Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to watch the NFL playoffs from the hospital over the weekend, with his wife giving birth to their third child.
The Mahomes family welcomed a baby girl named Golden Raye during the Chiefs’ playoff bye, which meant that the quarterback was still very busy.
“Brittany crushed it,” he told reporters in a press conference this week (H/T Page Six), adding that it was fun to see how his two other children reacted to the arrival of their new little sister.
“It’s been cool to welcome another baby girl to the family and see how my other kids reacted to her and have a baby sister and stuff like that,” he said. “So, it’s been a lot of fun.”
While the focus was on his wife and their incoming bairn, Mahomes was still keen on the playoff action taking place around the league.
“It was cool that football was on TV while I was in the hospital,” he noted. “So, I was able to watch a little bit.”
