Apart from that, the mom of the Super Bowl 54 MVP also expressed her learning from some friends while adopting a new life. “I’ve learned that some people I thought were friends, it’s really been hard, just because, you know, I even met them because of this new life we have, and I want to give people the benefit of the doubt.”
Besides this, Randi also explained her pain with heartfelt words, “There’s been a lot that’s been great, but then there have been some that have been really hurtful because they weren’t friends for the right reasons, or maybe I’m too gullible sometimes.”

Randi shared her painful experience of reading negative comments about her other two children. She revealed the untold struggle Jackson and Mia had to face after the NFL’s best QB’s popularity grew.
“It’s a whole new learning thing, and I think I hate it most because I’m a little older and understand different things. But for my other two children, it’s a lot for them to take in. Whether we’re hanging out or doing something, I hear things that I wouldn’t want them to hear.”
It was not just a tragic turn for Mahomes, but a time when she had to block her social media profile. However, the way she has dealt with this situation was nothing short of a perfect whole nine-yard shot in an NFL playoff game.

“There are also times I look back. After we won the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, I was looking through social media trying to fall asleep. I would see so much hate directed at me and my children — all three of them. And I would think, this is a beautiful All-American family. Why would this mom or dad reach out to say this?” Randi stated.
Thus, Patrick Mahomes’ mom’s resilience and optimism during the hardest times have inspired many.
