She even said she’s “jealous” of her friends and their kids who get to lead more “normal” lives.
“We just want to be normal and go and have dinner and we don’t do that,” she explained. “My daughter [Mia] and I, living in our town, we rarely go.”
Randi shares Patrick, 28, and her 24-year-old son, Jackson, with her ex-husband, Pat Mahomes. She resides in Texas with her 12-year-old daughter, Mia, from a previous relationship.

Randi, 48, also explained how her professional life as an event planner is affected by her son’s fame. She said she has so many people trying to get in contact with their family by finding her phone number and email.
Although Patrick’s fame has been a difficult adjustment for the family ever since he joined the NFL in 2017, Randi said she tries not to let her stress affect her kids.
“[Patrick is] working his tail off every day … doing what he needs to do and has his family and kids,” she stated.

He was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual battery at the time for an incident involving the owner of the Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Kansas.
“It’s one day at a time,” the mother of three explained about her situation. “I’ve cried myself to sleep reading some of the things that I know that my kids see. .. I’ve kept my close friends close … it’s really been hard.”
