How Patrick Mahomes Wants to "Even the Score" With Baby No. 4

Brittany Mahomes Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 4 With Husband Patrick MahomesPatrick Mahomes knows who he wants to draft to his team. The day after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife Brittany Mahomes announced they are expecting their fourth baby, he admitted he’d love to see another boy join him and 3-year-old son Bronze in the huddle. “Obviously it’s a blessing to have another baby on the way. I’m excited for it,” Patrick said during a Nov. 11 press conference. “I’m hoping that me and Bronze can even up the score.” But while he may have a route he’s aiming for, the 31-year-old—also dad to daughters Sterling, 5, and Golden, 21 months, with Brittany—would be just as happy with a baby girl. As he put it, “I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.” Meanwhile, the three-time Super Bowl champ sees his expanding family roster as motivation to continue growing his football team’s winning record this season. “I’m hoping that we can keep that [success] going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way,” Patrick added. “That’d be awesome, for sure.” While the athlete has certainly found success on the field since being drafted in the first round by the Chiefs in 2017, he has explained that his role as quarterback to his kids has improved his game play.

"You learn how to try to really boost people’s confidence, especially your kids,” Patrick added. “Through seasons like I’ve had this last year, it’s never losing hope, never going too negative in adverse times. Just continue to boost people’s confidence, continue to strive for hard work and really be patient." Keep reading for a closer look at Patrick and Brittany’s sweetest moments with their squad.
