The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are facing a mix of on- and off-field challenges. The team recently saw their unbeaten streak come to an end with a loss to the Buffalo Bills. Adding to the troubles, Mahomes and teammate Travis Kelce both became victims of home burglaries.
“Obviously, it’s frustrating,” Mahomes admitted. “It’s disappointing, but I can’t get into too many details because the investigation is still ongoing. It’s something that you don’t want to have happen to really anybody, but obviously yourself.”
Amid these trying moments, Brittany Mahomes, Patrick‘s wife, shared a heartwarming glimpse into their family life on social media.
Brittany posted a photo of their daughter, Sterling Skye, showcasing her festive spirit by decorating a Christmas tree. Dressed in a pink pajama set, captioning the post, “Trees are going up!!” hinting at both their holiday preparations and the growth of their little one.
Victims of home burglaries
While this sweet moment offered a welcome distraction, the reality of recent events remains grim. Both Mahomes and Kelce suffered significant losses due to the burglaries.
“That was a massive surprise for all of them, as they really never thought it would happen to them,” an insider told The U.S. Sun.
“That was a very, very frustrating moment, and both Kelce and Mahomes got really mad it happened, and that intruders got into their properties that they consider their ‘safe-haven’ and ‘safe place’ as they are always under the spotlights and always traveling.
“The Mahomes got really angry as Brittany felt really bad that people got into their privacy, into their private spaces, and felt really bad about it for a bit.
“That really bothered them a lot, especially her, as she always wants her safe space and her family and kids to be in the safest places 24/7, and home is their sanctuary in the middle of the super active life they have.”
Reports revealed that thieves targeted Mahomes‘ sprawling estate on October 6, and just days later, Kelce‘s home was also broken into, with cash and valuables worth over $100,000 stolen. Authorities suspect the incidents may be linked to a South American crime ring.
