Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, have another baby on the way, and the announcement may come as a surprise to some NFL fans who remember what the couple previously said about expanding their little family. 

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife shared the exciting news via Instagram on Tuesday, Nov. 10, revealing that they're expecting their fourth child. 

"Another blessing from God🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6🤍," the couple, who are already parents to three children – Sterling, Bronze, and Golden – captioned the post.

The NFL quarterback and his wife included a carousel of heartwarming photos posing with their three children. 

In one photo, Patrick and the kids rested their hands on Brittany's tiny baby bump in the sand, as Brittany smiled down at Sterling, 5, Patrick, 3, and Golden, 1.

In another snap, Brittany held baby Golden in her arms, while Patrick and their oldest children stood beside them. 

Friends and family were quick to comment on the exciting baby announcement.

Patrick's mother, Randi Mahomes, was one of the first to leave a message, writing, "I cannot wait!! Congratulations love yall ❤️❤️❤️❤️."

Patrick's brother, Jackson Mahomes, also left a sweet message that read, "Woohoooo! Uncle jack cant wait."

Meanwhile, Bronco quarterback Jarrett Stidham's wife, Kennedy Stidham, wrote, "CONGRATS YALL 🫶🏼." 

The Chiefs, NFL and "New Heights" official Instagram accounts also got in on the excitement, sharing their own congratulatory messages. 

The couple's pregnancy announcement comes less than two years after they welcomed their youngest child, Golden Raye, in January 2025.

What Brittany Mahomes said about having more children

While the Mahomes family is clearly overjoyed about their newest addition, both Patrick and Brittany previously suggested that they were happy with three children, at least for a little while. 

During a July 2025 appearance on the "WHOOP" podcast, Brittany opened up about motherhood and whether or not she and Patrick planned on expanding their family. 

At the time, the NFL WAG was still adjusting to life with three children under five. 

"We're done. We're done for a while," Brittany said. "I mean, I feel like you can never say you're done, but I think three is all I need."

Brittany admitted that her third pregnancy wasn't easy on her, as she had to chase after two little ones while she didn't feel the greatest. 

During a 2025 press conference, Patrick echoed his wife's statement when asked if he would consider having a fourth child. 

"I'm good with three right now," he told reporters at the time. 

Apparently, the couple have since changed their mind and will soon become a family of six. 

The couple has yet to reveal if baby No. 4 will be a boy or girl. Or if they'll stick to their precious metal baby name trend with this one.
