The squeaky-clean Patrick Mahomes may have finally misstepped … ’cause according to Henry Winkler, the Chiefs superstar has inexplicably left him hanging on a sweet dinner invitation. The Fonz relayed the surprising news to TMZ Sports while signing some autographs in Los Angeles this week … saying despite initially agreeing to come to Winkler’s pad for a homemade meal, Mahomes has now ghosted.
“I think he fibbed to me,” a defeated Winkler told us.

If you’re unfamiliar … Winkler and Mahomes first made the plans back in 2022, after the guys developed a bromance following an in-person meeting on the sidelines of a Chiefs vs. Chargers game. Winkler said he was going to make the quarterback his famous chicken stuffed with ricotta — and it seemed it had all been set to go down in the offseason after Mahomes won Super Bowl LVII.
But apparently, Mahomes has reneged on the deal … and check out the clip, Winkler couldn’t appear to be more sad about it. Of course, Mahomes was busy this offseason with his newborn son … so maybe he’s waiting for 2024 to break bread with Winkler?? Keep the faith, Henry!!
