Quarterback Patrick Mahomes helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl a year ago and was named the game’s MVP. Five months later, he received a contract extension that could pay him a half-billion dollars.
So 2020 was a great year for Mahomes.
Earlier this month, the Chiefs and Mahomes lost the Super Bowl, but this year is guaranteed to be better than the last because of what happened on Saturday:
Mahomes, 25, and his fiancee Brittany Matthews welcomed their baby girl into the world.
The name of this little bundle of joy: Sterling Skye Mahomes.
In September, Mahomes and Matthews announced their engagement, shortly after the Chiefs players received their rings for winning Super Bowl LIV. Later in the month, the couple revealed they would be parents, and Mahomes talked about what a great year he was having.
“It’s extremely exciting,” Mahomes said at the time. “Being able to grow up and have these dreams of having a family and playing in the NFL — for that stuff to start happening and really coming to truth, it’s really cool. I’m just excited that I have a lot of great people around me, and I’m in a great organization, and I’m able to live out these dreams day by day.”
The following month, the couple used their dogs as part of a gender reveal, and Mahomes tweeted that he was going to be a #GirlDad.
A few days before Super Bowl LV, Mahomes said the baby could be born at any point and he hoped the birth would come after the game. Baby Mahomes, the newest member of Chiefs Kingdom, accommodated that request.
Mahomes and Matthews, 25, began dating while attending Whitehouse (Texas) High School, when Mahomes was a sophomore and Matthews a junior.
