Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, who were high school sweethearts, have created a loving family since their wedding in March 2022. They welcomed their first child, daughter Sterling Skye, in February 2021, followed by their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, in November 2022.
As the couple navigates parenthood, they’ve lovingly crafted unique names for their children that reflect their personalities and family ties.
In an engaging Instagram Q&A session in April 2023, Brittany shared the backstory behind their children’s names. It all began with their dog, Steel, whom Brittany had named in college. Initially, they considered naming their second dog Sterling, but Brittany had a change of heart.
“One day, I want that to be my daughter’s name,” she revealed. Ultimately, they opted for the name Sterling, perfectly complementing Steel. The name Bronze, inspired by Patrick’s brother, Jackson Mahomes, seemed like a natural fit for their son.
Brittany has also delighted fans with the playful nicknames she and Patrick have chosen for their children: “Squish” and “Miss Priss.” Brittany revealed these affectionate monikers on Instagram, with fans quickly embracing the adorable titles. “Squish” likely refers to Bronze’s round, cherubic cheeks, while “Miss Priss” may capture Sterling’s charming, delicate demeanor.
On March 24, 2024, Brittany shared a series of heartwarming family photos on Instagram, showcasing the Mahomes clan dressed in matching Adidas outfits. The images radiated joy and love, highlighting the close-knit bond among the family members. In the accompanying caption, Brittany emphasized the special nicknames, and fans eagerly chimed in with their approval. Comments ranged from heartfelt to humorous, with one fan quipping, “Squish and Ms. Priss. That’s hilarious!”
As their children grow, many fans have noted how quickly they’re maturing, especially Bronze, who is set to turn 2 in November 2024. Observers marveled at the pair’s development, with comments like, “I can’t believe how big Bronze is getting.” Some even pointed out how close in size he is to his older sister, Sterling, who is now 3.
Brittany and Patrick have often expressed their pride in the sibling bond that Sterling and Bronze share. When Bronze was born, Sterling embraced her new role as a big sister wholeheartedly. Patrick shared that Sterling was thrilled about having a baby brother, eager to hold and care for him. “She wants to hold him, and take care of him, and everything like that,” he recounted during an interview.
However, the proud parents have had to remind Sterling to treat her brother with care, humorously noting, “We have to tell her to don’t throw him like a toy baby.” Patrick also shared that Sterling was still adjusting to sharing her parents’ attention, but her love for Bronze was undeniable. In fact, Sterling affectionately calls him “buddy,” a nickname that Brittany happily shared with her followers on social media.
As fans watch this adorable family grow, it’s clear that the Mahomes are not only thriving in their roles as parents but also creating lasting memories filled with love, laughter, and plenty of cuteness. With nicknames like Squish and Miss Priss, it’s no wonder they capture the hearts of their followers, bringing a touch of joy to their fans through every post and family photo shared online.
