Rams News: Matthew Stafford’s Wife Once Dated ‘Backup Boyfriend’ During Courtship

Two-time Pro Bowl Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been married to his wife Kelly since 2015, though he met her when she was a cheerleader while they were at Georgia together, at some point between 2006-08.

Now, Kelly has revealed on the podcast “Off the Vine with Kristin Bristowe” that she once dated Stafford’s own backup to inspire his commitment. Evidently, it worked.“At first, I hated him,” Kelly Stafford said. “I loved him. I dated the backup to piss him off, which worked. He was the bad boy too like Matthew’s so sweet and Southern gentleman and all that stuff and the backup was the complete opposite. It upset him which it worked thankfully.”
