As Patrick Mahomes prepares for yet another Super Bowl showdown, the Mahomes family finds itself caught between two worlds—football glory and personal sacrifice. While all eyes are on the Chiefs quarterback, one of his biggest supporters is making a tough call of her own. It’s not a coach’s decision, nor a game-time injury keeping her off the field—it’s the pull of family.
Zoe Mahomes, Patrick’s younger half-sister, had to miss her own soccer games this weekend as her family gears up for the biggest game of the year. In an Instagram story, she shared her disappointment, writing: “So sad to miss this weekend!!! Go get em girls!!!!!!”
Zoe plays for the Sting 14G Pre-ECNL Flynn soccer team, and the tournament, titled the Beacon Park Friendlies, featured key matchups, against Challenge SC, FCD Haylock, and Sting Austin. Missing out wasn’t easy, but for the Mahomes family, support runs deep—especially when it comes to football.

Just take the example of the last Super Bowl. Once the Kansas City Chiefs managed to hand the San Francisco 49ers a defeat, an ecstatic Zoe uploaded an Instagram post, and boy, did it show how she is proud of her older brother! Posting a picture of Mahomes after the victory engrossed in a media appearance, she wrote, “MY BROTHER DID IT AGAIN!! SUPER BOWL BABY.” Indeed, her brother had bagged another Super Bowl win. Not just that, it was two in a row! The question is can he repeat it?
Moving on, her team, which is part of an elite youth soccer circuit, has shown support for her decision. With a bright future ahead, Zoe’s commitment to sports mirrors the competitive fire that runs in the Mahomes bloodline. She’s an up-and-coming athlete carving her own path, but for now, she’s sidelining her own dreams—at least for the weekend—to cheer on her superstar brother. And let’s just say that she is not the only one in the Mahomes family who will be backing the quarterback.

Beyond Zoe’s situation, the Mahomes family also focuses on the other family members during this Super Bowl. Patrick’s mother, Randi Martin, has fully embraced her role as a grandmother during these high-profile events. She recently revealed that she’ll be on “grandma duty” during the Super Bowl, taking care of Mahomes’ kids—Sterling, Bronze, and newborn Golden—while supporting her son from the family suite. “I’ll be with family and friends, including my grandchildren. It’s a special time for all of us,” she told Page Six.

Meanwhile, the family is also rallying around Patrick’s grandfather, Randy Martin, who is currently in hospice care. Despite his health struggles, he remains determined to witness his grandson take the field on the biggest stage. “He’s hanging on to see Patrick play. It’s been his wish, and we’re all praying for him,” Randi Mahomes told People. The emotional weight of the Super Bowl extends beyond the scoreboard for the Mahomes family—it’s about shared moments, memories, and legacy.
