In the world of roaring stadiums and flashing lights, Patrick Mahomes may be the NFL’s golden boy — but to one young girl in Texas, he’s simply “Bubba,” her big brother, her mentor, and her hero.
That girl is Mia Randall, Patrick’s 14-year-old half-sister — the quiet heart of the Mahomes family, whose love for her brother runs deeper than any championship ring. Though they live miles apart and rarely get to see each other, their bond has become one of the most touching family stories in sports. ❤️
🏈 A Long-Distance Love That Never Fades
Mia, born to Patrick’s mom Randi Mahomes from a later relationship, grew up watching her big brother go from Texas Tech sensation to three-time Super Bowl champion. But fame and distance have never dulled the warmth between them.
“They don’t live together, and Patrick’s schedule is crazy,” a close family source shared. “But no matter where he plays, Mia always shows up — even if it means sitting through the cold with her mom just to see him on the field.”
At every major game — from Arrowhead Stadium to the Super Bowl — Mia can be seen cheering, her face painted red and gold, clutching handmade signs that say “Go Bubba!”
💖 “Someone to Protect.”
Patrick may lead the Chiefs, but when it comes to Mia, he’s just a protective big brother who melts around his kid sister.
“He sees her as someone to protect — a little light he wants to keep safe from all the noise,” says the source. “And she sees him as her North Star.”
The pair often FaceTime before big games. Patrick gives her pep talks; she gives him her signature send-off: “Go be amazing, Bubba.” It’s their tradition.
🏅 A Young Athlete Following Her Brother’s Footsteps
Mia isn’t just Patrick’s biggest fan — she’s an athlete in her own right.
From basketball to volleyball, tennis, and softball, the 14-year-old powerhouse is already collecting awards and attention for her natural talent.
“She’s got that Mahomes spark,” Randi says proudly. “She works hard, dreams big, and never quits — just like her brother.”
Patrick makes sure to nurture that drive. He sends her custom gear, pays for off-season training camps, and even FaceTimes from away games to give her pointers:
“Keep your head up, Mia — eyes forward like you’re reading the field.”
It’s coaching with love, the Mahomes way.
💫 The Sweetest Nickname — and the Story Behind It
Mia proudly calls Patrick “the star” of the family — and the story behind that nickname is enough to bring anyone to tears.
Back in 2017, the night Patrick was drafted to the Chiefs, 6-year-old Mia was stargazing with her mom on their Texas porch. She looked up and said,
“That’s Pat up there — our family’s star, shining so everyone can find their way.”
Patrick heard the story later and called her immediately, telling her,
“Then you’re my constellation, Mia — the light that reminds me where home is.”
That memory, caught on video, recently resurfaced online — and fans couldn’t stop crying. “This is the most beautiful sibling bond ever,” one commenter wrote. “You can tell their love is real, not for cameras.”
👧 “At School, Everyone Wants to Be Mia”
At her middle school in Tyler, Mia’s friends say she’s humble, grounded, and proudly loyal to her brother.
“She’ll talk about how Patrick tells her to visualize success or stay calm under pressure, and everyone just listens,” a classmate shared. “It’s not bragging — it’s inspiring.”
When Patrick surprises her with game tickets or video calls during class breaks, her friends “lose their minds.” One of them said in a viral TikTok,
“Imagine your brother is Patrick Mahomes, and he calls you just to say he’s proud of you. That’s Mia’s life.”
❤️ More Than a Brother — Her Hero
For Patrick, Mia represents everything pure about success: family, faith, and love that stays strong no matter how far apart they are.
“Distance tests, but family shows up,” he once said after a Chiefs win. “That’s how we do it.”
As Mia continues to chase her dream of becoming a professional athlete, Patrick stands right behind her — the same way she’s stood behind him from day one.
Because in the Mahomes family, the spotlight doesn’t divide them — it brings them closer.
✨ “He’s the star,” Mia says softly, “but he tells me I’m his light.”
And just like that — one brother, one sister, one unbreakable bond — the Mahomes family reminds us what real love looks like, both on and off the field.
