Brittany Mahomes was left emotional at a poignant tribute to her husband Patrick and their family on Tuesday night, days after the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to Philadelphia Eagles.

The game, which the Chiefs lost 40-22, fell against the backdrop of an emotional time away from the field for the Mahomes family.

In January, the 29-year-old Brittany gave birth to her and Patrick’s third child, their second daughter named Golden Raye.

But soon after, the Chiefs quarterback’s mom Randy revealed her father and Patrick’s grandfather required hospice care. She said before the Super Bowl that he was ‘hanging on’ to see his grandson play in New Orleans.

Now, two days after the game, an infant sleep coach that the Mahomes family have worked with to help their young children paid tribute to them on Instagram.

Jenna Artis wrote on Instagram: ‘Not only is Patrick a standout football player, changing the game with his talent and integrity both on and off the field, but he’s also redefining what fatherhood looks like – even with a full plate.

‘Britt and Patrick!!! You both have taught me so much. I never knew how much dads wanted to be included in bath time, waking up from naps, or that they cared to know every little detail (fits, naps, how they ate/poop etc) about their kids simply because they wanted to – even having the full days like you do.

‘To so many, you’re the #1 football player, but to three little ones, you’re the #1 dad -and one of the most incredible fathers I’ve had the privilege of working with and for.

‘And Britt, you are the glue. The way you juggle it all with grace, little sleep, selflessness, and love is truly inspiring. You’re an amazing mom, (like truly. Inspired how you do it all), a wonderful human, and a friend anyone would be lucky to have.

‘I just can’t say enough about the kind of people, parents, and role models you both are. This is just a little reminder to the world that kindness matters – and that Patrick is so much more than just a football player.’

Brittany shared the post to her Instagram story and added the caption: ‘Crying’.

Artis wrote the post around the quotes Mahomes gave moments after the Super Bowl, where he took responsibility for his team’s surprisingly poor display.

‘They played better than us from start to finish,’ Mahomes said. ‘We didn’t start how we wanted to.

‘The turnovers hurt. I take all the blame for that. Those turnovers swing the moment of the game and they capitalized on them.

‘They scored on one and got a touchdown immediately after another. That’s 14 points I gave them.

‘It’s hard to come back from that in the Super Bowl. I didn’t play to my standard and I have to be better next time.’

Mahomes also addressed fans on X, writing after the game: ‘Appreciate all the love and support from Chiefs Kingdom.

‘I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We will be back.’
