Brittany Mahomes Talks About Baby Bronze’s “Scariest Experience” in the Hospital

The former soccer star, Brittany Mahomes, who has two children with husband Patrick Mahomes, shares her “scariest experience” with Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, after he had a serious allergic reaction to peanuts. It required an emergency trip to the hospital with their now-13-month-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon in August 2023.

“Like all moms, my kids’ safety and happiness is my number one priority,” the 28-year-old, who also has a 2-year-old son named Sterling Skye with the NFL player, wrote on Instagram on January 24. “I have received an outpouring of sympathy from other moms and parents after sharing my story with Bronze’s severe peanut allergy. “It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.”

That’s why the Texas native collaborated with Auvi-Q, which provides emergency therapy for severe allergic responses in newborns and toddlers.

“I have an infant and a toddler, both who have severe food allergies, and I think it is very important to raise awareness of what a severe reaction may look like if it was to happen to a child,” Brittany can be heard saying in the film. “Based on my experience, I can tell you that a severe reaction may not look how you think it should look.”

Taylor Swift’s game-day companion went on to explain why it’s crucial to have something like Auvi-Q on her at all times, stating, “The safety of your child is of the utmost important thing when you’re out and about.”

Brittany initially described her story taking Bronze to the hospital this summer.

“We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday after finding out this guy is highly allergic to peanuts,” she posted on Instagram Stories on August 17. “The scariest 30 minutes of my life.”

Brittany has strengthened her defenses against future food shocks as a result of her painful experience.

“I’ve learned that the best way to avoid problems while traveling is to be prepared and plan ahead,” Brittany told EatingWell in an interview published in December 2023. “We take the initiative to bring all of our own snacks, which can take a little more effort.”

To me, eating well means enjoying nourishing foods with those I love,” she went on to say. “And for our family that also means ensuring it’s healthy and safe for our kids.”
