If someone asked you to describe a football player who’s also a typical family man, there’s a high chance you’d be describing Patrick Mahomes. “If I played until Tom [Brady] ’s age, my daughter would be 19, 20 years old,” Mahomes told TIME Magazine in April. “I would love to play that long. At the same time, I want to be there for my daughter. If I feel like it’s taking away from my family time, that’s when I’ll know it’s time to go.” It’s no wonder why his wife Brittany dubbed her husband the “MVP Dad” on Father’s Day.

While the Mahomes clan basked in the Father’s Day limelight, Patrick Mahomes remained pointedly silent on social media when his father, Pat Mahomes, posted a tribute to his son on Instagram. The NFL superstar’s deafening silence spoke volumes, leaving everyone pondering on the complex dynamics within the family, especially in the wake of Pat Sr.’s recent legal woes and checkered past.

Brittany’s Instagram post, a veritable highlight reel showcasing tender family moments, stood in stark contrast to the 28-year-old quarterback’s silence regarding his father’s own Father’s Day tribute post featuring similar photos. Her post read, “Happy Father’s Day to the MVP Dad! We are so grateful for you and love you to the moon! Bronze and Ster are obsessed with you, and well, I am too” Replying to the heartwarming carousel, the quarterback wrote, “Love yall!!! ” As for his silence regarding Pat Sr, this wasn’t the first time,

Mahomes has sidestepped questions about his dad’s troubles. When Pat Sr. faced his third DWI arrest last year, Patrick simply stated with a resigned air, “It’s a family matter. I’ll just keep it to the family.” The seemingly strained dynamic isn’t surprising given Pat Sr.’s checkered legal history. Court records reveal multiple DWI convictions and even a stint in jail, casting a long shadow over what should be celebratory moments for the Mahomes clan.

Yet, through it all, Patrick has remained a picture of poise and resilience, leading the Chiefs to a thrilling Super Bowl LVIII victory this year while deftly navigating personal turmoil off the field. When it comes to his family of four, though – Brittany, Sterling, and Bronze – there’s nothing he’s more proud of. And just as Brittany said in her post, she uploaded a few Instagram stories that suggested just how “obsessed” their children are with Patrick.

Starting with a picture of Mahomes sitting on a couch, holding Sterling and Bronze on one arm each, the children rested their heads on their father’s shoulders. Brittany captioned the picture, “Father’s Day Snuggles” In a subsequent video, the Chiefs quarterback and his children played under a bed, giggling and enjoying their time. Seeing how devoted he is to being there for his kids – be it watching Bluey or just playing under the bed with them – it’s safe to assume that, despite all his accomplishments on the football field, he’s proudest to be a dad.

Speaking of football, Patrick Mahomes was featured in an advertisement for Adidas, and in the short clip, Sterling and Bronze appeared, too, making for a cute Father’s Day video. That said, Patrick’s silence on his father’s Father’s Day post juxtaposed his warm response to Brittany’s loving post. This speaks volumes about where his priorities lie! It also harkens back to the sacrifices made by Mahomes’ mother, Randi, who once worked multiple jobs to support her sons’ athletic ambitions while grappling with the difficulties of being a single parent after her divorce from Mahomes Sr.

While the rift between Patrick and his controversial father remains unspoken, Brittany’s heartfelt tribute paints a picture of harmony within the Mahomes household – a sanctuary where the NFL superstar can find solace amidst the chaos.

Brittany is the MVP behind Patrick Mahomes

“Bronze and Ster are obsessed with you, and well, I am too.” The quarterback phenom’s wife, Brittany, delivered a touchdown with her heartfelt Instagram tribute. A reel of precious family moments – from professional portraits deserving of a spot in Canton to adorable snaps of Mahomes embracing their kids, Sterling and Bronze.

Brittany’s glowing caption hailing her husband’s unwavering dedication to family – “What you do day in and day out for this family amazes me every day” – echoed the sentiments of fans worldwide who are in awe of Mahomes’ ability to maintain poise amid the chaos of NFL stardom, much like the caption for the Adidas video read, “Harmony in Chaos.” Brittany’s words, coupled with adorable family photos, revealed the true bedrock of the quarterback’s greatness – a loving home where he can recharge and find sanctuary from the incessant scrutiny through the simple joys of fatherhood.

While Patrick Mahomes may have stayed silent when it had to do with his father’s post, the 28-year-old shared his own pictures to celebrate Father’s Day! Coordinating in a classic blue jeans and white t-shirt combination, the first picture was a family photo of the Mahomes clan. Subsequent pictures with his children showed just how much love there is between them.

For an athlete whose wizardry draws comparisons to Montana’s miracles, this peek into the Mahomes family dynamic revealed his most impressive performance, which requires no field and no cameras – just devotion to being the MVP dad his father seemingly struggled to embody.
