The Kansas City Chiefs had started the season with a 6–2 record, placing them second in the AFC West after nine weeks. Alongside the team’s strong start, the Mahomes family shared personal news: Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, are expecting their fourth child.
The announcement also revived a playful theory among fans. Each time Brittany has been expecting, the Chiefs have reached the Super Bowl. Brittany responded with humor after a post highlighted the apparent connection.
“Glad someone finally figured this out, just doing my part over here 😂😝😆,” she wrote in an Instagram Story while resharing the post.
## A lighthearted link between pregnancy and Super Bowl appearances
The timing of the Mahomes children’s births has lined up with several of Kansas City’s recent Super Bowl runs. Patrick and Brittany’s eldest child, Sterling, was born just weeks before the Chiefs faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. Kansas City lost that game.
Their second child, Bronze, was born in November 2022. A few months later, the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. Their third child, Golden, was born on January 12, 2025, about a month before Kansas City played in Super Bowl LIX.
That history has made the supposed pattern a fun talking point, but there is no reason to think a pregnancy has any effect on the team’s performance. The Chiefs also won a championship in 2023 without a baby on the way. Still, the three occasions have created an amusing coincidence for fans to follow as the team pursues another deep postseason run.
Brittany shared the family’s news on Instagram on November 10, writing: “Another blessing from God 🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6 🤍.”
In the announcement photo, Patrick and Brittany posed with their three children against a beach backdrop. The post revealed that their family of five would soon grow to six.
Patrick also expressed his excitement about the pregnancy, while emphasizing that the baby’s health was what mattered most.
“Obviously, it’s a blessing to have another baby on the way. I’m excited for it,” he said. “I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.”
He was also asked about the connection between Brittany’s pregnancies and the Chiefs’ Super Bowl appearances. Patrick laughed as he responded to the idea of extending the streak.
“I’m hoping. I don’t know if Brittany is,” he said. “But I’m hoping if we can keep that going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way, that’d be awesome for sure.”
## Chiefs look to build on 6–2 start
The Chiefs’ season had not been without challenges. A Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos dropped Kansas City to second place in the AFC West. The team bounced back the following week with a convincing win over the New York Jets, bringing its record to 6–2.
Kansas City had plenty of reasons to be optimistic, but staying healthy remained an important factor as the season progressed. Patrick had thrown for 2,037 yards and 14 touchdowns, with four interceptions.
There was a brief concern during the Jets game when Mahomes hurt his elbow after taking a heavy hit. He returned to the contest, easing immediate concerns, and resumed full practice on Wednesday. His return to practice was a positive development for the Chiefs as they prepared for their next game.
Whether the latest pregnancy announcement will coincide with another Super Bowl appearance remains to be seen. The pattern is only a coincidence, and the team’s results will depend on its performance throughout the season. For now, the Mahomes family has a new reason to celebrate, while Chiefs fans can enjoy the lighthearted theory and watch how Kansas City’s campaign unfolds.
