Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a playful response after a fan reminded him that he previously said he was finished having children.
Mahomes, 31, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, 31, announced on Tuesday, November 10, that they are expecting their fourth child. The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post featuring their three children, Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden, 21 months.
“Another blessing from God🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6🤍,” the couple captioned the photos.
However, one fan remembered that the Chiefs quarterback had previously declared he was done expanding his family.
“I thought Patrick said he was done after the last one,” the fan commented.
Mahomes responded directly to the comment, writing, “ayyy chill chill,” followed by three laughing-crying emojis.
Other fans quickly joined the conversation.
“People are allowed to change their minds,” one person wrote.
“Words said by almost every parent,” another added.
Patrick Mahomes Previously Said He Was ‘Done’ Having Children
The fan was referring to comments Mahomes made in July 2024, when Brittany was pregnant with their third child.
Speaking to reporters, the quarterback made it clear that he believed three children would be enough.
“I’m done. I’ll say that. I did three and I’m done,” Mahomes said at the time, according to the Associated Press.
Brittany gave birth to their youngest daughter, Golden, in January 2025.
Mahomes wasn’t the only one who previously expressed reservations about having more children.
During a June 2025 appearance on the “Whoops” podcast, Brittany discussed whether she and her husband planned to expand their family again.
“We’re done, we’re done for a while. I don’t know. I mean, I feel like you can never say you’re done. I think three is all I need,” she said.
The couple’s latest announcement comes less than two years after they welcomed Golden.
In the Instagram photos, their three children gathered around Brittany on a beach and placed their hands on her baby bump.
