Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are going to need a bigger family photo. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife announced Tuesday that they are expecting their fourth child, sharing the news in a joint Instagram post, ESPN reported (opens in a new tab).

The post featured beachside photos of the couple with their three children and a caption that read, "Another blessing from God ... & then there were 6," according to ESPN. The couple did not share a due date.

A growing household in Kansas City

The new baby will join daughter Sterling Skye, 5, son Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, 3, and daughter Golden Raye, 1.

Patrick and Brittany were high school sweethearts in Texas and married in Hawaii in March 2022, per ESPN.

Mahomes added a joke of his own in the comments, writing that he was going after Philip Rivers' record for kids, WHIO reported (opens in a new tab). Rivers has 10 children, so the Mahomes family still has some ground to cover.

The news landed on a busy day for the Chiefs

The announcement came on the same day as the NFL trade deadline, when Kansas City acquired wide receiver Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for fourth- and fifth-round selections.

On the field, the Chiefs are 6-2 after a 35-12 win over the New York Jets at Arrowhead on Nov. 8, which ended a two-game losing streak after road losses at Seattle and Denver. Kansas City visits the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, according to the Chiefs' schedule (opens in a new tab).

Mahomes, 31, has won three Super Bowls and two NFL MVP awards with Kansas City, and the household is about to get a little louder.
