Patrick Mahomes and girlfriend Brittany Matthews are the proud parents to a new puppy. The couple announced the news on their dog Steel’s Instagram page, which has now been adjusted to include his new brother, Silver, in the username.
“Just my dad telling me HE WON MVP & that IM GONNA BE A BIG BROTHER????,” the Instagram post noted with a picture of Steel’s new little brother Silver.
Here’s a look at Silver, the newest addition to the family.
Mahomes noted that the couple was planning on getting another dog after the season, but Matthews decided to get a puppy a little sooner.
“It was a joint decision,” Mahomes said per The Wichita Eagle. “She definitely wanted it…I was trying to wait until the offseason, but she wanted to get it up here quickly. We’ve actually had it for a couple of weeks. It was getting trained and everything. We’ll have it this weekend, introduce him to Steel and hopefully that goes over smoothly.”

Mahomes Was Afraid of Dogs Prior to Steel
Mahomes admitted to being afraid of dogs when he was growing up. Now, Steel has become a part of the family. The couple is looking to use their platform to educate people about pit bulls.
“Just trying to show the world that not all of my breed is “mean & aggressive”w/ my little sister by my side❤️,” the dog’s Instagram profile reads.
“Until I was in high school [was afraid of dogs],” Mahomes told The Kansas City Star. “Then I went straight to a pit bull…He’s an awesome dog, very loving, very energetic, so just having him, he’s like my best friend. It’s a great dog to have.”
