Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly Stafford opens up about using weed gummies to manage parenting stress with four daughters

Parenting is far from picture-perfect, and no one embraces that reality more candidly than Kelly Stafford. As the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and mom to four young daughters, Kelly has never shied away from sharing her unfiltered take on the chaos, challenges, and coping mechanisms that come with motherhood.

Kelly Stafford admits weed gummies help her be a better parent to her four daughters

On a recent episode of her podcast The Morning After, Kelly opened up about how weed gummies have quietly become her go-to method for handling the more stressful parenting moments. “Gummies are great. Sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent. They calm me down. It’s like the glass of wine,” she admitted with refreshing honesty.Kelly’s remarks were met with support from guest Kit Hoover, who called the edibles a “glass of patience”—a term Kelly immediately embraced.

“Thank you for saying that,” she replied. “I feel a little guilty—and it’s not like I do it every night—but sometimes I’m like, ‘S--t it has been a long day, I don’t want to rip my hair out or their hair out so I am going to just top it off with a little gummy.’”

This kind of raw, relatable confession is what has made Kelly a standout voice in the digital space. She isn’t afraid to question traditional ideas of what makes a “good mom,” stating, “As long as they’re in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there? Like, just get them there.”

And while she admits to occasional guilt, she’s found humor in the process. “They’re like, ‘Mommy’s nice tonight,’” she joked, noting how even her daughters notice the shift.The openness Kelly brings to her podcast goes beyond parenting hacks. She’s also discussed her past health scare involving a brain tumor, something she says ultimately strengthened her relationship with Matthew. “It was tough,” she recalled.

“But I always say, it helped my marriage. It helped, just like, our family unit in a way. I’m grateful for it … and it’s because there was a good outcome.”While Kelly holds down the home front, Matthew continues to thrive on the field. The Rams quarterback recently secured a contract worth $44 million—with the potential to reach $84 million if he remains on the roster into the 2025 free agency window. With expectations high for the Rams in the upcoming season, especially after their gritty playoff run against the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles, the Stafford household has plenty on its plate.Still, Kelly remains grounded—juggling life as a mother, podcast host, and NFL wife with a mix of humor, grace, and the occasional gummy. In a world full of filtered family portraits and Instagram-perfect parenting, her honesty is not only refreshing—it’s a breath of much-needed reality.Also Read: Gisele Bundchen gives Tom Brady a cold, silent Father’s Day while she chooses peace and passion with Joaquim Valente
