Brittany Mahomes Compliments Husband Patrick as He Braids Daughter Sterling’s Hair: ‘Crushing It’

Patrick Mahomes is a man of many talents on and off the field.

On Monday, Dec. 2, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 29, got a shout-out from his wife, Brittany Mahomes, after being able to braid their 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye’s hair with ease.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 29, showed off Patrick’s talents in a sweet Instagram Stories post that gave a glimpse of him in action.

“@patrickmahomes crushing his braiding skills 😂,” wrote Brittany over the photo that showed the athlete completing a loose braid on his daughter’s long, blonde hair.

It’s no surprise that Patrick is sharpening up his hair-braiding skills as he and his wife, who are also parents to 2-year-old Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes II, are expecting their third baby together. The new baby is a girl, the couple announced in a joint Instagram post on July 19.

The couple found out about the baby’s sex by having their daughter Sterling play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, revealing three pink Xs in a row.

Following the special moment, pink smoke and matching confetti fell from the air as Sterling held up a “big sister” flag.

That same month, Patrick revealed during a press conference why he wanted to start his family at a young age.

“I always wanted to have kids young. I got to grow up in the locker room, I think I’ve talked about it before — it made such an impact in my life, so I wanted to have kids young,” Patrick, whose father is a retired MLB pitcher, said.

Noting that Brittany “does a great job” of being a wife and a mother, he said that the two still “go out and enjoy our life and let our kids see these great things.”
