There’s a new Mahomes making headlines, and it’s not who you might expect. While the world knows the name Patrick Mahomes better, there’s another rising star quietly making her mark. It’s his half-sister Zoe Mahomes who has already begun carving out her legacy.
Zoe made headlines on July 29, 2024, with a stunning hat-trick against a high school team. Now, she’s proving her athletic prowess once again, much like her 2 time NFL MVP half-brother. Zoe plays for the Richardson-based Sting Under 11 Soccer team. She helped her team secure a commanding 6-0 championship win by scoring a goal against Classics Elite on November 29, 2024, in Plano, Texas. The Mahomes family proudly celebrated her victory, by sharing glimpses from the game on her Instagram profile.

A video on her Instagram profile captured her remarkable goal from the championship game. 9-year-old Zoe sent the ball soaring through the air and perfectly threaded the space between the goalkeeper and the overhead crossbar to net the ball for a goal. The video was captioned, “One goal at a time“.
Zoe’s mother Anika Cooper who manages her Instagram frequently shares images and videos related to her soccer life. She had earlier shared a short video featuring the moment she signed with the Stings football club with the caption, “Signing party 2024!” tagging her club alongside.

After parting ways with Randi Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes Sr. met Anika and welcomed Zoe in 2015. From a young age, Zoe often accompanied her father to cheer for her half-brother, the three-time NFL Super Bowl champion.
Patrick Mahomes Sr. is a familiar face at Kansas City Chiefs’ games, cheering for his first-born son. He also regularly shows up to his daughter’s games to support her. The day Zoe Mahomes scored her hat trick, Papa Mahomes broke his social media hiatus, by posting an image alongside her captioned, “Hat trick for this young lady today in 6-0 win. Way to go Zoe,”
He regularly shows up on Zoe’s feed carrying her gear, helping her out with warmups, and encouraging her from the sidelines. In Week 1 of the NFL season, while his reigning Super Bowl MVP son faced off against the Baltimore Ravens at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas, Mahomes Sr. was cheering his daughter on to victory.
