Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, had their third child during the Wild Card Weekend of the 2024 NFL playoffs as the Chiefs quarterback enjoyed a well-deserved playoff bye week following the team’s 15-2 regular season.
We take a look at the names of his children and the common connection that ties them together.
What Did Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes Name Their Children?
Mahomes’ kids are all named after metals — Golden Raye, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, and Sterling Skye. They also have two dogs, Steel and Silver.
Golden is their third child, the girl Brittany gave birth to on Jan. 12, 2025. Bronze is the nickname of Mahomes’ son (Patrick Lavon Mahomes III), who has the same name as his father and grandfather. Bronze — likely an homage to his suffix as the third of his namesake — was born on Nov. 29, 2022.
Sterling Skye is the name of their first daughter, born on Feb. 20, 2021.
“I got Steel in college and named him that,” Brittany said of the Mahomes’ dog. “We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect[ly]. Then I said, ‘No, I want that to be my daughter’s name,’ so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.”
“Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect,” she added.
Funnily enough, Steel was a Valentine’s Day gift from Patrick when the two were in college, and he was named Steel after the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Patrick bought him for me for a Valentine’s Day gift when I was a junior,” Brittany shared of Steel. “I actually used to be a Steelers fan, and that’s how I got the name Steel, so that’s a great story.”
Patrick revealed that his brother, Jackson, was the one who recommended Bronze as a nickname.
“My brother Jackson, whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling,'” Patrick told reporters in Nov. 2022. “So, we went with that.”
“It works out well,” he added. “He can have his own thing now where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And, Sterling and Bronze [and now Golden Raye] can have that connection moving forward.”
Patrick and Brittany have been high-school sweethearts, together since March 2012. Brittany, a soccer player in high school and college, was a junior when she and Patrick (a sophomore at the time) started dating.
Brittany has been exceptionally supportive of her husband throughout his college and pro career.
The fact that she turned up at Arrowhead Stadium for their Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans just six days after giving birth shows her dedication to turning out in her husband’s colors.
