“Tears of Joy and Sorrow: Brittany Mahomes’ Heartfelt Reflection Amid Family Health Struggles”

Fall is about so much more than football for the Mahomes family. Sure, Brittany Mahomes is all about cheering on husband Patrick Mahomes in style with her (often) twinning tots in tow, but the “First Family of Football” also knows there’s so much more to autumn than throwing around the pigskin.

There’s apple picking. And pumpkin patches. And hayrides. And Halloween (before we freakin’ know it!).

And the crème de la crème: There’s apple cider doughnuts.

Brittany — who is expecting her third child with her beloved high school sweetheart — just shared a new carousel of photos with kids Sterling Mahomes, 3 and Bronze Mahomes, 1. More than anything, the two cuties look so happy to each have a festive, sugar-coated donut of their own. Bronze — who is a little prince of side eye — has a precious smile on his face with the donut placed in front of him, and Sterling couldn’t be prouder, holding hers up for the camera.

“The cutest family! I think they are cheesing hard for those donuts!😂 happy fall 🍁🍁🍁,” one follower commented. “The smiles say it all! 🍩,” another said.

In other sweet photos, the family of four (soon-to-be five!) sits in front of a pig mural and later stands together in an orchard. “The Best Days🤎🍂,” Brittany captioned the post.

“Beautiful family! ❤️🙌,” one fan commented. “What a fun time ❤️👏,” another added.

Brittany shared a similar batch of photos earlier this month. She and her two kiddos visited another orchard and enjoyed an epic slide. “The moments that mean the most, big Fall Pumpkin Patch Fam🍂🎃🤎,” the co-owner of the Kansas City Current captioned her post.

Though she’s normally decked out in Chiefs red and gold, Sterling took on a totally different aesthetic for this outing. The toddler was embracing Barbiecore in her ruffly pink dress and matching bow.

In an interview with SheKnows earlier this year, Brittany talked about how much she adores motherhood.

“Oh my goodness, I love being a mom,” she said. “I think I’ve been called to be a mom ever since I was little. Just seeing my kids grow up, and the things that they’re learning, and the things that they’re taking from their dad … when we have first experiences with them, taking them somewhere, seeing them happy and lit up and in good spirits when we do stuff, is probably the biggest thing that I enjoy.”
