Mahomes Shares Heartbreaking Update About Third Child, Revealing Why He Never Posts Her Photos on Social Media

Kansas City, MO – On March 11, 2025, during a brief interview with the press ahead of the NFL free agency period, Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes opened up about a tender family matter involving his third child with wife Brittany Mahomes. Fans have long noticed the absence of photos or mentions of the baby on social media, and Mahomes’ emotional revelation has shed light on the couple’s decision, tugging at the heartstrings of Chiefs supporters.

Mahomes disclosed that their third child, a baby girl born in November 2024, encountered a small but unsettling health challenge shortly after birth. “She had a slight allergy to regular formula,” Mahomes shared, his voice softening. “It wasn’t anything life-threatening, but it hit us hard as parents. Brittany and I had to scramble to find the right formula, and it left us wanting to shield her from everything for a little while.”

Unlike their older children—Sterling Skye, 4, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 2—who often star in cheerful family posts on Instagram, Mahomes explained that they chose to keep their youngest daughter out of the public eye to give her a peaceful beginning. “We didn’t want her to face any extra attention or stress from social media while she’s so young, especially after that scare,” he said.

A Protective Decision
The choice underscores the love and caution Mahomes and Brittany pour into their parenting. As one of the NFL’s most celebrated families, they’ve delighted fans with glimpses of Sterling and Bronze—whether at Chiefs games or on family adventures. But for their third child, Mahomes said they felt a need to draw a gentle boundary.

“Brittany kept saying every kid is unique, and with her, it just felt different,” he said, offering a faint smile. “Maybe when she’s bigger and past this, we’ll share her with the world. Right now, we just want to keep her safe and let her grow quietly.”

Fans Rally Around Mahomes
The update rippled through social media, with Chiefs fans expressing sympathy and admiration. One X user posted, “Mahomes is breaking my heart in the best way—he’s such a good dad. Praying for his little girl.” Another wrote, “That’s tough to hear, but I get why he’s protecting her. Chiefs Kingdom loves you, Pat!”

While the situation isn’t dire, Mahomes’ vulnerability has struck a chord, offering a glimpse into the human side of a football icon. It’s a quiet reminder that even MVPs face tender moments of worry.

Focused on Family and Football
Despite the personal challenges, Mahomes emphasized his dedication to the Chiefs as they rebuild for the 2025 season. “My family means everything, but so does this team,” he said. “We’re putting in the work to bounce back stronger after the Super Bowl.”

With a fresh two-year, $30M deal for offensive tackle Jaylon Moore and other key offseason moves, the Chiefs are poised for a comeback. For now, Mahomes’ heartfelt story only deepens the bond between him and Chiefs Kingdom, who see him as both a gridiron hero and a father with a heart of gold.
