randi mahomes used a Sunday Instagram post to honor Brittany Mahomes and her late mother, Debbie Martin, on Mother’s Day. The tribute tied the Mahomes family’s present to its recent loss, with Martin having died in 2023 and Brittany raising three children with Patrick Mahomes.
“Happy Mothers Day to these two amazing!” Mahomes wrote, adding that she was missing her mother “a little extra today.” She said, “Her love shaped the way I loved my own family, and I’m forever grateful for everything she poured into me.”
Debbie Martin's No. 15 jersey
Mahomes paired the caption with a photo of Martin wearing her grandson’s No. 15 Chiefs jersey. That detail links the tribute to the family’s football life without turning the post into a game-day moment; it is a private family image built around a public team number.
Martin’s death in 2023 gives the post its weight. Mahomes did not frame the day only as remembrance, though. She also directed a separate note to Brittany, writing, “Brittany, you are such an incredible mother” and, “The love, patience, and joy you pour into your babies every day is so special to watch, and I’m so proud of you. Being a mom and now a Grandi is the greatest blessing.”
Brittany and the Mahomes family
“Hug your mamas a little tighter today,” Mahomes wrote near the end of the post, a line that turned the tribute into advice as well as sentiment. It is the kind of line that lands because it names the day, the family relationship, and the loss in one place.
Randi, Brittany, Patrick Mahomes Sr. and Jackson Mahomes are regulars at Chiefs games during the season, so the family already lives in public view around Patrick Mahomes’ football career. Mahomes also addressed that career directly in April 2025, saying during an Instagram Q&A that Patrick once wanted to quit football in high school and that she urged him to stay with it. That earlier admission makes this Mother’s Day post read as more than a holiday greeting: it is another reminder of how much of the family’s story has been carried by the women in it.
April 2025 Q&A
“There were times when he would get a little down, even a moment in high school when he wanted to quit football. Yes, he did,” she said then. “And I encouraged him that sitting out a season of sports and watching the games, it was not going to be fun for him. And so, he stuck to it, fortunately.”
The post leaves Mahomes exactly where she placed herself: between memory and present-day family life. The clearest reading is simple — this was not a generic holiday caption, but a public account of grief, gratitude and the role her family’s women have played in keeping the story intact.
