NFL star Patrick Mahomes' mom Randi once opened up about being oblivious to Mahomes Sr.'s baseball career during dating phase

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is eying his third Lombardi Trophy to his resume. To do so, he will have to take down the Brock Purdy-led San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's highly anticipated Super Bowl matchup. Amid all this, it's interesting to note that the NFL star's father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., is a former MLB player.

His mother, Randi Mahomes, has her own website, where she describes herself as the ‘quarterback producer.’ She shared her journey and also added an extra revelation regarding her early dating life with Patrick Mahomes Sr. The website's bio said that Randi didn't know that Patrick's father was an MLB star.

The bio also mentioned that being the wife of a baseball athlete took a toll on their married life, which led to their divorce in 2006. However, the couple is friendly and co-parents their children.

"Married life with a professional baseball player is a hard life and took a toll on their relationship which lead to divorce. True to Randi’s optimistic spirit, the two are friendly to this day." [via The QB Producer]

Not much is known about the divorce details but the Chiefs quarterback stayed with his mother after the split.
