Patrick 'Bronze' Lavon Mahomes III
The couple, who were high school sweethearts, announced Bronze's birth on 29 November 2022, by posting a picture of his feet in a onesie over a silver name necklace. The NFL quarterback explained the special significance of his son's name in a news conference. "When me and Brittany had Sterling, we didn’t know if it was a girl or boy at first so we started thinking of girl and boys’ names," he said at the time. "We wanted them to have that connection and them to be brother and sister forever. I’ve always wanted to do Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. I’ve thought about that since I was literally like 5 or 6 years old," he added.
As for his son's nickname, 'Bronze', Mahomes has his brother, Jackson, to thank. "(Jackson) said, 'What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling,' so we went with that," Mahomes said. "It works out well. He can have his own thing now, where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. Then, Sterling and Bronze can have that connection moving forward," he added.
