Patrick Mahomes married Brittany Matthews, his high school sweetheart, in 2022. The couple has two children together. Their relationship is often highlighted in celebrity news, and they are known for sharing family moments on social media.
His father is Pat Mahomes, a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher, and his mother is Randi Martin. Mahomes has a younger brother, Jackson, who is a social media influencer. Mahomes's parents divorced in 2006. His half-brother through his father, Graham Walker, plays football at Brown University. He is also the godson of former MLB pitcher LaTroy Hawkins, who was his father's teammate on the Minnesota Twins. Mahomes is biracial, as his father is black and his mother is white.
A former baseball pitcher and considered by some a dual-threat quarterback and the "most talented player in the NFL" due to his elusiveness in the pocket, arm strength, running ability, and athleticism despite being a pass-first quarterback, Mahomes is also known for attempting and completing innovative throws, including no-look passes and behind-the-back tosses. FiveThirtyEight also cites his unique and "uncanny" ability to know his receivers' timing and use his athleticism to fool defenders and get his receivers open. Mahomes credits his years playing baseball with developing his arm strength while throwing the football. Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, which was the first Super Bowl to feature two black starting quarterbacks as the Chiefs faced off against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes acknowledged that his creative playing style was inspired by that of Negro league baseball players, especially Satchel Paige, who likewise inspired his father's baseball playing style.
Mahomes is an evangelical Christian. His mother said he found his faith when he was in middle school, where he was involved with a youth group at his church. Mahomes has said, "Faith is huge for me ... Before every game, I walk the field and I do a prayer at the goalpost. I just thank God for those opportunities and I thank God for letting me be on a stage where I can glorify Him. The biggest thing that I pray for is that whatever happens, win or lose, success or failure, that I'm glorifying Him."
