00:00There's a new chief in town. NFL power couple Patrick and Brittany Mahomes welcomed their
00:06third child into the world on January 12, and the star quarterback's daughter is already making
00:11plenty of headlines and a few celebrity friends. The now three-time parents showed off a glimpse
00:17of their new arrival on Instagram, with Brittany posting a tastefully cropped picture of her and
00:22Patrick holding hands over the tiny feet of their baby, Golden Ray Mahomes. Congratulations
00:29soon poured in from all over the internet, but our eyes caught a number of fellow celeb reactions
00:35slipped in amongst all the regular fanfare. Most notable was the quiet but mighty like
00:41by Taylor Swift, who has become Brittany's bestie in the making,
00:45ever since she started dating Patrick's fellow Kansas City chief, Travis Kelsey. Speaking of,
00:51the Kelsey brothers sent their congratulations by commenting as such from the official account
00:56for their New Heights podcast. Kristen Juszczyk, fellow NFL wife and in-demand fashion designer
01:03— that's her work being worn by Taylor and Brittany — commented,
01:06"'Congratulations. So incredibly excited for your family.'"
01:10Meanwhile, WNBA star Katelyn Clark dropped a congrats — with a heart emoji, of course.
01:17Louisiana State University gymnast and social media beauty Olivia Dunn dropped a congratulations,
01:23and fellow Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jenna Sims-Kepka to get in on the action by writing,
01:30"'Love the name. Congrats, mama.'"
01:32The new baby arrived during a rare week off for the busy couple,
01:36a bye week in the chief's schedule that was just what the two were hoping for.
01:40The happy circumstance meant Patrick could be fully present,
01:43off the field and with his growing family, which in interviews he said was exactly what he wanted.
01:48"'My wife, my pregnant wife, I was gonna get her the number one seed so we can go have that baby,
01:52so we got the one seed.'"
01:53And you couldn't ask for better motivation as Kansas City chases a third straight Super Bowl
01:58win. Talk about a golden ray of sunshine. And about that name, Golden joins her siblings in
02:04what's become a running theme of metal-inspired names in the Mahomes family. Their youngest
02:09daughter is named Sterling, which was a name originally meant for Brittany's second dog.
02:14For the dog, the couple settled on Silver, and their first dog, if you're curious, was named
02:19Steel. The couple kept the theme going with their second child after Sterling,
02:24Bronze. Brittany explained the choice on Instagram during a Q&A, saying,
02:28"'Having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect.'"
02:35But now that they've brought Golden into the fold, their family may well be complete.
02:39Patrick told reporters at a chief's press conference,
02:42"'I'm done, I'll say that. I said three and I'm done.'"
02:46And that's probably for the best, if only because we're starting to run out of nice-sounding metal
02:51names. Tungsten? Maybe? Yeah, maybe not.
