As Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams get ready for the 2026 NFL season, his wife, Kelly Stafford, is making headlines again.
The former University of Georgia cheerleader is no stranger to seeing her name in the headlines. Kelly Stafford, 37, has gone viral in the past for comments made on social media and during her “Morning After” podcast. This time, the former college cheerleader is going viral for her behavior at a kid’s birthday party.
Kelly Stafford and friends broke out the Jell-O shots at her 8-year-old daughter’s birthday party over the weekend.
“It’s for the kids / HBD Huntie!!!” a post shared by Kelly Stafford read.

Of course, these probably weren’t really for the “kids.”
“It’s also worth noting that there’s no way these drinks are literally ‘for the kids,’ as the caption might suggest. Instead, the assumption is that the ‘It’s for the kids’ caption is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying the adults are using the birthday celebration as an excuse to indulge themselves with some drinks,” the New York Post reported.
Kelly Stafford sparks reactions with birthday party behavior
Fans took to social media to weigh in.
“She is an adult. If she wants a cocktail, she can have a cocktail,” one fan wrote.
“Nothing worse than parents needing to booze at a 8yr old bday party. Grow up,” one fan added.
“She’s pure trash! Would be impossible for me to dislike someone more than her,” one fan added.
“These people have very clearly never been to a one year old’s birthday in Wisconsin,” another fan added.
Matthew Stafford and the Rams, meanwhile, are currently getting ready for their Week 1 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers. The game will be played in Australia and air exclusively on Netflix.
