he Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, were preparing for several new family additions after their pet duck laid eggs.
Brittany wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Guys OMG, our pet duck is gonna have 9 babies can’t wait to see them.” She revealed in a subsequent Story, “One of the eggs was broke and I think she literally took it away… and then there were 8.”
However, none of the ducklings ultimately survived. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model shared an update on Wednesday, June 5.
After finding pieces of broken eggs scattered, Brittany initially guessed that maybe the duck’s eggs weren’t fertile. The 28-year-old, who shares daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son, Patrick “Bronze,” 17 months, with Mahomes, revealed what really happened.

“It was a raccoon at 4:30 a.m. this morning,” Brittany wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I’m so sad.”
The Mahomes’ pet duck remained unharmed. The couple also shared two dogs, Steel and Silver. “I mean, they’re basically our children,” Brittany told People. “I consider us having four kids.”
Brittany revealed Steel was a gift from the three-time Super Bowl MVP while she was in college. “Patrick bought him for me for a Valentine’s Day gift when I was a junior,” she said, revealing his name was inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“So, I actually used to be a Steelers fan and that’s how I got the name Steel, so that’s a great story,” she added. The couple adopted Silver in 2018.
