With three Super Bowl victories, Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has cemented his status as an NFL superstar. But behind every star is a person who shaped them, and for Patrick, that person is his mother, Randi Mahomes. Being a single mother was the defining theme of Randi Mahomes’ life. Randi found herself navigating life as a mother of three after her divorce from Patrick’s father in 2006, juggling work, household duties, and raising kids in the hopes that their aspirations would outweigh any obstacles life threw at them.

She managed the household while working two jobs and frequently rushing back and forth between picking up the children from school and going to their practices. “Being a single mother of three kids… working two jobs was hard. It was something I prayed about constantly, asking God to be there and guide me,” said Randi. It was a grind that many wouldn’t be able to endure, but Randi did it with grace.

So, on Mother’s Day 2025, Jackson Mahomes decided to give a shout-out to his mother for all the sacrifices she made for them. He shared a touching message for his mother on his Instagram story. In a lovely tribute that perfectly captured their relationship, he shared a photo of the two of them together. Jackson wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day! I love you so much!!” The post was a clear expression of love for the lady who raised him. Randi Mahomes did not leave her son on read.

In return, she reposted Jackson’s picture on her own Instagram story. Her caption? A straightforward yet equally profound “Love you son❤️.” Fans rarely get to witness their tight friendship behind their public personalities, but this exchange was a sweet moment that showed us just that.

For Randi, this was a moment that belonged solely to her and her son. The real victory for Randi was watching all her kids stand tall, knowing how much she had given to bring them there, even if the world frequently focuses on Patrick Mahomes’ NFL accomplishments. Because, as she has previously acknowledged, it wasn’t simple, “As a sports parent, you want to be involved in everything. You want to cheer the loudest, give the best advice. And make sure your child has every opportunity.”

However, it’s interesting to note that Patrick Mahomes didn’t acknowledge the occasion or post a public message for his mother on this important day. Rather, he went on to post about his unique experience on Instagram.

Patrick Mahomes rewrote Texas history

Mahomes shared photos of himself in a No. 5 jersey with the name “Whitehouse,” remembering his early days in Whitehouse, Texas. “It’s an honor to be inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame. As a part of this recognition, I’m proud to announce that @adidasfballus and I are signing 15 high schools to Team Mahomes that will represent my Gladiator logo on uniform, starting with Whitehouse High School. This is just the beginning,” he wrote. It’s a full-circle moment for Patrick, paying tribute to his roots while making an impact on the next generation.

This induction isn’t just another honor—it places Patrick Mahomes among the greatest names in Texas football. Patrick joins icons like Jeff Traylor and Robert Griffin III in the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame, forever inscribing his journey from the small town of Whitehouse to the NFL’s biggest stage. As the first player from the 2010s to earn this honor, he proves not only his unmatched skill but also his undeniable impact on Texas football.

So, this Mother’s Day saw contrasting moments for the Mahomes family. Patrick decided to announce his induction into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame while Randi Mahomes soaked in the affection of her sons. Whether it’s a heartfelt Instagram message or a monumental career milestone, the love and support within the Mahomes family is undeniable.
