During a recent episode of her podcast The morning After, Kelly Stafford — wife of NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford — opened up to her audience about one key reason she works out: to help keep the physical connection in her marriage strong.

Kelly playfully — yet somewhat sincerely — revealed that she prioritizes “booty workouts” not just for fitness or appearance, but to keep things fun in the bedroom and ensure Matthew stays attracted to her after more than ten years of marriage. She shared this with a lighthearted laugh.

“I focus on my butt because I know he’s still into it. I don’t want him thinking, ‘Wow, she used to have a nice backside.’ No way,” Kelly said.

She also reflected on what it’s really like being married for over a decade, explaining that keeping the physical and intimate side of a relationship alive takes conscious effort — particularly after having four kids, experiencing body changes, handling stress, and navigating the hectic life that comes with being part of the NFL world.

Kelly highlighted that feeling good about her body boosts her emotional well-being, and that self-confidence positively impacts her relationship. She explained that her workouts aren’t about achieving perfection, but rather about caring for herself so she can be fully present — as a mother, a wife, and an individual.

The candid moment quickly went viral, resonating with fans for its blend of humor, authenticity, and relatability. Many applauded her for being so open about marriage and body image, particularly while living in the spotlight of the NFL world.
