Matthew Stafford Says He Was Impressed by Daughter’s School Prank

NFL pro Matthew Stafford always supports his family — even when they get up to some mischief.

The Los Angeles Rams quarterback talked about his reaction to finding out that one of his daughters pulled off a prank at school.

During an appearance on “The Morning After” podcast which is hosted by Hank Winchester and Matthew’s wife, Kelly, he described the prank and his reaction to the incident.

He detailed that while at school, his daughter and her friend would go into empty bathroom stalls and lock them from the inside, then crawl under and leave them locked – and therefore leaving others unable to get in.

Matthew and Kelly recalled how they handled the incident with their daughter on the podcast, with the family consensus that “It’s going to be OK.”

“We didn’t hurt anybody, we didn’t use bad language, we didn’t do anything like ultra-malicious,” he related, of their discussion of the matter. “We did a prank and we shouldn’t do it. We understand that and we got caught. If you do it again, I’ll be upset but I’m not upset.”

He also said there was a part of him that was impressed by the skills that his daughter exhibited.

“I’m kind of like a little proud in the back,” he admitted. “Pretty good prank, pretty good prank. But I was like, ‘Oh, can’t do that.’”

Matthew and Kelly share four daughters, all under 10 years old. His oldest are two twins, Sawyer and Chandler, followed by Hunter and Tyler. (Neither parent revealed which one of the girls pulled off the bathroom shenanigans.)

The couple met while they were still in school at the University of Georgia.

Stafford played on the Detroit Lions for the entirety of his career, until being traded to the Rams in 2021.

Back in June, Kelly Stafford opened up about the early days of their relationship on former bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe’s podcast, “Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristow.”

“It wasn’t that cute of a relationship at first. I hated him. I loved him. I dated the backup to piss him off, which worked,” she told Bristowe.

The two got engaged in 2014, and got married the following year.

In 2019, Kelly revealed that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, on her instagram account..

“The medical term they used was an acoustic neuroma or vestibular schwannoma. All I heard was brain tumor & that they had to do surgery to take it out,” wrote Stafford. “So that is what we are going to do & we believe we found the best doctor to do it. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely terrified of brain surgery.”

She later revealed that she had a successful surgery.
