Patrick Mahomes is kicking off the week with family time watching the eclipse.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Brittany Mahomes shared videos of her and her NFL star husband, both 28, showing their kids the sky during the total solar eclipse Monday, April 8. In one clip, Patrick can be seen holding his 3-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye, while they both cover their eyes with protective glasses.
“Sterling what do you see?” Brittany asks the toddler from behind the camera.
“I see the moon,” Sterling responds as the Kansans City Chiefs quarterback looks up in awe.

Brittany also showed what the couple’s 1 ½-year-old son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III was up to.
“Meanwhile Bronze…😂,” she wrote across an image of the baby sitting on the floor playing with a broom.
She also noted that the dogs were not watching the eclipse: “They won’t wear glasses!” Brittany jokes.

Later in the Instagram Stories, Patrick can be seen running to block the light from his daughter’s eyes when she tries staring at the sky without her glasses. Brittany and “the whole crew” who joined them are laughing in the background while Patrick chases after Sterling.
The parents of two were high school sweethearts and got married on March 12, 2022 with their then-1-year-old daughter. Two months later, they announced they were expecting their second child together.

Brittany and Patrick aren’t the only celebrities who wanted to witness the eclipse — which won’t happen again for another 40 years.
On Sunday, *NSYNC alum Lance Bass shared some of NASA’s safety tips ahead of his eclipse viewing.
“During these celestial events, the sun, Earth and moon are in sync — creating solar eclipses,” the singer, who serves on the board of the National Space Society, said in a video clip. “You can look directly at the sun during a total solar eclipse, but only when it’s completely covered by the moon for a brief period known as totality. This is a really special moment.”
Kelly Osbourne also took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of her and her partner Sid Wilson watching the event.
