Quarterback Matthew Stafford may be enjoying his season with the Rams. But his personal life is in shambles. The life of Stafford’s wife, Kelly, has turned for the worse. She recently shared a concerning health update, urging fans to help her out. 

“This has been happening at least once a day for the past couple of weeks,” she wrote on Instagram. “Anyone wanna tell what’s going on with my circulation? They go completely numb.”

On Friday, Kelly shared a clip on her Instagram story that instantly raised alarms. In the video, she showed her hand in sunlight, and her index and ring fingers looked pale and drained of blood. It almost looked as if the circulation had stopped. Moreover, the other fingers stayed white instead of turning red even after pressing her fingertip.

Unable to understand her situation, Kelly added a question sticker to her story, asking her followers for help. At the time of writing, Matthew Stafford’s wife has shared no diagnosis or details. The 36-year-old has faced multiple health battles over the years. 

Just last month, she took a break from her podcast, The Morning After, to focus on her mental health and family. The podcast was consuming too much of her time and energy. Since starting the podcast in 2021, she has bluntly spoken up about Matthew’s career, motherhood, and her personal struggles.

Kelly faced another setback in 2019 following her acoustic neuroma diagnosis. After some months, surgeons successfully removed the brain tumor, which carried risks of hearing loss and facial paralysis. Her past health battles have shaped Kelly’s perspective on life and family, making every small victory all the more meaningful. And now, her latest update follows a sweet victory that she and her husband experienced in something very close to their hearts.

Welcome to the world, Baby Stafford, your story is already shining bright. ✨.” 

The newborn was born to Jakob and Mikayla, recipients of the 2024 Brilora Stafford IVF Grant. They chose the name “Stafford” as a tribute to Matthew and Kelly, who had made it possible. They established the grant in partnership with Brilora Fertility Foundation after facing their own fertility struggles. It aimed to help individuals and couples with the high costs of fertility treatment. 

‘This cause is deeply personal for the Staffords, who were blessed with lovely twins through IVF nine years ago. The experience inspired the pair to support others. It inspired the pair to support others who were walking the same emotional and financial path. Since then, Kelly and her husband have never looked back.
