Brittany Mahomes marked Patrick Mahomes\u2019 31st birthday with a family-focused tribute featuring the Chiefs quarterback with their three children, Sterling, Bronze and Golden.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy Birthday Babe!! You mean the world to us,\u201d Brittany wrote in her September 17 Instagram post, according to PEOPLE<\/a>. She called Patrick \u201cthe heart of our family\u201d and told him, \u201cwe love you the MOST!\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick responded beneath the post with, \u201cLove yall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The birthday came three days after Mahomes returned to regular-season action following the knee injury that ended his 2025 season. His children had also recorded messages for him ahead of the comeback, congratulating their father for completing months of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Brittany\u2019s Instagram carousel<\/a> included Patrick carrying and playing with the children, spending time with them at home and helping Bronze practice baseball.<\/p>\n

Another photograph showed Sterling, Bronze and Golden sitting together with their father in pajamas. Brittany told Patrick that she hoped he felt special and loved on his birthday and \u201ctruly everyday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick and Brittany welcomed Sterling in February 2021 and Bronze in November 2022. Their youngest child, Golden, was born in January 2025.<\/p>\n

The couple, who began dating as teenagers, married in Hawaii in March 2022. Brittany is also a co-owner of the Kansas City Current of the National Women\u2019s Soccer League.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Players\u2019 Tribune (@PlayersTribune) September 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Players\u2019 Tribune released messages from Mahomes\u2019 children on September 14 ahead of his first regular-season game since tearing his ACL during the previous season.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood job for all your rehab,\u201d one of the children told him. \u201cWe\u2019re so happy that you get to play football again, and we get to watch you. You\u2019re the best daddy in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mahomes had spent the offseason working toward a Week 1 return after undergoing surgery. In January, he told the Chiefs\u2019 official website<\/a> that the rehabilitation would be a \u201clong process\u201d but said he was encouraged by his early progress.<\/p>\n

He later said one of the hardest parts of the injury was how rehabilitation affected his time with Sterling, Bronze and Golden, while the opportunity to play in front of them again became part of his motivation to return.<\/p>\n

Mahomes Returned With Three Touchdowns Against Denver<\/h2>\n

Mahomes made his regular-season return on September 14 as Kansas City opened its season against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs won 31-10, with Mahomes completing 15 of 27 passes for 184 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed seven times for 23 yards and scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

His first passing touchdown went to Rashee Rice late in the second quarter before he connected with Kenneth Walker III for another score in the fourth. Walker also rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown in his Chiefs debut.<\/p>\n

Mahomes\u2019 birthday followed three days later, with Brittany\u2019s tribute shifting attention away from the season opener and toward photographs of him with Sterling, Bronze and Golden.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
