Brittany and Patrick Mahomes have established themselves as more than just sports royalty – they’re crafting a family empire with deep roots in soccer.
Their daughter Sterling “Skye” Mahomes – adorably nicknamed “Dirty Sterling” by fans online – may already be eyed as the next member of the Kansas City Current roster.
Brittany, a former professional soccer player and co-founder of the Kansas City Current, has often showcased her children cheering from sidelines in Current gear. Sterling, born in February 2021, and her younger siblings Bronze (born 2022) and Golden (January 2025), have become familiar faces at NWSL matches.
Patrick, who joined Brittany as a co-owner in 2023, frequently shares his pride in them, posting memorable moments of Sterling at games and workouts. Fans have embraced Sterling’s nickname, citing a viral clip of her diving joyfully for a salty snack and then scrambling to rinse her hands. The playful moniker stuck.
A future Current star – already in the gameday stands
Despite her tender age, Sterling has been front and center at games, dressed in bright teal teddy jackets, waving flags, and soaking up the stadium electricity in Kansas City. Brittany captioned an Instagram Story: “My snuggle girl cheering on her Current!”
Sterling’s early presence and natural energy haven’t gone unnoticed by fans or front-office observers. After all, her entire upbringing has revolved around professional sports.
Speculation is growing that “Dirty” Sterling – a more affectionate nickname than serious scouting tag – might eventually receive honorary playing time or formal involvement with the Current. Not as a promotional stunt, but as part of the Mahomes vision of building a generational soccer legacy in Kansas City.
The team already embodies their family passions; Sterling’s natural connection to the game only strengthens that narrative.
Why the Mahomes vision could include Sterling one day
It’s easy to see how the concept fits: Sterling has already lived and breathed the Current – from Brittany’s co-founding of the club in 2020 to Patrick joining as minority owner in 2023.
She wears the team’s crest before she wears a backpack. If the club’s ties to the Mahomes family deepen over time, Sterling’s friendly reputation among fans and local media might make her an ideal ambassador-or eventual youth academy standout under the family’s banner.
This wouldn’t be unprecedented. Sports dynasties often begin with parental passion and evolve into on-field family legacies. Brittany’s own high-level soccer past (University of Texas-Tyler and pro experience in Iceland), combined with Patrick’s community investments and wide influence, could lay the foundation for Sterling’s future role – whether symbolic or athletic.
As the Current grow into their stadium and cultural presence, Sterling might eventually don uniform #27 or whatever the league assigns to honorary youth participants.
Regardless, her place in team lore already feels cemented – before she ever takes a professional pitch.
