On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany welcomed their third child, a daughter named Golden Raye Mahomes, joining their three-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and two-year-old Patrick Lavon III, nicknamed ‘Bronze.’ The birth of baby No. 3 came at a perfect time since the Chiefs are the No. 1 seed in the AFC and had the wild card round bye, allowing the Mahomes family to go through the birth without worrying about playing a game, even though the three-time Super Bowl MVP made sure to watch some games over the weekend.
As Kansas City prepares to face the Houston Texans in the divisional round, Reid was asked for his thoughts on how Mahomes has managed becoming a father and being a star quarterback at the same time. While Reid said Mahomes ‘does great with it,’ he then offered some unique parenting advice for him.
‘Once you have three, four and five are easy. That’s what I told him,’ Reid said. ‘You made three, add a couple more, we’ll talk.’
It sounds unusual and odd for Reid to say Mahomes should continue to grow his family, but Reid does know what it’s like to have a bigger family since he does have five children.

However, it doesn’t seem to be in the plans for Mahomes − for now. He said he’s ‘good with three for right now.’
‘We’ll see down the line maybe, but my goal was always three,’ Mahomes said. ‘We’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.’
What Mahomes does have three of and hopes to expand is his Super Bowl ring collection. He and the Chiefs hopes to become the first three-peat champion in the Super Bowl era at the end of the season.
