There’s something about a fresh start that feels exhilarating, almost like stepping onto a plane bound for an unknown destination. For some, it’s a change in scenery, a long-awaited adventure. For others, it’s shedding an old version of themselves—literally. Lately, the Mahomes family seems to be embracing both.

Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ star quarterback, has been making headlines with a bold new look, chopping off his signature hairstyle in favor of something sleeker. And while he’s turning the page on one era, his mother, Randi Mahomes, is busy counting down to a dream of her own. She recently shared a glittering Eiffel Tower showpiece on Instagram with the caption, “Count down too a dream,” sparking speculation that she might finally be making a long-awaited trip to Paris.

For many fans who are wondering why Paris? Well, it’s no surprise Paris is renowned for its rich culture, historic landmarks, and world-class cuisine, and is a dream destination for many. It makes the whole thing all the more curious because she hasn’t publicly told us of her connection to the city. Somehow, her longing for the visit suggests a deep-seated desire to experience the city’s magic firsthand.

To think of it, the Mahomes family overall doesn’t have much of a connection to the city. Only in July 2024, we saw Patrick and Brittany Mahomes on a European vacation with their children, traveling around in countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Maybe, there’s not much to it. Randi is probably just checking off her bucket list to stroll along the Seine, indulging in scrumptious pastries, or marvel at the Eiffel Tower up close.

Maybe it’s just a bucket-list getaway, or perhaps there’s something deeper pulling her toward the City of Lights. Either way, as one Mahomes trims the past and the other reaches for a dream, this season is shaping up to be one of reinvention for the entire family

Patrick Mahomes’ New Season New Look

While Randi is setting up her dream trip, we have Patrick making a fresh start by embracing change in his own style. After the season ended on the note it did, Patrick decided it was time for a transformation—starting with his hair. Known for his signature mohawk fade, he contemplated a drastic change. His longtime barber, DeJuan Bonds, revealed that Patrick initially wanted to cut it all off. However, after some discussion, they opted for a stylish, shorter cut that caught the spotlight at his appearance at a recent Texas Tech game. This new look symbolizes a fresh start and has fans excited about what’s to come.

Patrick Mahomes’ fresh new fade has been a hot topic among fans, especially since he had hinted at the change long before making the chop. Back in Netflix’s 2023 docuseries Quarterback, Mahomes playfully told his trainer, Bobby Stroupe, “Hair’s gone next year. Going with different hair next year,” adding that he couldn’t keep his signature mohawk forever. “I can’t have two kids and a Mohawk. ‘Cause I gotta be a dad at some point. … Imagine being 40 years old with this haircut.” When he finally debuted the new look at a family event, social media lit up with reactions. One fan on X summed up the excitement, writing, “Mahomes finally got rid of the mohawk and that could only mean one thing! MVP and SBMVP season loading…redemption season.”

With Randi potentially embarking on her dream trip to Paris and Patrick sporting a rejuvenated appearance, the Mahomes family exemplifies resilience and the courage to embrace new beginnings. As they navigate personal and professional transitions, their journey inspires fans to pursue their own dreams and transformations.

Whether it’s exploring the charming streets of Paris or gearing up for another thrilling NFL season, the Mahomes family is ready to take on the future with enthusiasm and grace.
