Kelly Stafford revealed some “exciting news” about the schooling plans for her four girls – and why she feels strongly about faith being part of it.
The 36-year-old noted that “the Christian school” in Los Angeles she has been considering for twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 7, and Tyler, 5, is expanding from preschool through 12th grade.
“We plan on sending, hopefully, all of our kids there starting next year,” Stafford said on her podcast, The Morning After, on Thursday, September 26.
Stafford, who is married to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, expressed her excitement about the announcement.
“I’m thrilled for a number of reasons,” Kelly explained. “Mainly because living in California, honestly living anywhere today, the world feels unstable and sometimes like it could collapse in front of us.”
She went on, “Giving them a foundation and the principles of Christianity daily, making sure they always have something solid to return to if life gets tough, makes me so happy.”
Talking with her sister Jenny on the podcast, Kelly said her daughters going to a Christian school will reflect “the way we were raised.”
“I just think the world feels tense right now, and I want them to carry the basic morals Christianity offers, so I’m very grateful,” Kelly continued.

Still, the difficult school application process left Kelly feeling drained.
“This is how you realize you’ve had too many kids,” she joked. “Four separate applications. You have to repeat all the background details. And it won’t save per child. So each time I’m retyping where I went to college, what degree I earned.”
A frustrated Kelly admitted she even made up some of her academic background because “I can’t recall what my first major was in.”
She also explained that every application required nine “essays” about each child with a limit of 4,000 characters per essay.
After finishing essays for two daughters on her own, Kelly turned to a little assistance.
“While sitting at volleyball practice, I thought, ‘Why the hell am I even writing these?’” Kelly recalled. “ChatGPT should be the one doing this. Hunter and Tyler’s essays turned out amazing. Chandler and Sawyer’s, not so much.”
Kelly added, “The admissions team will read them and probably think, ‘Well, this is unusual.’”
