Being a celebrity mom is quite a challenging task! Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Mahomes’ celebratory charades on her NFL son’s accomplishments are quite heartwarming. Despite beaming with pride over the Kansas City Chiefs QB’s success, Mama Mahomes, however, also made a revelation regarding the exacerbating role that is often shielded from the public eye.

During an episode of the podcast “The Mom Game Podcast,” which premiered on June 21, 2024, the mother of three shared her struggles with being a mom to a high-profile NFL star. The back-to-back champion’s mom has faced a lot due to her MVP son’s rise to stardom with the Chiefs.

In the candid chat, the matriarch of the Mahomes family was asked how she managed the sudden limelight and handled the situation as a mom of an NFL golden boy. Randi Mahomes disclosed her hardships, remarking that her NFL son’s huge prominence brought tears to her eyes since the stress took a toll on her.

“It’s one day at a time. It’s a lot of prayer. I’ve cried myself to sleep reading some of the things that, you know, that I know my kids see. I’ve just, you know, dealt with it. I’ve kept my close friends close. I’ve learned that some people I thought were friends weren’t. It’s really been hard just because, you know, I even, like, say, I know I met them because of this new life we have. And I, like, want to give people the benefit of the doubt. And there’s been a lot that’s been great. But then there’s been some that have been really hurtful because they weren’t friends for the right reasons or maybe I’m too gullible sometimes. But it’s a whole new learning thing,” Randi remarked.

Despite demonstrating her stressful feelings about being a mom to an NFL star, she also admitted that she and her two other children, Jackson Mahomes and Mia Randall, have gradually learned to live a new life by being called by their new names—Patrick Mahomes’ brother, sister, and mom. All of this was possible after she embraced the hardships of the seven dreadful years of her life.

In an interview, Randi also lifted the curtain on the hardest seven years of her life, causing her tremendous trauma and many years of hardship due to Patrick’s prominence. “As much as I say that we’re blessed and Patrick’s living his dream, it has been the hardest seven years of my adult life. It’s been really hard to juggle… I’ve cried a lot. I’ve struggled with it,” the mom of three stated.r

Not only did Randi, 52, unveil her battle with the massive stardom of her three-time Super Bowl champion son, but she also disclosed her jealousy of her friends and their children, who enjoy more “normal” lives. “When I look at some of my friends on social media or in different things, I’m jealous that they have this normal situation. Their kids are the same age as Patrick and Jackson, and we don’t. It’s super difficult,” the social media influencer mom affirmed.

Despite the challenges, Randi Mahomes is highly proud and supportive of her son, navigating the highs the lows together with him.
