Kelly Stafford knows that her husband, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, loves her “booty.”
Kelly, 35, admitted as much on the Thursday, May 22 episode of her “The Morning After” podcast when cohost Hank Winchester assured her it wasn’t her updo that first got her husband’s attention.
“This is what got Matthew, by the way,” she said of her hair, which she wore in a bun for the episode. “The messy bun on top of the head…This is the hairstyle that I supported all throughout high school and college and here I am trying to look younger.”
“That updo had nothing to do with capturing Matthew’s attention,” Winchester assured her. “Because when I asked Matthew a long, long time ago, what was it that first captured your attention about Kelly? Do you know what he said?”
“My ass,” Kelly replied knowingly, to which Winchester confirmed, “That booty.”
“I am very aware of that,” Kelly said. “That’s why I’m constantly in the gym right now to make sure the booty amongst everything else looks better. All I do is legs and ass. That’s it. That’s all I can do.”
Kelly and Matthew, 37, met while the pair were students at the University of Georgia and Matthew was the Bulldogs’ All-American quarterback. They married in 2015 and share four daughters: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4.
She’s been open about the challenges of marriage in the past, discussing what it’s like to suddenly not be putting herself first.
“Marriage is f***ing hard,” she said on the podcast in April. “Anyone who tells you differently is f***ing lying through their teeth.”
Kelly added she also had to adjust when Matthew entered the NFL, going No. 1 overall to the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft.
“I’m not saying he changed as a person,” she said. “He’s still the same guy that I’ve always known when it comes to his personality and the way he is with people and stuff like that. But, I will say, there was something that I had to adjust to, which was the more crazy, fun Matthew to the professional Matthew.”
She continued, “That was something I was thrown off by. All of a sudden, we couldn’t go dancing at the bars and we couldn’t do the things I used to love to do. That was the adapting period. I had to be like, ‘OK, this is a change and I’m going to support that change and be with you with it.’”
