Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a close encounter with an unexpected guest. The scene unfolded in their backyard, where a mother duck had made a nest and laid eggs. Brittany’s excitement was palpable as she captured the moment, but little did she know that her protective husband would play a crucial role.

Earlier today, Brittany posted a photo of a duck’s nest with eggs in her Instagram stories, accompanied by the caption, “The duck has eggs, I could cry. Can’t wait to see the babies.” The anticipation was evident, and fans eagerly awaited the hatching of these tiny ducklings.

But let’s rewind to yesterday. Brittany had already been in the spotlight for sharing her encounter with the mother duck. In her Instagram story, she humorously referred to the bird as a “mother bird-duck.” Mahomes, always the protective partner, joined her as they ventured outside to check on the duck. Brittany’s fear of being attacked by the feathered visitor prompted Patrick to accompany her.

As they approached the nest, Patrick captured the mother duck on camera, while Brittany looked on nervously. His care for her was evident as he prevented her from getting too close to the duck. Their playful banter unfolded in the video: “The duck is gone,” Brittany exclaimed. Patrick’s response? “You’re on guard. Stop!” But Brittany’s enthusiasm remained unshaken.

 

In a surprising turn of events, Brittany nearly broke her ankle during this duck investigation. As they continued their quest, Patrick joked that the duck was “right there.” Brittany’s reaction? She stumbled down the front steps, narrowly avoiding injury. Her Instagram story captured the moment: “Almost broke my ankle…” she wrote, tagging Patrick. The unexpected visitor had turned their backyard into a nesting ground, and Brittany’s emotional caption, “My heart,” conveyed her excitement.

This isn’t the first time Patrick Mahomes’ protective instincts have made headlines. During the solar eclipse on April 8, he shielded their daughter, Sterling, drawing attention to his fatherly care. Now, as the duck’s eggs await hatching, Patrick’s watchful eye remains fixed on their backyard. The Mahomes family, known for their sports prowess, has added a new chapter to their story—one that involves a mother duck, eggs, and the promise of ‘little guests.’

As the Mahomes family eagerly awaits the ducklings’ arrival, their bond grows stronger, both on and off the field.

Patrick Mahomes’ Menagerie consists of Flamingos, dogs, and Silver the Pit Bull

In a departure from the gridiron glory, Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, reveal a softer side—one that involves flamingos, wagging tails, wet noses, and a commitment to animal welfare. Their pit bulls, Steel and Silver, are more than pets; they’re family members who’ve scored touchdowns in their hearts.

Sterling, their daughter, recently embarked on a zoo adventure that left her—and Instagram followers—spellbound. The stars of the show? Flamingos. Brittany’s heartwarming photos captured Sterling’s wide-eyed wonder as she observed these elegant, pink-hued birds. The caption—“She loves animals!”—underscored the joy of this mother-daughter outing as she introduced the little one to the wonders of the natural world.

Although not in the spotlight recently, Patrick Mahomes’ special bond with his pit bull, Silver, deserves recognition. He was  named after the couple’s initial plan to name their future daughter “Sterling.” Just like a well-executed play, Silver’s loyalty and determination shine through. He’s more than a pet; he’s a teammate. As Mahomes himself said, “Honestly my chosen spirit animal is my dog Steel, because me and my dog Steel are exactly the same person, except he’s a dog.”

Also, back in 2019, Mahomes and Brittany teamed up with the KC Pet Project  facilitating the adoption of over 70 dogs in a single weekend through their “15 and the Mahomies Foundation.” Their love for their pets and commitment to animal welfare call us fans out to open our hearts and homes to those in need.

Imagine Sterling in her tiny Chiefs jersey, cheering for her dad as he throws a touchdown pass. Picture Silver, tail wagging, as he guards the backyard like a defensive lineman protecting the pocket. And in the distance, the flamingos—graceful as basketball players gliding across the court.
