Kelly Stafford, the wife of NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford, has opened up about the one piece of advice she wishes she had received when she entered the NFL world. In a recent interview, Kelly revealed that she lost herself in the midst of opinions and expectations, and wishes someone had told her to stay true to herself.
Kelly, who hosts the podcast “Morning After,” shared that she struggled to maintain her identity amidst the pressures of being an NFL wife. “I would say, ‘Don’t try to become the person that everybody else wants you to become,'” she advised. “Because that’s what I did, and I lost who I was.”
The former Georgia cheerleader emphasized the importance of staying grounded and not letting external opinions define one’s sense of self. “You can’t cancel out all the noise, but try to listen to yourself before you listen to anybody else,” she said.

The pair began dating in college, got married in 2015, and share four daughters
Kelly, who has been married to Matthew since 2015, shared that she has learned from her experiences and is now focused on spreading her message of self-empowerment to other women. She is taking her podcast on tour this fall, starting in Detroit on September 7.
Despite her own struggles, Kelly acknowledged that she is not in a position to offer advice to others, including Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes. “I’ve messed up so many times,” she said humbly.
Kelly and Matthew, who have four daughters together, have been through their fair share of ups and downs. In June, Kelly made headlines when she revealed that she had dated Matthew’s backup quarterback in college to make him jealous. Prior to that, she faced criticism for saying that Matthew struggled to connect with his younger teammates.
Despite the challenges, Kelly remains committed to using her platform to promote positive change and inspire others to stay true to themselves.
