In a heartwarming Instagram story, Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a touching moment from her backyard. The unexpected guest? A mother duck nesting in their yard, and Brittany couldn’t contain her excitement. She posted a photo of the duck’s nest with eggs in her Instagram stories, captioning it, “The duck has eggs, I could cry. Can’t wait to see the babies”.

But this wasn’t just any ordinary duck sighting. Patrick Mahomes, the Super Bowl-winning QB, played the role of protector as he joined Brittany in investigating the duck’s presence yesterday. In an Instagram video, Brittany explained that she brought Patrick along because she feared being attacked by the duck if she got too close to the eggs. Patrick, with his characteristic humor, quipped that the duck was “right there.” Little did they know that this innocent encounter would lead to a near mishap.

As they ventured outside to check on the duck, Brittany captured the moment on her Instagram story. Patrick’s protective instincts kicked in as he kept a watchful eye on Brittany, ensuring she didn’t get too close. But when Patrick playfully pointed out the duck’s location, Brittany stumbled on the front steps, narrowly avoiding a potential ankle injury. “Almost broke my ankle,” she wrote, sharing the incident with her 1.9 million followers.
