In addition to being the parents of three kids, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are also the parents of two dogs, Steel and Silver.

Brittany Mahomes told People in 2024 that for her and her husband, their two dogs are \"basically our children.\"

The dogs have their own Instagram account, @steel_silver_mahomes, with over 200,000 followers.

Patrick Mahomes gifted Steel to Brittany Mahomes, his then-girlfriend, when she was in college, she told People.

\"Patrick bought him for me for a Valentine's Day gift when I was a junior,\" Brittany Mahomes said, adding that the dog's name was inspired by an NFL team. \"So, I actually used to be a [Pittsburgh] Steelers fan and that's how I got the name Steel, so that's a great story.\"

Later on, during Patrick Mahomes' rookie year in the NFL, they adopted Silver, according to Brittany Mahomes.

The mom-of-three shared in 2023 that Silver was originally going to be named Sterling.

\"I got Steel in college and named him that. We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect,\" Brittany Mahomes said in an Instagram Story, according to People. \"Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter's name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.\"

She explained of giving their son his name in 2022, \"Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect.\"
