Between shuffling to MLB stadiums with his dad and diving into his passion for football, Patrick Mahomes Jr. also stayed close to his mother, Randi. According to The Sun, Patrick Mahomes Sr. and Randi divorced when their eldest son was 6, but stayed connected. The two remain extremely close, even though she often attempts to avoid the spotlight. While the quarterback's father seemed to be the athletic supporter of the family, his mother harped on schoolwork, ClutchPoints reported.
Patrick Jr. continued to play baseball and football throughout high school, ultimately having to make a decision to declare for the MLB draft or take a football scholarship. It appears his mother advocated for taking the academic route and encouraged him to take the scholarship option, thereby getting a great education in the process. Making one of the choices that would change football history, he opted for the football route under the guidance of both his parents.
Today, both Patrick Sr. and Randi are actively involved in the Chiefs organization. Randi works as a stand-in for her son at charity events and helps out around the team, SportsCasting notes. And as far as parenting goes, the younger Mahomes will soon have a crash course — he's expecting a child with fiancé, Brittany Matthews, reports TODAY. His second Super Bowl appearance presents him with a record-making opportunity as well — to win back-to-back championships. Between his support from his parents and his new family, Patrick Jr. certainly has a worthy fan club.
