Brittany Mahomes and Kids Support Husband Patrick Mahomes at Preseason Game: ‘When They See Their Dad’

Patrick Mahomes’ entire family hit the gridiron for the Kansas City Chiefs’ first preseason game of the year.

His wife, Brittany Mahomes, 30, shared an adorable carousel of photos from her visit to the sidelines with all three children — Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden, 1 — at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Saturday, August 15. The three little ones split their time between cheering for their dad and posing for some unforgettable family photos.

“Their faces when they see their dad 🥹🫶🏼 …and bronze yawning is just the best,” Brittany beamed in her Instagram caption.

The NFL also captured a sweet moment where Patrick greeted his wife and kids on the sidelines during the Chiefs’ preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

Patrick didn’t actually get any playing time in Saturday’s game — which ended with the Rams beating the Chiefs, 20-12 — because of Coach Andy Reid’s concerns over the quarterback’s knee injury.

The athlete suffered a season-ending torn ACL and LCL in his left leg during the Chiefs’ December 14, 2025, game against the Los Angeles Chargers. While he was able to limp off the field, Patrick underwent surgery later that month to begin his long road to recovery.

During the offseason, Patrick opened up to reporters at a January press conference about the impact of his injury on his parenting responsibilities.

“The kids understand that dad can’t necessarily be the dad that I usually am throwing them around the couches and stuff like that,” he acknowledged.

He credited his “great wife” Brittany for being “able to keep me involved” with their three children while he was focusing on his physical rehabilitation.

By the time the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp started this summer, Patrick reiterated his goal of returning for the 2026-2027 season opener. (The Chiefs kick off the regular season against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14.)

“[My recovery] is going good. It’s a long process,” Mahomes said on Yahoo! Sports Daily on July 15. “I think that’s what I’ve learned throughout this entire thing. All I can do is be as great as I can be every single day. You just have to maximize that day and then slowly get better and better as the year goes on.”

He went on, “We’ve had a great recovery program going these last few months and we’re in a good spot. Now it’s just about trying to continue to do that so that I’m ready to go whenever the season comes around.”

Meanwhile, Saturday’s Chiefs preseason gave the world its first official look at Patrick’s teammate Travis Kelce’s wedding band following his July 3 marriage to Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The jaw-dropping gold wedding band was the perfect accessory to Kelce’s black-and-orange tie-dye two-piece, black sunglasses and metallic watch as he entered Arrowhead Stadium. (Like Patrick, Kelce, 36, was held out of Saturday’s preseason game as a health precaution.)
