Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Preparing for Major Life Update on Sunday

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are enjoying a first-round postseason bye this weekend as the AFC's No. 1 seed.

This well-deserved break comes at an ideal time for Mahomes and his family.

Last week, the superstar NFL quarterback revealed that his wife, Brittany, is expected to give birth to their third child on Sunday. If she doesn't go into labor on Sunday, she'll be induced on Monday.

"No one happier to get back to KC than Patrick Mahomes. He told me his wife Brittany is due to give birth to their 3rd child on Sunday. If she doesn’t give birth by then she will be induced Monday. There was def extra motivation for Patrick to get that bye week!" NFL insider Tracy Wolfson reported on X after the Chiefs' Week 18 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Mahomes was fully aware of Brittany's bye-week due date throughout the 2024 NFL regular season.

"Brittany says I've been stressing her out too much this season," Mahomes said during an interview before the Chiefs' Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. "So, I gotta try to not put so much stress on her through these football games and get the bye.

"Hopefully, God works the right way and maybe we can have the baby on the bye week somewhere and then everything will work out perfectly."

Patrick and Brittany already have two children: Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick "Bronze" Lavon, 2.

Brittany posted her final maternity photos on Instagram earlier this week.

"Hello 2025. We’re ready for you little one," she wrote as the caption.

Mahomes and the Chiefs earned the AFC's No. 1 seed with an impressive 15-2 regular-season record. The reigning Super Bowl champions will face off against the Houston Texans in a divisional-round matchup at Arrowhead Stadium next weekend.
