In the pictures shared by Brittany, Mahomes can be seen standing with his family while holding a sparkler, with the knee brace clearly visible on his leg.

All smiles, the NFL star wore a gray hoodie and coordinating shorts, visibly sporting a knee brace and using two canes.

Brittany also posted photos featuring their children, Sterling and Bronze, as they posed for the camera during the celebration.
