Correlation does not imply causation, but that won't stop Kansas City Chiefs fans from pinning their Super Bowl hopes on Patrick Mahomes' growing family.
The three-time Super Bowl MVP's wife Brittany is now pregnant with their fourth child, and as several Chiefs supporters were quick to point out on X, her previous three pregnancies all included a trip to the Super Bowl.
Brittany was pregnant with daughter Sterling Skye, son Bronze and daughter Golden Raye during Super Bowls in 2021, 2023 and 2025, respectively. Of course, Kansas City has reached five Super Bowls since the start of the 2019 season, so the odds of Brittany being pregnant at the biggest spectacle in sports were favorable to say the least.
'I’m going to need them to have around 10 more kids,' one fan joked on X.
It wasn't just fans who noticed the trend. Even Patrick admitted to banking on another Super Bowl berth with an expecting wife watching from the stands.
'I'm hoping,' Mahomes said. 'I don't know if Brittany is, but I'm hoping we can keep that going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way.'
The news isn't all good for the Chiefs. As several fans noted, Kansas City is only 1-3 in the Super Bowl when Brittany is with child.
Currently the Chiefs are 6-2 on the season, despite a barrage of injuries at receiver. Andy Reid's team travels to Atlanta on Sunday to face the 3-6 Falcons.
The couple made the announcement on Tuesday evening, posting a series of photographs on Instagram alongside the caption: 'Another blessing from God... and then there were six.'
Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is already a father to two daughters, Sterling Skye, five, and Golden Raye, one, and a son, three-year-old Patrick 'Bronze' Lavon Mahomes III.
In the family photoshoot, Patrick and his three children are seen putting their hands on Brittany's bump on the beach. The surprise announcement, which sparked an avalanche of well-wishes on social media, comes barely 18 months after Brittany suggested they might not have any more children.
'We're done, we're done for a while,' she said in June 2025. 'I don't know... I feel like you can never say you're done. I think three is all I need.'
The couple, who have become close friends with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, tied the knot in 2022 after a decade together.
'Being a mom changed so many things in my life and changed how I looked at so many things,' Brittany told Yahoo in June. 'It really reshaped and redefined a lot of things in my life.'
She added: 'It's made me more intentional, more purposeful and, honestly, more motivated to keep going and keep showing my kids that there are no boundaries in front of you.
'You can achieve anything. You can be a part of anything that you want to. You need to dream big and understand that you have to work hard and do the hard things to do the fun things.'
Just minutes before revealing the news on Tuesday, both Patrick and Brittany Mahomes had posted about the Kansas City Chiefs trading for wide receiver Josh Downs ahead of the NFL's deadline.
The Chiefs superstar recently returned to the field after suffering damage to his ACL and LCL in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers last December.
The three-time Super Bowl champion went under the knife and then challenged himself to be back on his feet before his daughter, Golden, had learned to walk.
Brittany, a former soccer player who co-owns the Kansas City Current, has been by her husband's side throughout his career.
Following the Chiefs' recent loss to the Denver Broncos, she accused NFL referees of deliberately making calls against Kansas City in a blistering social media meltdown.
Mahomes and his teammates suffered a heartbreaking loss on the road after lineman Jaylon Moore was penalized for a false start that ruled out a game-winning touchdown pass to Rashee Rice.
The penalty forced the Chiefs back to the six-yard line and Mahomes was sacked on fourth-and-goal, handing the Broncos a wild 28-24 win, and Kansas City's second loss of the season.
'You can't tell me you call that on a game winning [touchdown],' Brittany posted to her 2.1 million social media followers. 'Oh wait yeah I can cause it's us. That was the weakest call I have ever seen, you can't tell me otherwise.'
