Just 24 games into his NFL career, Matthew Wright played for 4 teams since 2019. After connecting as a kicker on 40 of his 47 field goal attempts, Wright finally got another home in the San Francisco 49ers for a year.
Now, after just one game and a halt since last year, he will try to prove his worth in the league. And during his topsy-turvy time, he has one biggest supporter standing beside him–his wife–Kelsey Wright.

“I’ll kick her through the uprights.” In July 2018, Matthew Wright used this metaphor about his then-girlfriend, Kelsey Elizabeth Dean, to express how he had successfully secured her in his life forever. Yes! This itself tells how close Matthew is to his now-wife. Kelsey Wright is an active social media user, who generally posts important updates of her life on X. For instance, once in April 2018, she made sure to update her fans about her last college exam, saying, “Took my last college exam ever today (with a cool & carefree emoji).”
However, not much is known about her, even where she went for her academics. But one thing everyone knows about her and even her social media profiles scream about it is her being the biggest supporter of her husband, Matthew Wright. This is evident from her Instagram account, where she mentioned herself as the wife of the athlete in her bio, as well as from her X account, where she keeps on posting Matthew’s plays and important updates about him. Besides that, she also supports Wright in doing Christmas charity work, just like they did together in 2018.
