Matthew Stafford’s Wife Apologizes for Saying She Dated His Backup QB

Kelly was a UGA cheerleader when she started dating Matthew, who made his debut with the Georgia Bulldogs during his freshman year. The two tied the knot in 2015, going on to welcome twin girls Chandler and Sawyer, 6, as well as daughters Hunter, 5, and Tyler, 3.

However, according to Kelly, their romance almost didn’t make it to the end zone as Matthew was initially interested in “casual dating” and she was not.

“Long story short, wasn’t that cute of a relationship at first,” she explained on the June 11 episode of the Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe podcast. “I hated him. I loved him.”
