Mahomes and Matthews gifts for their daughter included a mini Lamborghini, he shared.

“It was awesome, and you can control it through a little remote control, too,” Mahomes said. “I think it’s a bad sign for me that she’s already getting a black Lamborghini. Brittany’s already putting it in her head.”

He added, “She was playing with literally everything. It was fun to see her do that.”
