If you watched the Super Bowl, you know there was no shortage of amazing moments on the field. The various plays and reversals of fortune captivated millions of fans all over the world. However, one football player ended up sharing something on social media that even non-sports lovers could really appreciate.
Kansas City Chiefs player Patrick Mahomes is normally a pretty private guy, but we recently got an adorable look into his family life thanks to his wife. On her Instagram story, she released a cute video of their daughter asking for some orange juice. It may not sound like much, but the clip is so darn cute that it’s almost impossible to stop watching it!
What’s the deal with this clip, and why did it win over fans regardless of whether they like the Chiefs or not? Keep reading to discover the answers!
Patrick Mahomes is a family guy
Before we dive into the video clip, the first thing you should know about Patrick Mahomes is that he’s a family guy. There are other football stars who love to “play the field” (so to speak) and date plenty of women, but that’s not the case with Mahomes. He’s very devoted to his wife Brittany, and when he’s not winning Bowl games, he’s at home bonding with his fam.
Together, he and Brittany have two children: a boy and a girl. The clip in question involves his daughter who is growing up at a fierce pace. Brittany documents many of her adorable moments, and on the eve of the Super Bowl, she decided to share one of those moments with the world.
Asking for orange juicy like a big girl
To understand what makes the video clip in question so cute, you need to understand a bit more about the circumstances leading to this adorable moment. As you might expect, Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany was at home with their daughter watching the Super Bowl her husband was playing in. She decided to make the event seem extra special by rocking a custom-made denim jacket that had her husband’s number (15) and their family name on the back.
To take things to the next level, she decided to serve orange juice in some champagne glasses for an extra touch of class. Her daughter Brittany fully got into the spirit of things, and the video shows the confident young girl walking up to her mother and asking for some juice. However, to most who have seen the clip, it’s the next part that is truly precious.
The clink heard around the world
Obviously, one of the reasons you would want to ever serve orange juice in a champagne glass is because you are prepared to offer the occasional toast. The Mahomes’ daughter Brittany may not know much about leading toast just yet, but the video clip proved that she’s definitely got a good handle on clinking the glasses together.
Clinking her glass against her mother’s glass is, by far, the sweetest part of the entire clip. To many of us watching, that clink quickly took on a kind of symbolic meaning showcasing how parents can connect to their children. Honestly, quite a few of the parents watching would love to have this kind of close relationship with their own children!
Fans can’t stop commenting on how adorable the clip is
It’s an open secret that the world of sports can often be very divisive. After all, we’re rooting for one team to defeat another, and for games as important as the Super Bowl, it’s easy for tempers to flare and for fans to clash with one another. However, the clip of Patrick Mahome’s daughter giving the world’s cutest clink as part of an orange juice toast is one of the few sights that instantly brought the sports world together.
Fans around the world left comments on the original Instagram post. Comments included praising how cute the daughter is and how beautiful the family bonding moment was. And, of course, there were more than a few fans who expressed gratitude for getting this rare look into the family life of a football legend.
A rare look into the life of a sports legend
As cute as the moment with his wife and daughter was, what arguably did the most to propel this clip to viral fame is getting an inside look into the life and home of Patrick Mahomes. Typically, celebrities only become more reclusive over time, and that leaves fans always wondering what their lives must be like behind closed doors.
Right now, Mahomes is more famous than he ever has been before. Despite that, he doesn’t seem eager to shut the world out and instead, he and his wife have embraced the opportunity to share an intimate moment from their lives with all of us. While it was great as fans to see the Chiefs narrowly win the Super Bowl, one look at this cute family was all we needed to know that Patrick Mahomes was already a winner.
