“Sterling is a big baker as well so they make some stuff together sometimes, and I’m not gonna say I don’t eat them,” Mahomes, 29, said on the Tuesday, October 15, episode of “The Drive” podcast, in which he answered non-football questions. (In addition to Sterling, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and wife Brittany Mahomes share son Bronze, 1, and are currently expecting their third baby.)
The three-time Super Bowl champion went on to reveal that while Swift, 34 – whose specialties including homemade cinnamon rolls for boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – hasn’t “specifically” baked for him, he has been lucky enough to snag some of the goodies before they disappear in his household.
“It is as good as everybody has talked about,” Mahomes said, noting that some of the treats he’s sampled include muffins and doughnuts. “She is great when it comes to baking.”
Swift famously made the Chiefs offensive linemen her homemade Pop-Tarts during the 2023-2024 season amid her budding romance with Kelce, 35, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
“Kind of behind-the-scenes … she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts,” he said at the time. “So it was over. She knew right where to go.”
Reid, 66, isn’t the only Chiefs member to miss out on Swift’s Pop-Tarts. While answering another question on “The Drive” about what his favorite Pop-Tart flavor is, Patrick admitted he’s never had one in his life – both store-bought and homemade.
“I’ve never eaten a Pop-Tart in my entire life,” he explained. “I think I’m going to have to change that at some point because everybody loves them.”
While Patrick praised the 14-time Grammy Award winner for her skills in the kitchen, he is far from the first celeb to applaud Swift’s cooking.
Kelce, whom she began dating in the summer of 2023, also praised his girlfriend for her culinary skills.
“I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her,” he told reporters in June. “Taylor makes a great Pop-Tart and cinnamon roll.”
