The high school sweethearts gave all the details.

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes are now the parents of three.

The couple, who also share daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Bronze, 2, welcomed their third baby on January 12, 2025, and shared the news via Instagram with a photo of them holding the newborn’s feet.

The high school sweethearts, who wed in 2022, also revealed the baby girl’s rare name: Golden Raye Mahomes.

Here are the baby name details.

Golden

Origin: English
Meaning: Gold, according to Nameberry.com
Similar Names and Variations: Goldie, Goldy, Golda, and Lucida
Famous Namesakes: Not many famous people have this name but there’s actress Golden Ameda Brooks and former NFL player Golden Tate.
Peak Popularity: This name first appeared on the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) top 1,000 baby girl names list in 1900 as the 711th most popular name. It remained on the list for most years until 1921 and hasn’t appeared since. It had about the same popularity as the boy’s name Golden which last appeared on the top 1,000 baby boy names list in 1924.1

Raye

Origin: English
Meaning: Ewe, according to Nameberry.com
Similar Names and Variations: Rae, Ray, and Rhéa
Famous Namesakes: Aside from British singer Raye, not many famous people have this name either.
Peak Popularity: With this spelling, the name has never appeared on the SSA’s top baby names list.2

Patrick and Brittany also have two dogs named Silver and Steel so their baby name choice is unlikely to be a surprise to fans. In fact, some were guessing on social media that they’d name their third one Goldie which is close enough!

Brittany Mahomes listened to her 3-year-old’s baby name suggestion … and then promptly let it go.

“My daughter wants me to name her Elsa. She was set on it for a while, but obviously we’re not doing that!” Brittany told TODAY.com in an interview in December 2024.

Instead of a name inspired by “Frozen,” Brittany and her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, went with something a little warmer: Golden Raye. Golden, who was born on Jan. 12, joined sister Sterling and brother Bronze, 2.

Though Brittany and Patrick were immediately in agreement on Golden, they struggled with her middle name.

“We went back and forth for a while,” Brittany said. “But the one we settled on, we really, really love.”

It’s safe to say Sterling and Bronze are excited about their family’s new addition. In December, Bronze, whose legal name is Patrick Mahomes III, was more than ready to meet his “baby sissy.”

“All he says is ‘I want baby sissy,’ and then he’ll ask to see my stomach … although I’m not sure if it’s registered that an actual human is coming,” Brittany said. “And Sterling is completely obsessed. She loves to play with babies.”

Brittany, who experienced sickness and exhaustion during her first trimester, praised Patrick, her high school sweetheart, for being the “most supportive husband in the world.”

“If I’m complaining or I’m in a bad mood, he gets it. He’s not gonna argue with me,” she said. “He’s not gonna push my buttons. He knows.”

Brittany opened up to TODAY while discussing a partnership with Crate & Kids. The former professional soccer player worked with the furniture brand to design Golden’s “super rosy” and a “little bit moody” nursery.

Golden’s modern room features a sherpa swivel glider and a sleek bassinet upholstered with vegan leather. When Golden is a bit older, she will move into a white convertible crib.

The space also features sweet accents including a print that reads, “Let your light shine,” a custom name sign and a blanket monogrammed with Golden’s initials.

“I’m a very modern-type mom. I like to keep things simple and sleek, but I also love a good cozy, homey vibe,” she said.

For Brittany, the most important element was a “super comfy chair” to relax in while breastfeeding.

“As the mom of a newborn you spend a lot of time in that chair!” Brittany noted.

In Golden’s closet, you’ll find an array of onesies and pjs. Brittany said she’s learned her lessson about fancy newborn outfits.

“When people (first) have kids, they buy all these outfits to dress them up in — but then they live in pajamas. At least my kids do,” Brittany explained. “You just need the simple basics. I feel like everybody tries to go way overboard.”
