Patrick Mahomes is having another incredible season and establishing himself as one of the NFL’s most dynamic QB’s. He’s been a master at tossing pinpoint no-look passes and stepping into seemingly hopeless positions, helping the Kansas City Chiefs go 15-2 and claim the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Mahomes is primed to make another playoff run with everyone’s eyes on him to make another Super Bowl run. But while Patrick amazes with his on-field deeds, in real life, his family has their hands full — proof that even NFL royalty does not spare life.
Patrick’s MVP off the field (Most Valuable Parent, of course) has always been Randi Mahomes, his biggest fan. From Texas Tech to Arrowhead, she’s the one who’s telling Patrick Mahomes that family love is a faster path than Tyreek Hill Road. But Randi cut short the cheering to smear-ing this week — not at all at Apple.
Randi Mahomes vs Apple: A Tech Suspense Comes to Life

Funny as all get out in life Randi Mahomes got into a funky brawl with tech company Apple. Randi had taken to Instagram to vent after her photo library was ruined by an iPhone update. Reposting a meme on how annoyed you get to be called out by big group texts, she added her personal touch: “Still dealing with the Apple phone update. My photos are not OK. #grumpygrandi.”
The post immediately went viral with her followers, who shared their own tech horror stories. Randi’s gripe demonstrated how realistic she was and how she could make fun of the most unglamorous annoyance. For a mom who values photos of family and past, the Apple update was an epic screw-up.
This joke about the $3 trillion corporation was classic Randi—sharp, funny, and impossible to ignore. We can’t help but appreciate her knack for turning even the simplest tech gripe into a conversation starter.
Randi’s social media takes always hit the mark, and this one was no different. It might’ve been a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but it perfectly captured her way of rolling with life’s ups and downs—with humor, grace, and just the right amount of sass.
Grave circumstances: An amusement park of feelings for the Mahomes
Although people were smiling after her Apple tirade, Randi Mahomes’ personal life has not been all sunshine and rainbows. Her father Randy Martin has had an unspecified illness, and the Mahomes family has been dealing with it undefeated. Randi’s bittersweet Instagram post – on her father’s birthday, while he was in the hospital – was posted on 6 January. In the post, she laughed in the company of her father saying “Happy Birthday Daddy. I love you.”

This touching gesture came weeks after Randi had requested prayer for her father’s healing from her followers. “Prayer warriors, please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well” she wrote in December. She’s openly talked about her struggles, and her fans have taken to the internet to send her cheers and encouragement.

This time has only made Randi’s bond with her father more important than ever. She gifted him with a video of them sharing the love they have together, on his birthday last year. The festivities this year, however, have simmered with a warning of how precarious life is.
And Randi has been there for her family through it all. Her skill in juggling the psychological demands of her father’s illness with those of being a mother and public figure is nothing short of inspirational. But also a reminder that even through pain and difficulty, love and strength are possible.
