From his days as a standout quarterback at the University of Georgia to hoisting a Super Bowl trophy with the Los Angeles Rams, Matthew Stafford’s journey has unfolded with his wife, Kelly Stafford, by his side. Together, the longtime couple are raising four daughters, but Kelly has been candid about the fact that their relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

During an April 2025 episode of her podcast The Morning After, Kelly spoke openly about the realities of marriage, stressing that it’s far from easy—especially when life continues to pile on new challenges. She explained that strong communication and the ability to grow alongside one another are essential, adding that disagreements are normal as long as they’re handled with respect and allow room for vulnerability without judgment.

Despite the obstacles they’ve faced, the Staffords have continued to move forward together, even while living much of their lives in the public eye due to Matthew’s NFL career. The couple recently marked a major milestone, celebrating 10 years of marriage after tying the knot on April 4, 2015.

Family plays a central role in Matthew’s football life. Kelly and their daughters are frequent fixtures at Rams games, cheering from the stands. After Los Angeles defeated the Carolina Panthers in the wild card round, Kelly shared photos of their children at the stadium, proudly celebrating the postseason victory.

Kelly has consistently shown her unwavering support for her husband. Ahead of the playoffs, she reflected on the season in a heartfelt social media post, noting that she attended every Rams game and brought their daughters to nearly all of them. She shared how meaningful it was to watch the season unfold in person and how the experience sparked a love for football in their girls—so much so that they now want to play quarterback in a girls flag football league.

Beyond football, Kelly emphasized the life lessons her daughters gained by watching their father persevere through setbacks. She explained that seeing Matthew face failure, accept it, and respond with determination helped them understand the value of resilience and hard work. She expressed gratitude for being able to share those moments with the man she loves while raising their children together.

As the Rams prepare for the NFC Championship in Seattle, Matthew will once again have his family firmly behind him. No matter the outcome, their support remains constant—and a potential Super Bowl appearance in nearby San Francisco would make the journey even more special for the Stafford family.
