Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ mother asks for ‘Prayers’ as his family deals with a tragic event ahead of Week 2’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

While Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes prepares to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, his family is dealing with tragic development.

Three days before the Chiefs host the Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium, Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, revealed some heartbreaking news on social media regarding the quarterback’s grandfather on Friday, September 13.

She posted on X, “Prayer warriors please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well.. his name is Randy.” Randi, who’s also mother to Jackson Mahomes, 23, and Mia Randall, 13, and grandmother to Mahomes’ two children with wife, Brittany Mahomes, is incredibly close with her father.

The bio section of her website states, “Randi believes that her humble, tight-knit town and her parents made her the woman she is today.” Last August, Randi, who grew up in Troupe, a small town in East Texas, posted a photo with her father on Instagram and joked, “Almost got daddy to smile!!! #family #myrock #mygirl #daddy #blessed.”

The three-time Super Bowl MVP’s mother had a mini-family reunion with her father in March. Randi, along with all three of her children, and two grandchildren Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 1, posed with her dad. Randi captioned the post, “Priceless time with my family God is so Great.”

After seeing Randi’s tweet on Friday, Chiefs Kingdom immediately flooded the post’s comments with prayers. One fan posted, “Praying for your family!” Another person wrote, “God protect and comfort this family. Bless Randy and heal him.”

Randi’s mother, Debbie Bates Martin. died in April 2023. She was 72. Before the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl, she paid tribute to her late mother on Instagram. She wrote, “Momma i know you are cheering today from Heaven. I miss you every single day.. i can hear you yelling ‘Go Patrick.’”

She also shared a memory of her mother right before Christmas last year. Randi posted a photo with her mom and Mia and wrote, “Last year around time I was with my momma in KC, she loved it there and was the proudest she was determined to get the Marriott tree Chiefs colors memories are what i treasure.”

Randi commemorated the one-year anniversary of her mother’s death on Instagram in April. She wrote, “It’s been a year since you left us… but I know you’re up there smiling down on us. Missing my beautiful Momma a little extra today. Her love and light continue to guide me, and I am blessed to have the memories we share. Forever cherished, forever loved ♥️.”
