Patrick Mahomes opens up about daughter Golden's birth in new clip from 'The Kingdom'
Brittany and Patrick Mahomes welcomed Golden in January 2025. 1:36 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes opens up about the birth of his and wife Brittany Mahomes' second daughter, Golden Raye, in a clip from ESPN's new docuseries "The Kingdom." The father of three said his youngest daughter's arrival earlier this year felt like perfect timing. "Brittany crushed it. I was watching playoff games the entire day. She went to labor after one game," Patrick Mahomes recalled. "Baby was here before the next game, so I didn't even miss a playoff game. So, she is as locked in as I am as far as football goes." What to know about Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany and their kids Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes welcomed Golden back in January. The now-7-month-old is the couple's third child after daughter Sterling Skye, 4, and 2-year-old son Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III. The Mahomeses are featured alongside fellow Kansas City players and their families in "The Kingdom," which examines the NFL team's 65-year history and modern-day dynasty. Viewers will get an unprecedented look at the team's players and coaches during the 2024 season, when the team fought for a "three-peat" championship in Super Bowl LIX. The team allowed cameras to follow them on the field, in the locker room and even outside of the stadium. "The Kingdom" premieres Thursday at 9 p.m. ET, with the first two episodes of the six-part docuseries out on ESPN. All six episodes of "The Kingdom" will also be available to stream on ESPN+ and Disney+ starting Thursday.
