Patrick Mahomes, fiancée Brittany Matthews announce baby girl's arrival
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews welcomed their baby girl to the world this weekend.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback announced on Instagram that his first child with Matthews, his longtime girlfriend and fiancée, was born on Feb. 20, 2021.
He shared a photo of the baby's little hand grabbing his finger, with Matthews' hand on top. The picture is taken looking at her upper chest and shows a sparkling necklace with "Sterling" on it for baby Sterling Skye Mahomes.
Matthews shared the same announcement photo and included the baby is 6 pounds, 11 ounces.
It marks the a whirlwind one calendar year for the couple. Mahomes led the Chiefs to victory in Super Bowl LIV in February 2020. They announced their engagement later in the year at the same time Mahomes received his Super Bowl ring and shortly thereafter shared the impending arrival of a baby. They shared a video of the gender reveal on Oct. 21, 2021, with Mahomes using the Girl Dad hashtag popularized after Kobe Bryant's death.
Mahomes took the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two weeks ago. He said during Super Bowl week he hoped Matthews, who is a co-owner of the NWSL's FC Kansas City, didn't go into labor early.
Instead, she arrived perfectly in time for young star quarterback has a few months of offseason to spend with his growing family.
