Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany have a fourth child on the way. The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, posing for beach photos with their three kids and a short caption that said it all.

"Another blessing from God 🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6 🤍," Brittany wrote. The NFL itself dropped into the comments with a one-word reaction: "congratulations!"

The Mahomes family already includes Sterling, Bronze and Golden Raye, who was born in January 2025. Baby No. 4 arrives as the Chiefs quarterback is playing some of his best football of the season.

Back on track after a rough stretch

Kansas City is fresh off a 35-12 win over the New York Jets last Sunday, a result that snapped a two-game skid. Mahomes completed 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

The three-time Super Bowl champion tore his ACL and LCL last December, and the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014. This season he has looked like his old self, and the team added pieces like reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and wide receiver Josh Downs ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Mahomes and the Chiefs play next on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with CBS carrying the Week 10 matchup at 1 p.m. ET.
