Patrick Mahomes embraces emotional side with father
Randi Mahomes divorced Pat Mahomes Sr almost 17 years ago. She opened up about how his fame during his MLB career was too much for her, and she thought it was best for both of them to go on their separate ways.

And even his dad was present as he watched his son go on to make an epic comeback victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl LVII finals.
In episode 8 of the docuseries called ‘Quarterback’, we see the 27-year-old share a few emotional moments with his family after winning the Super Bowl game.

And the second was meeting his dad. Patrick Mahomes talked about how he embraced his dad after winning both his Super Bowls. In a heartwarming moment, we see the 27-year-old hug his father affectionately, while saying “Love you”. Pat Mahomes Sr. embraced his son tightly, stating that he’s never seen anyone quite like Mahomes. “Love you to death”, is what the QB’s father told him, as it was definitely a proud moment for him.
And his father has been there in his son’s NFL journey since day 1. Not only this, but Pat Mahomes Sr also follows a particular superstition that he believes helps Patrick Mahomes shine on the football field.
Mahomes’ dad follows this superstition
While being an MLB star himself, it has not stopped Pat Mahomes Sr from being proud of his son’s achievements in the NFL. A few years ago, Fox4 interviewed Mahomes’ dad and asked him about how he feels raising a son who is making a name for himself in football. They also went on to talk about how the quarterback’s father wears the same clothes on the sidelines while attending his son’s football games. The former MLB pitcher does this so that his son can continue his winning streak on the field. Pat Mahomes Sr. went on to elaborate on how baseball players are generally “superstitious”, and how following this superstition has been working out for his son.
As the 2X SB champion now gears up to prepare for a new season in the next few days, fans can be sure to once again catch a glimpse of the Mahomes clan cheering on the QB from the sidelines.
