Matthew Stafford’s Wife Kelly Apologizes to the “Backup” Joe Cox’s Family For Implying She Slept With Him

By apologizing to the man some people thought she was referring to in the anecdote, Kelly Stafford is addressing the “media storm” that followed her admission that she dated a backup quarterback in Georgia in order to make Matthew Stafford jealous.In case it escaped your notice… Kelly revealed how she met her current husband while cheering in Athens during an appearance on the ‘Off the Vine’ podcast earlier this month. In an attempt to catch his attention, she acknowledged on the television that she went after his backup first. Naturally, the scheme eventually succeeded. Though many people believed Joe Cox was to blame, the social media discussion that followed had nothing to do with Kelly and Matthew’s sluggish start.
