Patrick Mahomes’ mom has said her father is ‘hanging on’ in a hospice to try and see his grandson in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
She revealed in January that her father’s health had taken a turn but she has still made it to New Orleans to support her son as he tries to secure the ‘three-peat’ with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Randi told People: ‘I know that it has meant a lot to him (that Patrick is in another Super Bowl). And I think he’s hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play.
‘I mean, he must be such a proud grandpa, so proud. And my mom was very proud and his other grandparents.’
Mahomes’ mom added that she has kept the Chiefs quarterback updated on his grandfather’s help but has tried not to ‘bug him’ ahead of what could be a career-defining game.
She has repeatedly spoken on social media about her father, Randy, and his ill health but has never revealed precisely what the issue is. Randy turned 78 on January 6.
For the Chiefs star Patrick, the news also comes weeks after the birth of his third child, a second daughter called Golden Raye.
