Kelly Stafford is acknowledging a fumble in the retelling of her love story with Matthew Stafford . The wife of the Los Angeles Rams player issued an apology to Joe Cox —who was Matthew's backup quarterback during their time at University of Georgia—for publicly sharing that she dated him during college to make her now-husband jealous . Sharing a photo of Joe with his now-wife Erica and their three kids, Kelly wrote on Instagram Stories June 25, "I am so sorry for the media storm that happened last week that made its way into your lives.
" "You have ZERO involvement in what I spoke about," the podcaster continued, adding that she actually "looked up" to Joe and Erica while studying at University of Georgia, where she and Matthew fell in love. "You were the couple that everyone thinks Matthew and I was..
y'all were the UGA QB and cheerleader that met and never let go." Though Kelly is sorry for throwing a spotlight on Joe and his family, she does not regret how dating him led her to marrying Matthew. In fact, she noted in a separate post, "It was 16 years ago and if you asked Matthew and I if we would change anything back then.
...
nope." Writing that it's "comical the way things were twisted" about their love story, Kelly continued, "But we appreciate the laughs." Kelly was a UGA cheerleader when she started dating Matthew, who made his debut with the Georgia Bulldogs during his freshman year.
The two tied the knot in 2015, going on to welcome twin girls Chandler and Sawyer.
