As the Los Angeles Rams get ready for their Monday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on December 29, attention isn’t only on the field. Many fans are also curious about the personal life of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford—especially his wife, Kelly Stafford, and their family.

A College Romance at Georgia
Kelly and Matthew’s story began at the University of Georgia. While Matthew led the Bulldogs as their starting quarterback, Kelly was part of the school’s cheerleading squad.

The two met in 2006 and began dating during their college years. Their connection has lasted ever since, and their love for Georgia football remains strong. Anyone who follows Kelly on social media can see that she and their daughters proudly support the Bulldogs.

Parents to Four Daughters
Together, Kelly and Matthew are raising four daughters. They are parents to twin girls, Chandler and Sawyer, who are 8 years old, along with Hunter, 7, and Tyler, 5. Family life plays a central role for the Staffords, even amid the demands of professional football.

Kelly Stafford’s Health Journey
In 2019, Kelly faced a serious health challenge after doctors discovered a tumor located near her cranial nerves. The condition was causing severe dizziness and balance issues. She ultimately underwent a lengthy 12-hour surgery. Fortunately, the tumor was benign, and the procedure was successful.

Kelly later shared her experience in a personal essay, explaining that her symptoms first appeared unexpectedly after a massage, when she suddenly felt disoriented and light-headed. Further testing revealed that she had an acoustic neuroma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma.

She wrote candidly about her fears, explaining that her greatest concern was not being present to raise her daughters. Determined to stay positive, she focused on recovery rather than worst-case scenarios.
Kelly also credited Matthew for being a constant source of support throughout the ordeal, noting that he remained by her side every step of the way.

Today, Kelly has made a full recovery, and the Stafford family continues to move forward together—on and off the football field.
