Caitlin Clark, Taylor Swift fans, more congratulate Brittany, Patrick Mahomes on baby
Golden Raye Mahomes arrived in the world this week on a wave of well wishes from thousands of people — from her daddy’s employer to fans of her mommy’s friend, Taylor Swift.
The third child of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, was born Sunday, the couple announced jointly on social media Monday.
Golden Raye joins big sister Sterling Skye, 3, and brother Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 2, at home.
Among more than 400,000 followers who liked the couple’s announcement on Instagram was superstar singer Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Others included KC native and “Saturday Night Live” star Heidi Gardner; Chiefs players DeAndre Hopkins, Derrick Nnadi, Skyy Moore, Mike Pennel, Noah Gray and Mecole Hardman; the Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr., and former Chiefs teammates Willie Gay and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Sports illustrated congratulated the new mom with a photo from her debut photo shoot in the SI Swimsuit Issue last year.
“This hot mama just became a mother of THREE! Congratulations on your Golden girl @brittanylynne.” the magazine wrote. “We are so excited to see your beautiful family grow. Enjoy every precious moment!”
Dozens of family, friends, work colleagues and fans of the couple offered congratulations.
The quarterback’s father, Patrick Sr.: “Another beautiful granddaughter. Great job Britt.”
Patrick’s brother, Jackson Mahomes: “Uncle jack loves her so much already.”
The Chiefs: “Congratulations Patrick and Brittany! Welcome to Chiefs Kingdom, Golden.”
Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt: “Rejoicing with you! So thankful she arrived easily and you’re both thriving!” (The Hunt children, Gracie Hunt and Knobel Hunt, added their congrats, too.)
Chiefs chaplain Marcellus Casey: “Thank you Jesus!”
Chiefs fan and WNBA star Caitlin Clark, wrote “congrats” on the announcement with a red heart emoji.

The KC Current tweeted on X: “The Mahomes are in their Golden era. Congratulations to our co-owners @BrittanyLynne & @PatrickMahomes on their baby girl.”
“The New Heights Show,” hosted by Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, added their congratulations, too, as did several Taylor Swift fan accounts.
Brittany and Swift became friends last year when Kelce and the Eras Tour superstar began dating.
Fellow NFL WAG, Kristin Juszczyk, also wished the family well. “So incredibly excited for your family!” wrote the fashion designer wife of wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
Five days before she had the baby, Brittany Mahomes, co-owner of the Current, shared maternity photos with a short message to her baby girl: “Hello 2025 we’re ready for you little one.”
The couple announced last summer that their third child, a girl, was on the way.
Talk of her due date ramped up when the Chiefs earned a bye week as the NFL playoffs began.
“I told my wife, my pregnant wife, I was going to get that No. 1 seed, so we can go have that baby,” Mahomes said in a Netflix interview. “So we got the No. 1 seed.”
And Goldie arrived on the weekend when NFL teams that didn’t get a bye in the postseason were playing.
After the baby’s birth was announced Monday, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport tweeted on X: “Best use of a bye week.”
