Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is embracing his role as a devoted father, as evidenced by the heartwarming photos shared by his wife, Brittany Mahomes, on June 24. The snapshots, posted to her Instagram Stories, capture a joyful moment between the NFL star and their 3-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye.
In the photos, Sterling, with a beaming smile, sits atop her father’s shoulders. Patrick, 28, reciprocates with a broad smile, holding onto Sterling’s ankles to ensure her safety. Brittany, also 28, aptly captioned the image, “Girl loves her daddy,” reflecting the strong bond between father and daughter.
The Mahomes family, which also includes their 18-month-old son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, appears to be enjoying a family vacation in Italy. Brittany shared additional images showcasing the couple’s dinner outing, featuring menus emblazoned with the Dolce & Gabbana logo. This indicates the family’s presence at the exclusive Dolce & Gabbana restaurant in Milan.
In subsequent posts, Brittany highlighted their indulgence in drinks and desserts, each adorned with the fashion brand’s iconic name. The European getaway also included a previous stop in Portugal, where the family engaged in beach activities and relaxed on a giant paddleboard. Brittany documented these moments in an Instagram carousel, shared on June 22.
The Mahomes family’s vacation comes shortly after attending Patrick’s Super Bowl ring ceremony on June 13. Held at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, the event celebrated the Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Patrick and his teammates received $40,000 championship rings. The rings drew attention for a minor error, incorrectly listing the Miami Dolphins’ seeding as the seventh instead of the sixth seed.
Despite the typo, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 34, expressed his indifference during the June 19 episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast. “Who cares? They could’ve done no seeds on the side of them. I would’ve been fine,” he remarked.
The Mahomes family’s European adventure, filled with quality time and celebration, underscores the joy and love they share, both on and off the field. Patrick Mahomes continues to shine, not just as an NFL superstar, but as a dedicated husband and father.
