The playbook for love! The romance between Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly Stafford began in college – and four children later, it is still going strong. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback fell in love with his wife in the mid-2000s while playing football for the University of Georgia. At the time, Kelly was a cheerleader for the college. Almost […]

“I will say, now that our house is finished, we might be entertaining a little more, but I love that I said I was old as hell,” Kelly joked. “Guys, I currently have a heating pad around my neck and shoulders.”

Harper also pointed out that Kelly looks 21, which she called “annoying.”

“It is [just] “The lighting, guys,” Kelly noted, adding that she was “jealous” of how Detroit captured Harper and Goff.

Although they miss Michigan, Kelly and 36-year-old Matthew have found their rhythm in the City of Angels.

“There is a lot to do in Los Angeles. People are supporting [us]”, said Kelly. “We will stay here if [Matthew retires]we love it here [and] Our kids love it here. We are immersed in the community around us, which is great. But this game [on Sunday, September 8] will be electrifying because of the people of this city and this state. They're coming.”

The Rams and Lions will face each other in their NFL season opener on Sunday night in Detroit.

“[The fans] “They don't come to the sport, but they come,” Kelly said. “That's what Matthew always said: They put their heads in the sand and get to work. That's Detroit. They have that determination. I'm so excited for this game.”

Kelly will watch the game on television with her and Matthew's four daughters and will not travel to Ford Field to see him play in person.

“I'll be cheering loudly from my couch with my girls,” Kelly added before talking about her newfound Rams fandom. “I can't believe it's been four years already, it feels like yesterday. When we got here, Tyler was a baby… and she's a grown woman, or at least that's what she thinks. It's crazy.”
