Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes counts his mom, Randi Martin, and dad, Pat Mahomes, among his biggest fans
Patrick Mahomes’ parents, Pat Mahomes and Randi Martin, are his biggest cheerleaders.
“I knew when it came to sports, he was going to be able to reach whatever level he wanted,” Randi said during a January 2020 FOX4 interview.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback gets his athletic talent from his dad, Pat, who was an MLB pitcher in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Patrick’s parents were married from the late ’90s until their divorce in 2006. They’re the proud parents of Patrick and his younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, and the loving grandparents of Patrick’s children, Sterling Skye Mahomes and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III.
Patrick and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Feb. 11, 2024, in Las Vegas and his mom was there to cheer him on as he won MVP. Nearly one week before the big game, Pat was arrested on suspicion of a DWI. According to jail records, he was booked in the Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, on Feb. 3, where he faced a charge of a DWI for the third time or more. He was released on a $10,000 bond the next day.
“I don’t really want to get into it too much, but he’s doing good for whatever the situation is,” Patrick told reporters on Feb. 5. “It’s a family matter. I’ll just keep it to the family, and that’s all I really have to say at this point.”
While Patrick prepared for the 2024 Super Bowl after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens, his family was by his side.
“Being a mother is my favorite thing sometimes,” Randi told PEOPLE in February 2024. “Sometimes it’s hard, but it is my favorite thing, and I always say, ‘Where would I be without it?’ ”

God is great ,” she wrote in the caption.

Randi and Pat married in the late ’90s and got divorced in 2006. On her website, Randi explains that though she and her ex-husband experienced hardships during their marriage, they have a healthy co-parenting relationship. “After high school, Randi met Patrick’s father and they quickly reconnected and started a family,” her bio reads. “When they met, Randi had no idea that her future husband was a star athlete that played professional baseball.”
The post continues, “Married life with a professional baseball player is a hard life and took a toll on their relationship, which led to divorce. True to Randi’s optimistic spirit, the two are friendly to this day.”
The former spouses frequently reunite to support Patrick at his games and during his milestone moments.
Pat urged his son to quit football at first

Like his dad, Patrick was a three-sport athlete in high school, playing football, baseball and basketball. While he was talented at all three, Pat thought he showed the most promise in baseball.
“He grew up in the clubhouse, he was always around the game, and he was always the best player on his baseball team,” Pat told the Los Angeles Times of his son. “He was an unbelievable shortstop, he always led his team in hitting, and he threw 97 mph on the mound, so I always thought he was gonna be a baseball player.”
At one point, Pat wanted his son to quit football after his sophomore year in order to focus on baseball. “I just thought we were wasting time when he could have been working on the sports he would go to college for, baseball and basketball. Plus, I didn’t want him to get hurt,” he told the newspaper.
However, mom Randi intervened. “She told him to pray on it and think hard about what he wanted to do, and God would give him the answers. I guess God told him to keep on playing,” Pat recalled.
Now, Pat thinks his son’s experience playing both baseball and basketball is what helped shaped him into the quarterback he is today. “You can tell by the way Patrick plays quarterback that he took pieces of his basketball, the jump throws and no-look passes, and pieces of his baseball, the different arm angles, and he put it all together in a package in football,” he added.

Pat and Randi are their son’s biggest fans, and they have different ways of expressing their support for him. The former pro baseball player is very superstitious and wears the same clothes repeatedly to ensure wins for his son. “Anything for a win,” he said during a January 2020 FOX4 interview. “[What’s working] is working, so you know, you just got to keep rolling it out until it fails.” He then recalled almost “freezing to death” wearing the same white shorts and T-shirt during the winter.
Randi also opened up about her pride for her son to FOX4. “I am very, very proud. I always say we’re blessed. He’s blessed to be able to do his dream — to live doing exactly what he loves,” she told the outlet.

Randi also showed support for her son’s big win by sharing some post-game photos of the athlete on Instagram. She included a shot of Patrick with his brother and half-sister Mia, a snap of the quarterback resting in a chair and a picture of her and Patrick smiling together.
“This moms most real picture of the night,” she captioned a solo photo of Patrick. “So many emotions looking at it of love and dedication. My first born, who made me grow up and be a mom…he taught me how to forever love unconditionally.”
Randi and Pat are Taylor Swift fans

In October 2023, Randi met Taylor Swift at the Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game. The new friends, who were both wearing red lipstick, took a few selfies together.
A few months later, in January 2024, it was Pat’s turn to talk about Swift in an interview with Kansas City outlet Starcade Media. He called her “down to earth” when sharing the story of their first meeting.
“I actually walked up and introduced myself to her, and she said she knew who I was because she had watched the Quarterback series,” he said. “Every time I’ve hung out with her, she just acts like a normal person.”

While speaking to PEOPLE in February 2024, Randi said that she was giving Patrick “a lot of space” as he prepared to play in the 2024 Super Bowl.
“We don’t talk as much because he’s busy, and so today he texts me when I let him know that we landed and what we were doing and he’s like, ‘Love you mom,’ and you know we just kind of keep our connection. But right now I’m letting him have his moment,” she said.
A few days later, Patrick led his team to victory for the second year in a row.
