In a world that often celebrates touchdowns and trophies, sometimes the sweetest victory is a simple call from home.
Bronzo Mahomes, the adorable 3-year-old son of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes, is stealing hearts across the globe after a touching moment between father and son went viral.
Earlier this week, Brittany posted a video on Instagram of little Bronzo — full name Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III — having a FaceTime conversation with his dad, who is currently away from home during NFL offseason training and coaching sessions. The short clip, just under 30 seconds, has already racked up millions of views — and for good reason.
In the video, Bronzo looks into the phone with wide, longing eyes and says in the sweetest voice:
“I miss you so much, Daddy. I gave you a lot of candy.”
The heartfelt sentence was met with a pause on the other end — and then came Patrick’s response, which had fans everywhere tearing up:
“Buddy… I miss you more. I’m saving that candy for when I see you, okay?”
The Video That Melted the Internet

The clip was originally posted to Brittany’s Instagram Stories with the caption:
“He misses his daddy so much. My heart 🥺”
Within hours, fans had screen-recorded and shared the video across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook. Hashtags like #BronzoMahomes, #DadGoals, and #FaceTimeFeels quickly began trending.
NFL fans weren’t the only ones emotional over the moment. Celebrities and fellow athletes commented on Brittany’s post, praising the Mahomes family for staying grounded despite their fame.
“This is the real championship right here,” one fan wrote.
“Mahomes wins MVP of fatherhood,” another commented.
A Family That’s Never Far Apart — Even When Miles Away
Patrick Mahomes has always been vocal about the importance of family, often sharing moments with Brittany, Bronzo, and their daughter Sterling Skye on social media. Even with the demanding schedule of an NFL superstar, he regularly makes time for his children — even if it means doing it digitally from training camp.
According to sources close to the Mahomes family, Patrick FaceTimes his kids every evening, reading stories to Sterling and talking to Bronzo about toys, football, and — as we now know — candy.
“Patrick is a hands-on dad in every way possible,” a family friend told People. “Even when he’s away for work, he makes sure the kids feel connected and loved.”
More Than Just a Quarterback
While Patrick Mahomes may be known for his Super Bowl wins, highlight-reel throws, and record-breaking stats, this viral moment is a powerful reminder that he’s just as much of a hero at home as he is on the field.
Brittany, a fitness entrepreneur and devoted mom, has made it a priority to keep fans updated with small glimpses into their family life. And with moments like this, it’s easy to see why so many people feel connected to the Mahomes family.
What’s Next for the Mahomes Family?
As Patrick continues his offseason coaching and preparation for the 2025 NFL season, Brittany has hinted that the family may join him on the road soon — especially now that Bronzo is old enough to express just how much he misses his dad.
In a follow-up post, Brittany wrote:
“Counting down the days till Daddy comes home. But until then — more candy and cuddles from Mom.”
A Touchdown of the Heart
In a world full of breaking news and sports headlines, sometimes it’s the quiet, everyday moments that matter most. And thanks to Brittany’s heartfelt post, the world was reminded that behind every superstar athlete is a family — and sometimes, a tiny voice with a big heart saying:
“I miss you so much.”
And in that moment, Patrick Mahomes didn’t need a stadium. He just needed a screen — and a promise to come home soon.
