Kansas City Chiefs Subtly Honor Patrick Mahomes’ New Baby Ahead of NFL Playoff Game

The Kansas City Chiefs gave a subtle nod to the Mahomes family and their newest addition ahead of the team’s first NFL playoff game of the season.

“QB1’s looking Golden,” the Chiefs posted on X on Saturday, January 18. The post featured video of starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes arriving at Arrowhead Stadium as the team prepares to take on the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, responded to the sweet tribute, re-sharing the OG post in her Instagram Story while writing, “The caption” along with one big eyed and one ugly crying emoji.

Earlier this week, on Monday, January 13, Patrick and Brittany announced the birth of their third child. The pair also shared her unique name.

“•Golden Raye Mahomes• 1/12/25🎀✨the pair captioned the joint Instagram post, sharing a black-and-white photo of the couple holding their newborn daughter’s feet. The couple, who tied the knot in March 2022, are already parents of daughter Sterling and son Bronze, who arrived in February 2021 and November 2022, respectively.

Multiple celebrities quickly took to the comments section to congratulate the couple, including Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift, who “liked” the post.

“Uncle jack loves her so much already,” Patrick’s brother, Jack Mahomes, wrote in his own Instagram story, reposting the pair’s announcement photo set to Swift’s song, “Daylight.”

“Today was awesome getting to meet you sweet Golden! Can’t wait for the memories to come! You have the BEST PARENTS EVER,” he continued in the post. “And best uncle.”

Kelce and big brother — and retired Philadelphia Eagles center — Jason Kelce also congratulated the couple via their “Great Heights” podcast’s Instagram account.

The proud mom recently gave fans an inside look into Golden’s nursery via an Instagram post shared on Thursday, January 16.

“When I found out I was having a baby girl, my mind immediately went to pink for the nursery,” she explained. “I really wanted to go very warm and pink with Golden’s nursery. And then obviously tying in the gold just to go with her name was really where we got most of the inspiration for her room.”

While the Chiefs made it a point to shout out Golden’s arrival as the team prepared for their first playoff game of the year, new mom Brittany was MIA (and understandably so, considering she just had a baby). Her BFF, Swift, was in attendance, however — the pop star arrived at the divisional playoff game wearing a chic black minidress with a pearl Chanel belt and a matching checked jacket. She completed her look with a coordinating Chanel handbag and her signature red lip.

Earlier this week, Kelce confirmed that Swift would be in the stands. “You know it, baby,” he said during the Monday, January 13, episode of ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “You know it’s playoff football, man.”

Kelce also made a reference to one of Swift’s most popular lyrics while sharing his excitement for the game. “I’m feeling fired up,” he noted. “I’m feeling 22 all over again, baby. Let’s go.”
