Randi Mahomes has never been the loudest voice in the room. But when she speaks-especially about faith-people listen. On Sunday, she took to Instagram from Rose Heights Church in Tyler, Texas, where she appeared onstage and shared a simple message: “Jesus loves you.” No hashtags. No commentary. Just three words that carried the weight of everything she’s been through this year.
Her post came during a weekend that felt split in tone for the Mahomes family. While Randi was reflecting and recharging in church, others were celebrating a special day for Patrick Mahomes’ younger half-sister, Zoe Claire, who turned 11 on April 13.
Zoe’s birthday wasn’t exactly low-key. Her parents, Pat Mahomes Sr. and Anika Cooper, went all out online-sharing tribute videos, photos of Zoe in a Chiefs jersey next to Lionel Messi, and a sweet birthday montage set to “You Are My Sunshine.” But what caught fans’ attention wasn’t what was posted-it was what wasn’t.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, who often post about their children, Sterling and Bronze, didn’t share a single birthday message for Zoe. Not even a quick story. On the same day, Brittany posted a video of their kids enjoying shaved ice, with no mention of Zoe or the birthday.
A family celebration-But not everyone showed up online
This isn’t the first time Zoe’s been missing from her brother’s social media. Her 10th birthday also passed without a post, and she hasn’t been publicly acknowledged in other family moments either-despite being visibly supportive of Patrick throughout his NFL career.
That silence has sparked conversation across fan forums and comment sections. While it’s possible Patrick and Brittany celebrated privately, the lack of a public nod-especially from such media-savvy parents-felt like a statement to many.
In contrast, Randi’s faith-centered post struck a different chord. Since losing her father, Randy Martin, earlier this year, she’s leaned heavily into her spiritual side. Her feed has featured more prayer, more church moments, and more personal reflection than ever before-adding a deeper layer to the woman many only know as “Patrick’s mom.”
As People reported earlier this year, Randi’s grief journey has been one of quiet strength. Her Sunday post may have looked simple, but to her followers, it felt like a moment of peace in the middle of life’s louder headlines.
