Kelly Stafford is opening up about how online speculation surrounding her husband Matt Stafford’s NFL future has impacted their family.

“There was talk about whether Matthew would be traded this past year,” Kelly, 36, explained on the Sunday, August 31, episode of the Sunday Sports Club podcast. “Some rumors even claimed ‘his wife was the issue,’ and that played a part. … The kids at school teased them, saying, ‘You’re moving because your mom is too loud and causes problems.’”

Kelly and Matt, 37, share twins Sawyer and Chandler, both 8, daughter Hunter, 7, and daughter Tyler, 5. Leading into the 2025-2026 NFL campaign, whispers circulated that the Los Angeles Rams were preparing to deal the quarterback elsewhere.

“My daughters came home asking, ‘Mommy, are we moving because of you?’ I was like, ‘Because of me?’” Kelly recalled to host Allison Kuch. “I thought, ‘What the f***?’ It wasn’t anything to do with the Rams.”

Matt ultimately re-upped with the Rams, where he’s played quarterback since 2021. (He joined the franchise after being dealt from the Detroit Lions.)

“It’s fun overall, and every season I look forward to it,” Kelly said. “Each year I just pray for it to be a healthy one.”

At many Rams home contests, Kelly and the kids usually watch from a private box at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.

“I’ll admit, though, when we attend away games, we sit in the stands, and I kind of enjoy it,” she shared. “My daughters love being there. They get to spot their dad and wave, trying to catch his attention, like, ‘I just want to see him.’”

Kelly added, “They enjoy it, but it’s also stressful. It’s stressful. People say things—not directly to them—but sometimes about their dad within earshot.”

She also mentioned her plan to bring her daughters to “a ton” of NFL games this fall.

“I’m nervous about it,” she confessed. “It’s a heavy schedule, and nearly all are East Coast matchups. We’re traveling constantly.”

On top of the travel grind, Kelly is already preparing the family’s game-day looks.

“I always tell myself, ‘This could be his last year, so I’m going to enjoy it,’” she joked. “I’m not into high-end designer fits, but I do fun ‘Stafford’ gear mainly for the girls. I keep everything so they’ll pass it on someday. Even if their kids don’t want Grandpa’s denim jacket with his face painted on it, we paid a fortune for it, so it’s getting saved.”
