Patrick and Brittany Mahomes had another reason to celebrate over the weekend as the couple marked daughter Sterling Skye’s third birthday with an extravagant butterfly-themed ‘Tea for Three’ party at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

In video posted on Instagram, the reigning Super Bowl MVP’s eldest laughs and plays with other young children aboard a series of slides, Merry Go Rounds and an inflatable bounce house. Young Sterling is also seen sipping from a teacup, but it’s impossible to say if she was drinking Earl Grey, English breakfast, Darjeeling, or something a bit more age appropriate.

‘We celebrated our Sterling Skye today!’ Brittany wrote in her Sunday Instagram post. ‘I can’t even believe we will have a 3 year old in just a few days! Time flies when you’re having fun! We love you baby girl.’  Pricing the party is difficult without knowing the exact number of guests, but the a tea service at the Arboretum runs about $60 a head – and that’s without the accompanying birthday party festivities.

The Mahomes family returned to their native Dallas for the party following last week’s shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally, where one woman was killed and at least 22 were injured. Since then, all of the surviving victims have been released from the hospital. Two teenagers have been charged as minors in the shooting.

The couple visited shooting victims at the hospital prior to their release.  Patrick and Brittany met in high school, where she was a star soccer player and he excelled at football, basketball and, like his father Patrick Sr., baseball.

Ultimately Patrick Jr. opted to stick with football, and has since won three Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVP awards. He’s also a two-time NFL Most Valuable player and six-time Pro Bowl selection.  In addition to three-year-old Sterling Skye, the couple also has a son, Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III, who was born in November of 2022.

In addition to the recent festivities, the family has also endured another drunk-driving arrest by Patrick Sr. in recent weeks.   In the week before the Super Bowl, the former MLB relief pitcher was arrested in Smith County, Texas on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. It is at least his third arrest for allege drunk-driving, and could be facing a felony sentence of up to 10 years if he is convicted.

Patrick Jr. said his father was ‘doing good’ after his arrest, but declined to speak further.  ‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ Mahomes said at Super Bowl opening night. ‘That’s all I have to say.’
