Three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes is a household name in the NFL, renowned for his exceptional talent and charismatic personality. However, behind the bright lights and cheering crowds, the Mahomes family has experienced a less glamorous side of his stardom.

"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 said. "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."

Randi's pain intensifies when she witnesses the hate directed at her innocent children. She recalled an incident where she was scrolling through social media after a Super Bowl victory and stumbled upon vile comments aimed at her and her grandchildren.

"I would look at their social media and I would be like this is a beautiful All-American family. Why would this mom or dad reach out to say this?" she said.

The constant attention and scrutiny have taken a toll on the family's ability to live a normal life. They can no longer enjoy simple outings without encountering fans or being subjected to criticism. Randi expressed her envy towards friends who experience a more conventional existence.

"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% of my phone calls aren't about work. I still go to work and want to live normal," she said.

As Patrick's career continues to flourish, Randi fears the impact it may have on his personal life. She takes solace in his comments suggesting that he would consider stepping away from the NFL if it becomes too detrimental to his family.

"I hear him, you know, make comments like, 'If the game takes away from my kids, I might not play as long as Tom Brady,' and I'm like, I'm so proud of him for that," Randi said.

Amidst the challenges, Randi maintains her unwavering support for her son and his aspirations. She recognizes the immense joy and inspiration he brings to countless fans. However, she pleads for empathy and compassion from those who engage in unwarranted and harmful criticism.

"I don't wish it on even my worst enemy. I have said I don't wish it on anyone because, as a mother, you don't want to read or see things about your children, especially when you know it's not true."
