In June 2022, three months after they got married, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes held a gender reveal party for their second child that she highlighted on Twitter, complete with an excerpt of The Drifters' classic "This Magic Moment." Brittany captioned the post with a cryptic "Take a guess." Amidst a backdrop of balloons filling the household, the couple sprayed blue paint onto a gender reveal sign, signifying that the NFL great's wife was carrying what would be a boy. Patrick was so taken by the moment, he even dashed outside for a fully-clothed leap into the swimming pool, already populated by flocks of rubber ducks. For friends, family, and followers, the occasion was pure bliss. 

Unfortunately, others weren't thrilled over the news surrounding the impending arrival of the boy, whom they named Bronze once he was born. In response to the family video, one cynic tweeted, "Poor Patrick. She's really trapping him good." Another shared similar feelings about the celebrations, writing, "Congrats to Patrick and his annoying wife."

While extravagant, the party was rather innocuous — particularly in comparison to some other real-world examples beyond the NFL realm. That includes one that caused a wildfire in California in 2021, killing a firefighter and razing five homes. Earlier that year, another potential reveal killed an expectant father and injured his brother while they tested a powder-releasing explosive device that accidentally detonated in the family garage.
