The soft hum of the engines filled the cabin of the first-class section of an LAX to SFO flight. Passengers were settling in, adjusting their seats, and taking out their noise-canceling headphones. Among them was a man named Kyle, a sharp-dressed middle-aged businessman with a penchant for judging others. He strutted down the aisle, suitcase in hand, exuding the air of someone who thought he owned the world.

Kyle’s eyes scanned the passengers already seated. That’s when he spotted someone he deemed out of place. Sitting by the window in a sleek hoodie and sneakers was a young man casually flipping through a magazine. His face was partially obscured by a cap pulled low, but his demeanor was calm, almost nonchalant. Kyle rolled his eyes. “Typical,” he muttered under his breath as he stuffed his luggage into the overhead compartment. He slid into the seat next to the young man, glancing at him with barely concealed disdain.

“First class must have been a lottery win for you,” Kyle quipped with a condescending smirk, loud enough for the nearby passengers to hear.

The young man looked up briefly, his hazel eyes meeting Kyle’s, then returned to his magazine without a word. Kyle, emboldened by the lack of a response, continued.

“Let me guess, you’re one of those wannabe influencers, posting pictures to pretend you belong here,” he chuckled at his own comment, his voice dripping with arrogance.

The young man smiled faintly but said nothing. This only seemed to irritate Kyle further.

“Silence, huh? I guess when you don’t have the vocabulary, that’s your only option,” Kyle said, leaning back in his seat, clearly enjoying his monologue.

The flight attendant approached, her bright smile faltering as she caught the tension in the air.

“Gentlemen, can I get you anything before takeoff?”

Kyle ordered a sparkling water, his tone overly formal as if to emphasize his importance. The young man politely declined, offering only a small nod.

As the flight progressed, Kyle couldn’t seem to help himself. He kept making snide remarks, questioning the young man’s presence in first class, insinuating he didn’t belong, and loudly recounting his own business successes for everyone around to hear. The young man remained calm, his focus shifting between his magazine and the view outside the window.

Finally, a passenger seated across the aisle, a woman in her late 30s, leaned over.

“Excuse me,” she said, her voice sharp. “Do you realize how rude you’re being?”

Kyle feigned innocence. “I’m just making conversation. Besides, it’s not like he minds, right, buddy?” He nudged the young man, who simply offered another faint smile.

The woman huffed and shook her head, but before she could say more, the captain’s voice crackled over the intercom, announcing they would begin their descent soon.

As the plane descended, the atmosphere grew tense. Several passengers were now eyeing Kyle with disapproval. Oblivious or unwilling to acknowledge their glares, he leaned toward the young man one last time.

“Just some advice for the future,” Kyle said, his tone oozing condescension. “If you’re going to sit in first class, at least dress the part.”

The young man finally spoke, his voice calm but firm. “Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind.”

As the plane landed and passengers began gathering their belongings, the flight attendant approached the young man with a bright smile.

“Mr. Mahomes, thank you for flying with us today. It’s always an honor to have you on board.”

The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. Kyle froze, his hand mid-reach for his bag. “Mr. Mahomes?” His mind raced as he slowly pieced it together. The hoodie, the cap, the calm demeanor – it all made sense now. Patrick Mahomes, the NFL superstar.

Mahomes turned to the flight attendant and thanked her warmly. Then he looked at Kyle, who was now pale and visibly flustered.

“Hope you enjoyed the flight,” Mahomes said with a disarming smile before standing up to leave.

Kyle stammered, his words failing him for the first time during the entire flight.

“I… I didn’t realize…”

Mahomes paused, meeting Kyle’s eyes. “It’s okay,” he said, his voice steady. “But maybe next time, think twice before judging someone you don’t know. You might be surprised who you’re talking to.”

With that, Patrick Mahomes walked down the aisle, greeted warmly by several passengers who now realized who had been sitting among them. Kyle sank back into his seat, his face a mix of embarrassment and regret. The woman across the aisle shook her head, muttering, “Serves you right.”

As the flight emptied, Kyle lingered, replaying the moment in his mind. For the first time in years, he was left speechless – not by a client or a competitor, but by his own arrogance and the lesson humility had taught him.

By the time he reached his car, Kyle had made a decision. He wasn’t going to let this be just another embarrassing moment to brush off. He was going to change, starting with how he treated people – whether they were strangers on a plane or colleagues in a boardroom. As he drove home, the irony wasn’t lost on him. He had spent the entire flight judging a man who, in reality, embodied the values Kyle had lost sight of: humility, kindness, and grace.

For the first time in a long time, Kyle felt hopeful – not because of his success or status, but because he had been given a chance to be better. And he wasn’t going to waste it.

According to the NFL star, if baby no. 3 is born “on a bye week” when the Chiefs aren’t playing, “then everything will work out perfectly.”

In the meantime, Brittany is prepping for the birth by staying as fit and healthy as can be!

The picture, set to Forrest Frank’s song “GOOD DAY,” showed the mom (and her baby bump) sitting while lifting a pair of weights as her mini-me sat on top of her head.

Speaking to PEOPLE in January 2024, Brittany opened up on how the couple’s oldest child loves looking up to her parents.

“[Sterling] loves to watch her dad play football. She can see him from a mile away and pays attention and keeps up with what’s going on with him,” she said at the time.
