Patrick Mahomes is hoping for another son to "even up the score" after confirming his fourth child is on the way.
Patrick Mahomes is hoping for another son to "even up the score".
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and wife Brittany revealed earlier this week they were expecting their fourth child - a sibling for Sterling, five, Patrick, aka Bronze, three, and 21-month-old Golden - and while he insisted his sole concern is that the tot is "healthy", he admitted he and his little boy are hoping there will be another male addition to the household.
Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday (11.11.26), he said: “Obviously it’s a blessing to have another baby on the way. I’m excited for it.
"I’m hoping that me and Bronze can even up the score...
“I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.”
And the sportsman is hoping for further success for his team this year after a reporter pointed out that every time the couple have announced they are expecting a baby, the Chiefs have won a Super Bowl.
He laughed: “I’m hoping. I don’t know if Brittany is. But I’m hoping if we can keep that going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way, that’d be awesome for sure.”
Patrick and Brittany, both 31, revealed their baby news earlier this week.
The couple shared a joint Instagram post featuring a family photoshoot on the beach, which was captioned: “Another blessing from God [teary face and praying emojis] and then there were 6 [white heart emoji]. (sic)"
Patrick previously pledged to "stay out of the way" of his children's sporting interests.
He told Football in America back in 2022: “I’m going to teach my son, my daughter all the fundamentals and whatever they want to learn.
“But at the same time ... I want to let it be about them ... That’s what my dad did growing up, that’s what my parents did. They didn’t pressure me to do anything. I think that’s why I’m in the position I am today.”
Last month, he revealed Bronze "loves" playing tackle football at home and during bye weeks, he doesn't get as much rest as he used to because his children keep him busy.
He said during a press conference: “The only thing that’s changed is chasing kids around more.
"As they get older, it’s not as much laying around and not doing anything. You’re home now. You’re dad. So you have to be around. You have to chase kids around. Bronze loves to play tackle now.”
Meanwhile, Brittany recently reflected on how her family are always at the heart of her decision-making.
She told Yahoo! Entertainment: "When you become a mom, you learn to say no to things that aren't as important and focus on what's best for your life and your family.
"Keeping my eyes and my mind and my focus on my family and the things that matter the most.
"Everything I do now is connected to creating more opportunities and creating a future that my children can be proud of.”
The Kansas City Current co-owner has found motherhood has “reshaped and redefined” most aspects of her life.
She added: "It's made me more intentional, more purposeful and honestly, more motivated to keep going and keep showing my kids that there are no boundaries in front of you.
"You can achieve anything. You can be a part of anything that you want to. You need to dream big and understand that you have to work hard and do the hard things to do the fun things."
