Matthew Stafford‘s Wife Apologizes to Backup QB’s Family Following Viral Dating Drama
Kelly Stafford has spoken out about the “media storm” that erupted after she revealed a past tactic to win her husband Matthew Stafford’s attention.
Kelly recently apologized to the family of Joe Cox, the man incorrectly assumed to be the backup QB she referenced in her viral story.
In a recent appearance on the ‘Off the Vine’ podcast, Kelly shared how she used to date one of Matthew Stafford’s backups while they were all at the University of Georgia, intending to make Matthew jealous.
Her plan ultimately succeeded, leading to their long-term relationship. However, the public focused more on identifying the unnamed backup quarterback than on her and Matthew’s beginnings. Many speculated that Joe Cox was the player in question.
As the story gained traction, Kelly broke her silence on Instagram, defending herself against criticism that she was “embarrassing” her husband.
She assured fans that Matthew was unbothered by the anecdote. Kelly also offered a heartfelt apology to Joe Cox and his family, clarifying that Joe, who was already in a committed relationship at the time, was not the backup she had mentioned.
Kelly acknowledged that Joe’s relationship inspired her aspirations for a relationship with Matthew. While Joe Cox and his wife have not publicly addressed the situation, they have remained low-key amidst the speculation.
