Patrick Mahomes, wife Brittany announce birth of third child, daughter Golden Raye

Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, added to their growing family, announcing the birth of their third child.

The pair said on Instagram their daughter, Golden Raye Mahomes, was born on Sunday, January 12.

The couple are parents to three-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and a son, Patrick Lavon III, nicknamed "Bronze," who is 2.

Mahomes said during an interview before the Kansas City Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers that he would try to get the team the No. 1 seed throughout the playoffs so his wife can have the baby during his expected time off.

OPINION: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen are worthy of NFL MVP. Both need to prove they can beat Patrick Mahomes.

"Brittany says I've been stressing her out too much this season," the three-time Super Bowl winner said. “So I got to try to not put so much stress on her through these football games.”

"Hopefully God works the right way and we can have that baby on 'the bye' week somewhere, and then everything will work out perfectly.”

The Chiefs ended up clinching home-field advantage throughout the postseason with their 29-10 win over Pittsburgh, and they play the Houston Texans at home in the AFC divisional playoff on Saturday.
