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.
Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Preview
Based on PFN’s win probability model, which ran 10,000 simulations via the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 52.8% chance of defeating the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City has won three of the last five Super Bowls and will be the first NFL team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-season span.
This is Philadelphia’s third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago in Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City Chiefs Trends and Insights
- The Chiefs have 17 straight one-score wins (12-0 this season, their last three playoff games last year, and their last two regular season games). Twelve one-score wins is the most in a single season all-time, tied with the 2022 Vikings, 2019 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos.
- Patrick Mahomes passed Joe Montana for the second-most playoff wins by a starting quarterback (17) and John Elway for the second-most playoff game-winning drives by a quarterback (seven).
- From 2019-24, the Chiefs have made six Super Bowl appearances, are chasing a fourth title, and have won 78% of their regular season games. For reference, the Splash Brother Golden State Warriors (2015-19, 2022) made six NBA Finals appearances with four titles and won 76.2% of their regular season games.
- The Chiefs have averaged over 2.5 points per offensive drive in four straight games when playing their regulars – that’s a good formula, as NFL teams have won 78.9% of their games this season when clearing 2.50 PPD.
- During his career, Mahomes has averaged 3.9 carries for 20 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season. In the postseason, those rates elevated to 5.4 attempts, 29.1 yards, and 0.35 touchdowns per game.
Philadelphia Eagles Trends and Insights
- The Eagles peaked early last season and scored 155 points over a five-game win streak (Weeks 7-12). Over their past five games, they’ve scored 166 points.
- Jalen Hurts ran for three scores in his prior Super Bowl experience, joining Terrell Davis as the only player to do that in The Big Game. With his three rushing scores on Sunday, Hurts joined LeGarrette Blount as the only players in NFL history with multiple playoff games in which they ran for three-plus touchdowns.
- Philadelphia has forced 19 turnovers in their past six games, a run that includes four games with three-plus.
- The Eagles became the sixth team to have multiple players rush for multiple scores in a playoff game, the first since Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel did it for the 2018 Patriots.
- Since 2022, the Eagles are 18-8 ATS (69.2%) when facing a team that enters play with at least as many wins as losses (second best, trailing only the 20-6-1 Lions).
- Hurts will become the eighth quarterback to start multiple Super Bowls within his first eight seasons. Of the previous seven, only Elway failed to secure a ring within his first five seasons—though Elway would famously cap off his career with Super Bowl victories in his final two seasons.
