Matthew Stafford and Kelly Stafford are savoring the summer vibes before the 2026 NFL season. They were recently spotted on a couples' vacation with sports broadcaster Erin Andrews, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, sportscaster Charissa Thompson, and Los Angeles entrepreneur Steven Cundari at Baker's Bay Ocean & Golf Club in the Bahamas. The Staffords even played Cupid for Thompson and Cundari. On the professional front, they have yet to win another Super Bowl, but perhaps this year will be different. The couple remains one of the most talked-about due to their adorable family of six.
Family Life and Love Story
The couple's four daughters energize the quarterback's confidence on the gridiron like nothing else. Matthew and Kelly met at the University of Georgia, where Matthew became the first true freshman quarterback starter for the Georgia Bulldogs since Quincy Carter in 1998. Kelly studied nursing and became a registered nurse in 2014. After dating for several years, they married in April 2015. They have four daughters: identical twins Sawyer and Chandler, born in March 2017; Hunter, born in August 2018; and Tyler, born in June 2020. Four years into their marriage, Kelly was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor called an acoustic neuroma. She underwent a 12-hour surgery to remove it. Before the surgery, Matthew told her, "If it's good news after the surgery, I'll be standing on your right side. If it's bad news, I'll be on your left." She doesn't remember much after waking up, but he was standing on her right side.
