Kelly Stafford previously said that when her romance with Rams’ player Matthew was on and off in college, but she revealed even more of the story that has gone viral this week.
Stafford revealed that she dated her now-husband Matthew Stafford’s backup quarterback during their time at the University of Georgia as a way to piss him off.
And though he and Kelly have a happy marriage now, she told podcast host Kristin Bristowe: “It wasn’t that cute of a relationship at first,” Kelly said. “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.”
The mother of four recalled how easy it was to make Matthew jealous because he “lived in the same dorm” as the other athlete.
“They lived in the same dorm room because athletes lived in the same dorm room. He would see my car there. At one point, he waited and followed me into the car. I was like, ‘This is amazing, it’s working.’ I was like, ‘Get out of my car.’ He was like, ‘He’s not right for you.’ I was like, ‘What? You can’t tell me that.’”
