Brittany Mahomes Draws the Line: Why Baby Golden Will Stay Out of the Spotlight—for Now!
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
After a challenging Super Bowl LVII loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Patrick Mahomes is unwinding and enjoying some much-needed family time. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, who has been focusing on his career for much of the season, is now savoring the joys of fatherhood with his wife, Brittany Mahomes. The couple welcomed their third child, a daughter named Golden Raye, during the Chiefs’ bye week in January, adding to their growing family that already includes two children, Sterling Skye, 4, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, 2.
While the Mahomes family has frequently shared glimpses of their lives on social media, Brittany has kept baby Golden out of the spotlight—at least for now. Fans of the Chiefs and the Mahomes family have eagerly awaited the first official glimpse of the newborn, but Brittany has been steadfast in maintaining her daughter’s privacy.
In the days following Golden’s birth, Brittany posted only indirect photos—Golden’s tiny feet and her stroller—keeping her baby girl largely hidden from public view. In fact, when Brittany’s personal trainer, Betina Gozo Shimonek, shared a photo of her newborn on Instagram, fans thought they might finally get to see Golden. However, Brittany quickly clarified, posting a playful message saying, “I think I need to clarify, Golden is in the stroller. 🤣 you can’t see her and you won’t for awhile 🤣😘. That is Makoa in the bouncer.”
It’s clear that Brittany is drawing a firm line when it comes to her daughter’s exposure, and fans will have to wait a little longer before catching a glimpse of baby Golden. In a world where celebrity children are often the subject of intense scrutiny, the Mahomes family is choosing to keep things private for now. While their two older children, Sterling and Bronze, are often seen accompanying their parents at games and events, Brittany has made it clear that Golden will remain off social media for a while longer.
This decision comes as Brittany and Patrick balance the demands of their professional lives with their commitment to raising their young family. Patrick himself expressed how much he treasures the time he gets to spend with his children during the offseason. “You take so much time away from those little memories that you have just taking your kids to gym class or whatever it is,” he said. “Whenever I get in the offseason, I try to spend as much time as I can with them, and get to see what they do on a day-to-day basis and build those memories with them.”
While Chiefs Kingdom eagerly anticipates the first public photo of Golden, the Mahomes family’s commitment to protecting her privacy speaks to their dedication to creating a balanced, grounded life for their children. For now, fans will have to be patient and respect the family’s wishes, as Brittany and Patrick continue to prioritize their children’s well-being over the public’s curiosity.
Perhaps, over the summer or when the 2025 NFL season begins, fans will finally get the moment they’ve been waiting for: the first official photo of baby Golden, when her parents feel it’s the right time to share. Until then, Brittany’s message is clear—her family’s privacy is non-negotiable.
