Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, made headlines last week when she revealed in a podcast appearance that she dated her husband’s backup when they were both students at the University of Georgia.
“It wasn’t that cute of a relationship at first,” Kelly said on the Off the Vine podcast, per the New York Post. “I hated him, I loved him. I dated the backup to piss him off, which worked — he was the bad boy too. Matthew’s so sweet and a Southern gentleman and all that stuff. And the backup was the complete opposite, and it upset him.”
