Poking fun at himself even further, he quoted his post and tagged the Chiefs, NFL and \"Inside the NFL\" accounts, writing, \"Like i got kids!!!!\" followed by more laughing emojis.

Mahomes shares two children, daughter Sterling Skye Mahomes, 2, and son Patrick \"Bronze\" Lavon Mahomes III, 1 with his wife, Brittany Mahomes.

Earlier in 2023, the athlete discussed what it means to be a dad after becoming a father of two during an interview with \"Good Morning America.\"

\"It gives you a different perspective,\" he said at the time. \"You enjoy every day so much more and having them, the years fly by and just try to do whatever I can to enjoy the little moments.\"

The NFL star is currently gearing up for the upcoming Super Bowl where the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

This year will mark the Chiefs' second year in a row making it to the big game after winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy last year.
