Brittany Mahomes expecting fourth child after Instagram post

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and a co-owner of the NWSL’s Kansas City Current, announced Tuesday evening, Nov. 10, 2026, that the couple is expecting their fourth child. The news arrived via a joint Instagram post from both of their accounts that included beach photos of the family and the caption, “Another blessing from God” and “& then there were 6.” The announcement was widely picked up by local and national outlets, including The Kansas City Star, KCTV5, KMBC, and Page Six.

The couple did not share a due date, and no additional details—such as the baby’s sex or name—were included in the post. In the photos, Patrick is seen touching Brittany’s baby bump. The upload was shared from both of their Instagram accounts as a joint post.

How did Brittany Mahomes announce the pregnancy?

Brittany and Patrick shared the news in a coordinated Instagram post on Tuesday evening. The joint upload featured a series of beach photos with the family and a short, faith-forward caption: “Another blessing from God” followed by “& then there were 6.” Coverage from The Kansas City Star, KCTV5, KMBC, and Page Six all confirmed the details of the joint post, the family setting on the beach, and the caption language. The couple did not include timing details such as a due date.

How many kids do Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have?

The couple has three children. Their first, daughter Sterling Skye, was born in February 2021. Their second, son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, arrived in November 2022. Their third child, daughter Golden Raye, was born Jan. 12, 2025. Those details are confirmed by local reporting from KCTV5, KMBC, and The Kansas City Star. With Tuesday’s announcement, the family says “& then there were 6.”

Didn’t Patrick Mahomes say three was enough?

Shortly after Golden Raye was born in January 2025, Patrick told reporters on Jan. 14, 2025: “I’m good with three for right now. We’ll see down the line, maybe, but my goal was always three.” That exchange was covered by KMBC and E! News. At the time, Chiefs coach Andy Reid joked, “Once you have three, four and five are easy,” as reported by KCTV5. Tuesday’s announcement marks a new chapter for the family.

Who is Brittany Mahomes?

Brittany (née Matthews) is Patrick’s high school sweetheart. The pair met at Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas—he was a sophomore and she a junior—before their college years took Brittany to the University of Texas at Tyler to play soccer and Patrick to Texas Tech to play football and baseball. Their relationship timeline, documented by People, includes a September 2020 engagement and a March 12, 2022 wedding in Hawaii. Brittany became a part-owner of the Kansas City Current, then an NWSL expansion team, in 2020; Patrick joined the ownership group in January 2023, becoming the first active NFL player with equity in an NWSL club, per a Kansas City Current announcement on Jan. 10, 2023.

How is Patrick Mahomes’ elbow?

It has been a better-than-feared week for the Chiefs quarterback. On Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, Mahomes injured his right (throwing) elbow late in the first half when Jets edge rusher David Bailey hit his arm. He returned to play, and Kansas City beat New York 35–12; Mahomes finished 23 of 31 for 242 yards and two touchdowns, according to ESPN and The Kansas City Star. A postgame MRI showed no significant damage, and the injury was diagnosed as an elbow strain/sprain, per CBS Sports and the Star. On Monday, Nov. 9, coach Andy Reid said Mahomes was “day-to-day” and called it “more positive news than negative news,” reported by NBC Sports/ProFootballTalk. The Chiefs’ next game is Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Atlanta Falcons, per ESPN and CBS Sports. The Star framed Tuesday’s baby news as the best development of Mahomes’ week following the encouraging injury update.
