It was part of a photo dump from a weekend that saw Jessica and the kids go to the Aviva Stadium to watch Ireland's 52-17 win over Fiji.
She said: "Love love Dublin this time of the year"
Fans zeroed in on the photo of Mack Hansen and her two sons Theo and Ralph.
One said: "Mac the child minder" while a second posted: "Macks face" and a third quipped: "Mack thinking Ralph just let a SBD ( silent but deadly )"
A fourth commented: "Mack and Ralph giving off the same energy is exactly what the world needs"
A fifth remarked: "Mack the mannie ???????? though leave Ralph with him too long he might develop a panache for tattoos"
The O'Mahony's was one of a number of families of players to have attended the game.
Amongst these was Joanna Cooper - wife of scrum-half Conor Murray - who brought her baby son along.
Ireland and Munster star Murray welcomed his first child with his model wife at the end of October.
She shared photos from the visit to Instagram, revealing that they had watched the game alongside Patti, wife of Jamison Gibson-Park, and their son Jai.

At the end of the game, they went down pitchside to get an up front view of the closing stages of Ireland's victory.
While predominantly a scrum-half, Murray was forced into a new position on Saturday afternoon.
Ireland were forced into a change when Jacob Stockdale – who was making his first Ireland appearance since August 2023 - limped off the pitch with a hamstring injury.
That meant the 35-year-old was forced to fill in for the Ulster man on the left-wing for the final thirty minutes.
Munster legend Simon Zebo took the opportunity to make fun of his former running mate, quipping: "New winger looks good!"
Zebo also had the time to meet up with former Racing 92 teammate Junior Tabuavou, who starred for the Fijians yesterday.
Zebo spent three years in France between 2018 and 2021, before rejoining Murray in Limerick for the final stretch of his career.
Zebo and Murray were a deadly partnership on Munster's wings throughout the 2010s, with the pair bagging the URC together in 2011.
Their chemistry continued internationally as the pair claimed the Six Nations with Ireland in 2015 before Zebo left for France in 2018.
Upon Zebo's return to the Emerald Isle, the pair won the URC again in 2023.
