Patrick Mahomes' Sweetest Quotes About Raising His 2 Kids With Brittany Matthews: 'I've Had to Learn a Lot'

His favorite fans! Patrick Mahomes is an all-star for his team on the football field — and a champion for his family at home. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback got engaged to high school sweetheart Brittany Matthews in September 2020, proposing on the same day he received his Super Bowl LIV championship ring. Later that month, the couple announced that they had a baby on the way. "Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding❤️," the then-pregnant soccer player wrote via Instagram alongside two photos of Mahomes cradling her stomach as she showed off an ultrasound image. Mahomes' younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, congratulated the pair on their next chapter. "I am so extremely happy for you guys & can't wait to see what the future holds for y’all! You guys are going to be the BEST parents ever!!!" he gushed in the comments section. Matthews gave birth to daughter Sterling in February 2021. The new parents initially kept the infant's face hidden on social media, but they shared the first glimpse of their baby girl in June 2021. [jwplayer 8AoltXM6-zhNYySv2] "Obviously, at first, we wanted to keep stuff private and not have her out there," Patrick explained during an interview with Today the following month. "As we started doing different things and she started getting a little bit older, being out and about, it almost became, like, a burden to try to hide her at all times when we do stuff. This coming [NFL] season, we want her to be at the games and not have to worry about hiding her the entire time." He added: "We still want to keep some stuff private, but we figured we can show everybody her face at least once or twice or not have to keep hiding her." The NFL star previously called Sterling "a pretty good baby," noting that he was impressed with how little she cried. "I think [fatherhood has] changed me in a sense that you're just so appreciative of every single day and the little things," he told Forbes in April 2021. Shortly after Sterling's 1st birthday, Patrick and his wife announced in May 2022 that they were expecting their second child. They welcomed their son, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, that November. As the Chiefs prepared to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII three months later, Patrick made sure his family knew how much they meant to him. He gave Matthews and their little ones a sweet shout-out after being named MVP at the 2023 NFL Honors. "No matter how I feel coming home, y'all bring me joy and make me appreciate the time that I get to spend with y'all," he gushed in February 2023. "Thank you for always being there for me during my good times and my bad. Love y'all." Scroll down to see Patrick's sweetest quotes about his family and raising children over the years:

"[Sterling's] figuring it out," he said on Audacy's "The Drive" when asked how his daughter was adjusting to being a big sister. "She wants to hold him and take care of him, and everything like that. ... She loves her little brother. She wants to play all day, and we have to tell her to be gentle. And we have to tell her don’t throw him like a toy baby."

"Brittany says that [Sterling] recognizes that I'm playing football, but I don't know if she realizes exactly what's going on," the proud dad teased during a sports radio interview. "She's definitely getting older now. She's a kid now; she's a toddler, not a baby anymore. It's cool when you go home, and she recognizes you, and does what you're asking her to do, and she's super smart. [It's] definitely cool to see her grow up."

The Texas Tech alum later recalled his reaction when Matthews surprised him by bringing Sterling to a game at Arrowhead Stadium. "This is the first time she actually got to be on the field. It was past her bedtime, that's why I didn't expect her to be at the game," he said. "But it was cool to see her on the field before the game."

The couple initially didn't show Sterling's face in photos, but they gave fans their first glimpse of their baby girl when she was 5 months old. "We figured it was about time. ... We just want to give her the most normal life that she possibly can so she can grow and have friends and learn and get better and better every single day," he told Today. "There will be points where she'll be in the public eye, and we have a great understanding of that. Luckily, we're in Kansas City where there's a lot of great people [and] she'll be in a great place as she grows up."

"I've had to learn a lot there, probably more than I've learned in my entire life until now," the Super Bowl LIV champ told reporters of having a daughter. "How to take care of a baby and raise a little baby girl and try to make, give her the best opportunity and the best life as possible."

Parenthood prompted a few big changes to his schedule. "Golf time has cut down significantly and video games, but I still am able to [relax] every once in a while," he teased.

Two months after Matthews gave birth, her husband revealed what he was looking forward to the most as Sterling got older. "For me, going to work out and going home and seeing her, I'm so happy and excited to see her every single day," he told Forbes. "It's gotten a little bit more hectic. She's a pretty good baby, though. She doesn't cry a ton, which is pretty good because I know the fact that she's so good like that, I know my second baby is going to be one that cries a lot."
