Eight years ago, Patrick Mahomes and his family led a completely different life. The 3x Super Bowl winner was in college, and his mother, Randi Mahomes, worked two jobs to keep the family afloat. They say money changes people, so imagine what $450 million would do to you. Sure, the money has all the positives, but Mahomes’ mother struggles to keep in touch with him these days.
Winning 3 Super Bowls didn’t make the quarterback’s life easy. Instead, he has the added pressure to take the Kansas City Chiefs one step further and make them one of the most storied franchises in the league. The journey has made Mahomes independent. Now he has a family, and his mother reminisces of the good old days when he used to rely on her. “It’s a new life, almost a new way of living. It’s a little different than the way we were living eight years ago and he would call me for money. I kind of enjoyed it whenever they actually needed me for money because my boys needed me for something. And so, I’m like ‘Okay, they don’t even need me for money like to take them to dinner.’ They take me to dinner and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute….’ Randi Mahomes disclosed on The Mom Game Podcast.
The times have changed for the better with Mahomes pulling off the heavy-duty stuff. His mother described the change as a “weird, hard thing.” Who wouldn’t?

It’s understandable because first, the QB doesn’t have a lot of time on his hands. Secondly, fans and media make it difficult for them to have a pleasant time in public.
“I’m a little selfish sometimes. I want them to myself. I want to be able to talk to them and not have anyone around and just be our family,” the Super Bowl winner’s mother expressed. Throughout the segment, one thing was apparent: Randi Mahomes yearns for her son to call her just to talk or ask for a favor. Luckily, she got her opportunity a couple of months ago.
Patrick Mahomes still needs his mother, Randi Mahomes
Randi Mahomes had a bittersweet story to share on KENS 5: Your San Antonio News Source. One fine day, he called his mother to see if she could fit him into a golf event. That’s because he doesn’t want to use his status to get the things that he wants. Also, it gave him a reason to reach out to his mother.
“I was like, that was something I needed as a mom. To pick up and need me for something,” an elated Randi Mahomes said. The video was released somewhere around Mother’s Day, so it was a perfect segue into their relationship. Nevertheless, the Kansas City Chiefs are on a 3-peat run this year and Mahomes’ time might be cut short even more.
Also, the Chiefs have 9 of their last 15 games on the road, which might also add to the problem. Perhaps, a call now and then can make things better. What do you make of
