NFL and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes has shown the world his son’s face for the first time.
The 27-year-old father of two is particularly private on social media when it comes to his children.

However, the day after he secured his second Super Bowl ring, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes posted a photo of his family celebrating the win at Disneyland.
The photo shows Patrick standing outside the Magic Kingdom alongside his wife, Brittany Matthews, almost two-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye Mahomes, and two-month-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III.
He captioned the image: “Welcome to the happiest place on earth, Bronze and Sterling!” with a heart emoji.
Up until now, public snaps of Bronze had always excluded his face.
For example, upon announcing his name back in November, Patrick shared an image of young Bronze’s torso and legs on a plush blanket adorned with the name “Mahomes.”
He also had an iced-out “Bronze” chain laying below him.
And it seems that his name traces back to a tradition of sorts that has its roots in the very first members of their young family.
In 2021, Brittany explained after Sterling’s birth that her name went back to their beloved dogs.
Answering questions via her Instagram story, she wrote: “When we got Silver (one of their dogs) we were trying to think of a name that goes with Steel (their other dog).
“We thought of Sterling and I said no, when I have a daughter one day I want that to be her name.
“So then we came up with Silver instead for our pup.
“So now we have Steel, Silver, and Sterling.”
