Patrick Mahomes just won back-to-back Super Bowls last season. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is on his way to win a three-peat in the 2024 season. With the offseason in full swing and the draft looming, he took a well-deserved break to soak up precious family time.
Mahomes showcased the importance of balancing athletic prowess with family values by enjoying the solar eclipse with his wife Brittany and his kids. He made waves on social media for embracing his role as a protective dad when he intervened to prevent his daughter, Sterling Skye Mahomes, from staring directly at the solar eclipse.
Patrick Mahomes goes viral for his dad moment
Patrick and his wife, Brittany shared glimpses of their eclipse-watching experience on Instagram Stories. The couple, accompanied by their children, marveled at the natural spectacle as the moon passed between the Earth and the sun.
However, the adorable family outing took a comedic turn when their daughter, Sterling, attempted to view the eclipse without proper eye protection. Mahomes swiftly shielded his daughter’s eyes to avoid any potential harm. NASA advises against viewing eclipses through any unfiltered lenses, including cameras, phones, binoculars, or telescopes, as they can cause serious eye damage.
The Alpine F1 owner and Sterling later shared a touching moment as they watched the eclipse together, via People. It evoked memories of their iconic father-daughter bond captured during the 2024 Super Bowl.
The total solar eclipse not only provided Mahomes and his family with a memorable bonding experience but also captivated millions across America. Many people paused their daily routines to witness the rare celestial event.

Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, are overjoyed to be the parents of two adorable children. Their daughter, Sterling Skye Mahomes, arrived first on Feb. 20, 2021, marking the beginning of Pat’s journey into fatherhood as a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
Sterling quickly embraced her new role as a big sister when her younger brother, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, was born on Nov. 29, 2022. The couple shared the news of Bronze’s arrival on Instagram, posting a heartwarming photo of his tiny legs in a brown and white onesie, along with his name.
