He posted on X, “Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣 #DadBodSZN.” The two-time Super Bowl champ added, “Like i got kids!!!!”
Mahomes Sr. admitted, “I thought it was funny,” but also defended his son’s physique. “What’s crazy is that with that body, people don’t realize how strong Patrick is.

After she attended 12 Chiefs games this season, Mahomes Sr. has gotten to know Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The 12-time Grammy winner, who’s grown close with Mahomes Sr.’s daughter-in-law, Brittany Mahomes, clearly made a good impression. Speaking with Starcade Media last month, Mahomes Sr. was asked about “the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift” amid her romance with Kelce.
“She’s down to earth. I actually walked up and introduced myself to her and she said she knew who I was because she had watched the ‘Quarterback’ series,” he said, referring to the Netflix show.
Mahomes Sr. reiterated that the superstar singer is incredibly grounded. “She took a picture with me and my wife and also took a picture with me and my daughter [Zoe]. So, I mean she was genuine. Every time I’ve hung out with her she just acts like a normal person.”
