Before Patrick Mahomes was an NFL star, his mom, Randi Mahomes, was a young mom with a lot on her plate.
Now, sheās reflecting on her journey raising the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback ahead of his fourth Super Bowl appearance in an interview with PEOPLE.
āPatrick is my first child, and I grew up with him basically,ā says Randi, 48. āI had him at a young age, and I donāt go out saying thatās the best thing to do, but it was the best thing for me just because it made me grow up.ā
The mother-of-three says she felt directionless just before learning she was pregnant with Patrick in 1995 at age 20. āSometimes, I look back and Iām like, āWhere would I be if I didnāt have him?ā Because I wasnāt going down a bad road, I just wasnāt going on a road,ā Randi says.
Randi shares Patrick, 28, and Jackson Mahomes, 23, with Pat Mahomes Sr. She is also mom to Mia Randall, 12, from another relationship.
After graduating high school, she moved out of her parentsā house and was ākind of living on friendsā couches for a few years,ā she says. But having Patrick āchangedā her into āa whole new person.ā
āIt was kind of like flipping a coin.ā
Randi is the youngest of four children, and her mother, Debbie, was the youngest of 11 kids. āSo, I have 50-something first cousins,ā says Randi. Still, she didnāt have any experience raising children until Patrick was born.
Suddenly, āI had someone that needed me,ā says Randi. āAnd so, for forever, he was my little best friend. We were together 24/7, and I learned with him.ā
She continues, āHe made me grow up in a good way, in a great way. Being a mother is my favorite thing sometimes, and sometimes itās hard, but it is my favorite thing, and I always say, āWhere would I be without it?ā ā
Patrick was born in 1995, Jackson in 2000 and Mia in 2011. The age difference was an initial concern for Randi, who worried that Patrick and Mia āwouldnāt really know each otherā because of the gap, but the mother-of-three says all of her children have fostered āspecialā relationships with one another.
ā[Patrick] is always keeping tabs on what Miaās doing, both him and Brittany [Mahomes]. Itās a fun relationship for them to have, and being that I was so nervous they wouldnāt know each other, I can say now that they know each other.ā
Randi adds, āIāll send him clips of her basketball games, and heās like, āWell, tell me what she scored,ā and then heāll ask all about it, and I do that with Jackson and him both.ā
And despite years of watching Patrick on the field, Randi says she still gets nervous seeing him play.
āI still get nervous. The gray hair, I tell him, Iām like, āYouāre giving me gray hair, and itās not because Iām a grandma now, itās because Iām having to watch you hit by 300 pound guys.ā Usually when Iām screaming at the game, itās like, āDonāt hit him. Donāt hit him.ā ā
On Sunday, Randi will be at Allegiant Stadium as Patrick and the Kansas City Chiefs look to defend their title as the NFL champions against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Sheās, of course, rooting for the Chiefs, but Randi will come away from the game happy regardless of the outcome.
āI get to see all my children together, and I get to see my grandkids, so Iām like, āIām winning no matter what.ā ā
