Pat Mahomes Sr. reached a big milestone.
The father of Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated six months of sobriety Tuesday after being arrested in February on a DWI charge just eight days before the Super Bowl.
“I would like to Thank my God wife family and friends for 6 months on the sunny side of the road,” he wrote on Instagram. “I know it’s been hard getting to know sober Pat but it’s well worth it.”

The 53-year-old also included a message for his wife — the QB’s stepmom — writing, “Trisha Mahomes thanks for all you do.”
The photo, which appears to have been taken at the Palms Celebrity golf tournament, featured controversial former MLB player and manager Pete Rose.
Despite an intriguing editing choice in which Mahomes Sr. cropped his head out, the comment section was flooded with support.
The former MLB pitcher was arrested for drunk driving on Feb. 3 in Tyler, Texas, and it wasn’t his first offense, according to jail records.
The charge is listed as “Driving While Intoxicated 3rd or More.”
Mahomes Sr. was released from jail on a $10,000 bond a day after the arrest.
He was in attendance at Allegiant Stadium to watch his son lead the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl ring, as they defeated the 49ers, 25-22, in overtime.
“It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,” Patrick, who earned his third MVP award, told reporters on Super Bowl opening night. “That’s all I have to say.”
Mahomes Sr. was previously charged with DWI offenses in 2018 and 2019, where he pled guilty and served 40 days over weekends.
In 2016, he was arrested for public intoxication at Amon G. Carter Stadium during a football game between TCU and Texas Tech, his son’s alma mater, reported by USA Today.
Records also show two separate DWI charges in 2012.
The divorced father-of-four was busted in June for driving on a suspended license.
With his trial set to begin on Aug. 10 in Smith County, Texas, Mahomes Sr. faces a potential 10-year sentence and $10,000 fine.
Mahomes Sr. played 11 seasons in MLB, pitching for the Mets in the 1999 and 2000.
