Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes—who shares two kids with pregnant wife Brittany Mahomes—told retired NFL star Tom Brady he keeps his dad bod “for a reason.”
Patrick Mahomes thinks his dad bod is a total win.
The three-time Super Bowl champion recently revealed the plus side of his physique with Tom Brady, explaining that his midsection is crucial to his success on the field.
“I use those hips and that oblique muscle to really rotate through there,” Patrick said in an NFL on Fox pre-game interview with Tom. “The people who see the dad bod, that’s for a reason—that’s the obliques. I’m getting them right.”
And Tom—who shares son Jack, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan, as well as son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex Gisele Bündchen—agreed with the 29-year-old.
“We’ve got to keep a little padding there,” Tom joked. “We’re getting hit all the time, they don’t understand that we can’t look like those receivers all the time.”
While the two football champs laughed about the focus on their figures, it wasn’t the first time the Kansas City Chief—who shares kids Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 22-months, with pregnant wife Brittany Mahomes—has discussed his dad bod, recently responding to critics of his appearance during the NFL’s off-season.
“It kind of surprised me,” Patrick told ESPN host Pat McAfee on May 22. “I kind of thought we had the whole dad bod thing out of the way last season…in the play-offs. But I guess people still haven’t realized that I don’t have abs.”
And while Patrick joked he would continue to work on getting a six-pack, he offered a simpler solution to avoid negative comments.

“Hopefully, one of these days, we can figure out how to get a looser T-shirt,” Patrick continued, referring to the outfit he sported in the viral video that prompted the haters. “The backpack’s just holding my shirt in.”
And when it comes to having a strong defensive line against the critics, Patrick’s wife Brittany has shared her own advice.
“Be confident in who you are and be unapologetically yourself,” she told Sports Illustrated in February. “People are going to love you or hate you, but finding your values and what makes you ‘you’ to be the best version of yourself is what really matters. Whether that’s health and wellness, being a great wife or mom, or career goals, being the best version of you is the most important thing you can be.”
