    Randi Mahomes just wants to be normal.

    Mother of Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and social media influencer Jackson Mahomes expressed that she is envious of people living regular lives during an appearance on “The Mom Game” podcast in June.

    “I look at some of my friends on social media and I’m jealous that they have this normal [life],” she said. “Their kids are the same age as Patrick (28) and Jackson (24), and they have this normal situation and we don’t. It’s super difficult.”

    Randi, 48, shares her sons with her ex-husband and former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes Sr., and she is also mother to Mia Randall, 12, from a different relationship.

    The mother of three has worked as an event planner for 20 years, and while she is still passionate about her career, her sons’ lifestyles have undoubtedly gotten in the way.

    “We just want to be normal and go and have dinner. We don’t do that. At my work, it’s really hard because 90 percent of my phone calls aren’t about work. I still go to work and want to live normal,” Randi said on the podcast.

    While Patrick has blossomed in the NFL as a three-time Super Bowl MVP and become rich with a $450 million contract , the stardom has taken a toll on his mom.

    “As much as I say we’re blessed and Patrick’s living his dream, it has been the hardest seven years of my adult life,” Randi explained. “It’s been really hard to juggle…being proud of him and the hate that you get and the kids get. I can’t even explain how hard it’s been. I’ve cried a lot. I struggle with it.”

    The Chiefs’ superstar began dating his wife Brittany Matthews in 2012, and they tied the knot in March 2022 and have two children together: Sterling, 2, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, 1, making Randi a grandmother.

    Jackson, on the other hand, has “been through the ringer” after “the truth came out” — the influencer was arrested in May 2023 and charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and three counts of aggravated sexual battery — according to his mother.

    He had the felony charges dropped earlier this year and was eventually sentenced to six months probation after he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge .

    He was also previously linked to several other controversies during which he attracted negative attention to his family.

    In September 2021, there was a video of him pouring water on Ravens fans for taunting him, followed by a TikTok video of him dancing on a logo where the then-Washington Football Team honored the late Sean Taylor just a month later.

    “Patrick’s living out his dream and I want all of my kids to do that, but the [attention] from different directions has been super overwhelming,” Randi added.

    Aside from the negativity, the mother has been able to find perks in her sons’ widespread attention.

    “They don’t even need me for money to take them to dinner,” she said. “They take me to dinner.”
