Kelly Stafford is the talk of the town! In June 2024, she dropped some interesting quips on the initial days of her love story with hubby Matthew Stafford. According to the NFL WAG, she lured Matthew into admitting his feelings for her by dating his college teammate, Joe Cox. Kelly’s candid confession turned into a viral sensation and brought the Cox family into the limelight all of a sudden. Though initially, Mrs. Stafford apologized for her words, she is now going on offense!

On June 27, Kelly took to her Instagram account to praise Matthew Stafford. The 34-year-old posted a cozy photo of them attending a Chris Stapleton concert with a lovely caption! However, considering the current circumstances, Kelly’s message also had an indirect dig at her critics. In her post, Kelly Stafford wrote, “Realizing how many insecure men there are out there.. so grateful I married the complete opposite. Loved last night.” It is quite evident from her words that Kelly wasn’t happy with the online backlash!

Kelly isn’t the only vocal celebrity NFL wife – that crown belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany. Brittany Mahomes, unafraid to speak her mind, took on Joe Rogan for the latter’s comments on her Super Bowl celebrations! During his world-famous ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast in 2023, Rogan questioned whether Brittany would celebrate her heart out if she were divorced from the Chiefs’ QB.

In February 2023, Brittany Mahomes put out a very strong message. “Something about grown men talking sh*t about someone’s wife is real weird…” said the former soccer star on her X account. Though Brittany did not address Joe Rogan directly, netizens connected the dots. While Kelly Stafford is walking the same path as Brittany, she remains apologetic to Joe Cox for her words.

Kelly Stafford issued a heartfelt apology to Joe Cox’s family

Kelly Stafford realized that her words seemingly impacted Joe Cox negatively. Cox is now a married man with three adorable children and leading a life outside the limelight. Hence, Matthew Stafford’s wife tried to make amends with an apology for dragging Joe into a matter he had “ZERO involvement in.”

In a June 25 Instagram story, Kelly posted a picture of Matthew’s former backup QB with his family and wrote, “To this beautiful fam.. I am sorry for the media storm that happened last week that made its way into your lives.” ‘The Morning After’ host further clarified that she and Matthew always looked up to Cox and his wife as an example of an ideal couple.

With a strong stance against the online trolls, Kelly Strafford has seemingly had enough. However, Kelly is not letting the criticism affect her relationship with Matthew. Since their college days, the couple have been inseparable and left no chance to admit their love for each other in public.
