Brittany and Patrick Mahomes continued their striking tradition of elemental-themed names after announcing the birth of their third child, Golden Raye, on Monday.
The 29-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star and his wife shared a glimpse of their baby daughter’s foot via Instagram, proudly introducing the newest addition to their family.
The couple also shares Sterling Skye, three, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes II, two. As their unique naming tradition has captured the attention of fans, there is a sentimental story behind their metal-inspired names.
In a Q&A on Instagram in May 2023, the blonde fox shared that their naming theme started years ago – with their pups. It started with the couple’s two dogs, Steel and Silver, whose names she claimed.
“I got Steel in college and called him that. Then we got another dog and I wanted to name her Sterling because he was a perfect match for Steel. But I decided to save that name for my daughter,” she explained at the time.
And when the iconic NFL lovebirds welcomed their second child, a boy born in 2022, they turned to Patrick’s younger brother, Jackson, 24, for inspiration.

Patrick revealed during a press conference that Jackson Mahomes came up with the nickname Bronze.
“Jackson suggested Brons fit with Sterling, and it was a perfect fit,” the quarterback explained at the time. “It’s a good time.”
“He can have his own thing now, where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And Sterling and Bronze can continue that connection in the future,” he added.
With the birth of their daughter Golden Raye completing the metallic trifecta, fans are already speculating which name the Mahomes will choose if they choose to grow their family.
Patrick had said on Christmas Day 2024 that Brittany would be giving birth soon and joked that he hoped it would be during his team’s bye week before the NFL playoffs.
Speaking after his team defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 25, a victory that gave his team an extra week off before the playoffs.
The athlete said: ‘I told my pregnant wife that I was going to give her number one seed so we could have that baby. So we have that number one seed.”
Patrick and Brittany are high school sweethearts. They started dating in March 2012 and even went to their prom together a year later.

The high-profile couple got engaged in September 2020, months after Patrick won his first Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
“You don’t think it’s going to be nerve-wracking, especially when you’ve been with someone for so long, but before you get down on that knee your heart is going to be racing, I promise,” he shared, recalling the moment she fell to one knee.
Later that month, they announced they were expecting their first child. The couple eventually married in Hawaii in March 2022, following the birth of their first child, daughter Sterling.
Over the past 18 months, Brittany has struck up a high-profile friendship with Taylor Swift after the pop megastar started dating Mahomes’ teammate Travis Kelce.
