Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are opening up about their family and a scary moment that they went through.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife recently recalled the day in August 2023 when they first introduced their now 23-month-old son Patrick “Bronze” to nuts.
Nobody had a clue that all hell would break loose soon afterward.
In an Instagram video promoting a joint campaign with the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) charity, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes stated that Bronze would end up in the emergency room.
“With Bronze, I was doing early introduction,” Brittany, who is pregnant with her and Patrick’s third baby, explained in an Oct. 29 Instagram video promoting the importance of food allergy awareness. “Just with the history of Sterling having allergies, I was trying out different things with Bronze.”
On that first day with nuts, the 29-year-old recalled adding “a little packet of powder” to his bottle to see what his reaction would be.

“He took his bottle, and then within 30 or so minutes he became very irritable, very fussy,” she noted. “I took his diaper off, and it was just hives and welts everywhere.”
The symptoms of the allergic reaction soon went up to Bronze’s face, which Brittany said “started a panic inside of” her. She added, “That’s when we rushed to the emergency room.”
Patrick Mahomes also remembered the frightening moment:
“I remember how scared I was and how serious it felt, and luckily for us, the doctors were able to help, and that’s when, to me, it became a serious thing that I needed to really pay attention to,” he said.
