Why Kelly Stafford, Wife of Matthew Stafford, Refuses to Raise “Spoiled Rotten Brats.”
Kelly Stafford is not solely focused on money. The host of the Morning After show considered her marriage to Matthew Stafford and mentioned that she had profited from the Los Angeles Rams quarterback's success in a number of ways.
“I am very, very blessed to have an incredible husband who supports me nonstop,” Kelly stated in the Sunday Sports Club podcast's August 31 episode. “And very blessed which everyone will point out—financially, to be able to do certain things and afford certain luxuries in this life.”
"I still want to prove to myself that I do not need any of that," she added, even though the 36-year-old may have access to the nicer things.

Setting an example for her girls, Sawyer and Chandler, all eight, Hunter, seven, and Tyler, five, whom she shares with the NFL player, is equally essential to Kelly.
“I’m like, ‘You’re not going to grow up spoiled rotten brats. I won’t raise that. I can’t do that,’” she explained. “It’s hard because it could be easy to get them whatever they wanted.”
Kelly, who grew up modestly herself, added that despite their wealthy lifestyle, she and her husband, 37, were determined to keep their children grounded.
“My husband didn't grow up in this type of situation either, so raising kids with it is a learning process,” she stated. “And we learn as we go.”
Kelly has not held back when talking about her parenting style. She said back in June that occasionally using cannabis candies improved her ability to manage her home.
“Sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent,” In June, she stated this on her Morning After podcast. “They calm me down. It’s like the glass of wine.”
She also acknowledged that she occasionally felt "a little guilt" about the practice, but she emphasized that her children's needs were still being satisfied.
“As long as they’re in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there?” Kelly went on. “Just get them there.”
