Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, welcomed their third child, a daughter named Golden Raye, earlier this month. They also have two other children, Sterling Skye and Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III.

According to Patrick, Brittany has been "doing everything" as they transition to a family of five, while he's been "just trying to be supportive" amid the NFL playoffs.

He also expressed excitement about his older children's reactions to their baby sister. "It's cool to welcome another baby girl in our family and see how our kids react to her," Mahomes said. "Having baby sissy and stuff like that - it's been a lot of fun."
