 4 after Patrick once declared the pair were “done” expanding their family after three kids.
Patrick and Brittany met in high school and began dating in 2012, staying together as Patrick rose through the ranks after being drafted by the Chiefs in 2017. The pair tied the knot in March 2022 in Maui, Hawaii, two years after welcoming daughter Sterling. They later added son Bronze and daughter Golden in 2022 and 2025, respectively.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Announce Her Pregnancy With Baby No. 4
Patrick and Brittany shared the news that their fourth baby is on the way with a joint Instagram post in November 2026, featuring a beach photo of their eldest three kids gathered around Brittany with their hands on her belly.
“Another blessing from God,” the couple captioned their announcement. “& then there were 6🤍.”
As their post drew plenty of cheers in the comment section, one social media user pointed out that Patrick previously thought three was his limit.
“I thought Patrick said he was done after the last one,” the message read, to which Patrick replied, “ayyy chill chill,” adding three laughing-crying emojis.
The exchange sparked a back-and-forth in the comments, with one fan writing, “People are allowed to change their minds,” and another adding, “Words said by almost every parent.”
Patrick previously declared he was “done” having kids during a July 2024 Kansas City Chiefs training camp press conference, where he stated, “I’m done. I’ll say that. I did three and I’m done.”
Patrick Mahomes Hopes to ‘Even Up the Score’ With Another Son
“Obviously it’s a blessing to have another baby on the way. I’m excited for it,” Patrick said during a November 11, 2026, press conference, the day after announcing Brittany’s pregnancy. “I’m hoping that me and Bronze can even up the score.”
But while he may have a route he’s aiming for, Patrick noted he would be just as happy with another little girl. As he put it, “I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.”
Patrick Mahomes Left the Door Open After Golden’s Arrival
Just days after Brittany gave birth to daughter Golden in January 2025, Patrick Mahomes was already fielding questions about whether another baby was in the cards.
“[I’m] good with three [kids] for right now. My goal was always three, so we’ve had three,” he said in a press conference. “We’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.”
When asked whether a fourth could happen down the line, Patrick didn’t rule it out — saying “maybe” was on the table.
Days later, at another press conference following the Chiefs’ divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans, he joked, “It’s a growing family, but [I] hope we are done growing for a little while.”
Brittany Mahomes Thought 3 Was Her Magic Number
Brittany echoed a similar sentiment on a June 2025 episode of the “Whoops” podcast.
“We’re done, we’re done for a while,” she noted. “I don’t know. I mean, I feel like you can never say you’re done. I think three is all I need.”
A Lot of Work Balancing Football and Fatherhood
Patrick has repeatedly spoken about the behind-the-scenes effort required to juggle NFL stardom with family life.
In Netflix’s 2023 Quarterback docuseries, he said, “Everybody sees the game days. They don’t see the day-to-day grind. They don’t see how you have to manage playing football and being a dad and being a husband.”
He continued, “It’s football. You’re gonna have highs. You’re gonna have the lows. You put so much into this that you want to win, you want to succeed. And you want to win that Super Bowl at the end of the year. But I have to be a dad too. I have to be a husband.”
Patrick has also credited growing up in locker rooms — watching his dad, Patrick Mahomes Sr., play baseball — for shaping his desire to start a family young.
