The frontrunner to win the MVP this season is the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who in addition to having a season in which his team can finish as the best in the AFC, just became a father for the second time a day after beating the Los Angeles Rams 26-10.
His son’s name is Patrick Lavon Mahomes III, but he has the nickname ‘Bronze’, which has come to grow the family he already has with his wife Brittany and daughter Sterling.
Proud to have an heir bearing his name
“It’s great, obviously,” Mahomes said. “It’s awesome to have a son to add to my family. Everything has been great and everything has been going well – and Brittany is a champion. So it’s been really great.”
But what many fans want to know is why the nickname ‘bronze,’ which many believe is the third in line with the same name as his grandfather and father, but Mahomes himself explained where the nickname came from:
“Yeah, when Brittany and I had Sterling we didn’t know if it was a girl or a boy at first,” Mahomes explained. “So we started thinking about girl names and boy names. We wanted, obviously, for (Sterling and Bronze) to have that connection so they would be brother and sister forever.

“And so, I’ve always wanted to do Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. I’ve thought about it since I was literally like five or six years old. I always thought (the nickname) was going to be ‘Tre’ as the third one. You hear a lot of people do that.
“My brother Jackson, when we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he’d say, ‘How about Bronze? It fits right in with Sterling.’ So we went with that.”
The nickname gives him independence
“It works out well,” Mahomes said. “Now he can have his own thing, where it’s not Patrick, it’s Bronze, even though it’s Patrick. And Sterling and Bronze can have that connection going forward,” said Mahomes, who also commented on how proud and excited his father is with his grandson.
“He was excited, for sure,” Mahomes said of his father. “My dad, as he’s gotten older, he’s gotten a little more emotional, I think like all of us. He was here this weekend, so it worked out perfectly that my family got to see him before he left and went back to Tyler, Texas.”
