Life away from the stadium lights looks very different right now for Brittany Mahomes — and she’s not pretending otherwise.
On Wednesday, the Kansas City Current co-founder gave fans a relatable, emotional glimpse into motherhood, sharing a quiet moment with her 1-year-old daughter Golden, who’s currently battling teething pain.
“Snuggles and celery” — the reality of mum life
In the short clip, baby Golden rests her head against Brittany’s chest in a leopard-print baby carrier, looking tired, uncomfortable and in need of comfort.
The caption said everything:
“Teething baby calls for snuggles and celery.”
No perfection.
No posing.
Just the kind of day every parent recognises instantly.
From tears to birthday joy
While Golden was having a tough moment this week, just weeks earlier she was all smiles celebrating her first birthday.
The Mahomes family marked the milestone with a flower-themed party full of colour, laughter and chaos — the good kind.
Golden wore:
-
Orange flower sunglasses
-
A tiny “One” crown
While siblings Sterling, 4, and Bronze, 3, ran wild through:
-
A bouncy castle
-
Ball pits
-
Slides
-
And clouds of cotton candy
“Celebrated our Golden girl with the best crew,” Brittany wrote — later adding:
“My baby is ONE This baby girl is pure joy.”
Family time hits different this season
These moments are carrying extra meaning right now.
Husband Patrick Mahomes is currently sidelined at home recovering after surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL, suffered late in the Chiefs’ December loss to the Chargers.
With football paused and rehab ongoing, the Mahomes family has been leaning into togetherness — messy days, quiet snuggles, and all.
Three kids, full hearts — and that’s enough
Despite clearly embracing life as a family of five, Brittany has been honest about one thing:
they’re not planning more children anytime soon.
Speaking previously on a podcast, she said:
“We’re done for a while. Three… I think three is all I need.”
For many mums watching, that honesty hit home just as much as the teething clip.
