L.A. Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s Wife Kelly Admits She May Move Out of $40 Million Family Mansion Ahead of NFL Playoffs

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s wife Kelly has confessed that she is considering moving out of their shared $40 million Hidden Hills mansion ahead of the team’s first playoff game on Jan. 13—in a bid to help her husband remain fit and healthy for the last few weeks of the season.

Kelly, 34, shared the update in a recent episode of her podcast, “The Morning After Media,” explaining that she wants to try and protect Matthew, 36, from coming down with the same sick bug that she and her four children are all suffering from.

“I currently believe I have the flu,” she explained, adding that “two of her daughters” have also come down with the illness, admitting that her spouse “won’t come close to me” out of fear that she might be contagious.

“It might be a thing leading up to the playoff game … to isolate him,” she went on. “I don’t think we should be in this house with him, so it would be us moving.”

While the Rams had originally been scheduled to play their first playoff game at their home stadium in Los Angeles, which would have allowed Matthew to avoid travel, the NFL announced on Jan. 8 that it was putting backup plans in place to relocate the matchup to Arizona in the event that the California wildfires make it too dangerous for it to be held at SoFi Stadium.

Either way, Kelly wants to ensure that her husband remains in the best possible condition going into the game.

She conceded that some people might find it strange that she and her kids—twins Sawyer and Chandler, 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4—would be the ones to move out, instead of Matthew relocating, but explained that he needs to stay in their home so that he has access to all of his “work stuff.”

“We would just get out of here,” she continued. “I think that is on the table right now. I mean, we have 105 fevers going around this house right now, and we can’t have Matthew with that going into the playoffs.

“So we’re going to do our best to not let him get that.”

It’s unclear whether Kelly has moved out; however, she did share in a very recent Instagram update that she and her kids had been “fever free for 24 hours,” suggesting that they will be safe to reunite with Matthew ahead of his upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings.

However, the news about her recovery was tainted with sadness and “anxiety,” the mother of four admitted, after their hometown of Los Angeles was ravaged by wildfires, leaving Kelly unsure whether it will be safe for them to remain at their Hidden Hills property.

“The insomnia is hitting,” she wrote in a post shared on her Instagram Stories. “Anxiety, fear, wondering how to best serve the ones who lost everything, will the winds pick up, will a new fire start while we sleep?

“The list in my head goes on and on, but I know one thing. I have taken a roof over my head for granted too many times and tonight I’m thanking God for that and praying hard for the one who don’t have it due to these fires.”

Kelly and Matthew’s property is located near to the Kenneth Fire, which broke out Jan. 9 and has since burned 1,000 acres, according to Cal Fire. That blaze is currently at 35 percent containment.

It appears that Kelly may have fled her home with their children, sharing an image of the back of her car stuffed to the brim with their belongings, captioning it: “The quick evac.”

Minutes later she posted a video of herself driving her car, with an alarm from her safe going off in the background. “Just an hour drive back while our safe lets me know it’s not ‘safe,'” she wrote, while staring at the road ahead of her with wide eyes.

If Kelly has decided to evacuate, she is not the only high-profile Hidden Hills resident to have done so. Singer Jessica Simpson revealed late on Jan. 9 that she had made the decision to flee her property in that same neighborhood, after enormous clouds of smoke began darkening the skies around it.

“We stayed as long as we could,” she wrote on Instagram Stories, while sharing an image of the black clouds threatening to surround her home, which she bought from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for $11.5 million back in 2013.

Meanwhile, the Staffords purchased their sprawling family estate in two parts—the first of which they purchased in 2022, paying $10.5 million for a beautiful property that included a red-brick house and a vineyard.

They then expanded that abode in January 2024, snapping up a neighboring estate, which once belonged to Jennifer Lopez, for $28.2 million, increasing the total value of the entire property to an estimated $40 million.

It is currently unclear whether either of the two homes on the 3-acre parcel have been impacted by the wildfires, which have thus far burned through more than 30,000 acres across Los Angeles, Cal Fire reports.

The first of the blazes, which has thus far proven to be the most severe, broke out in Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7 and has since torn through more than 20,000 acres, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

In total, six wildfires have broken out in the Los Angeles area within one week; however, one of those—the Sunset Fire—has been contained.

Cal Fire states that more than 10,000 structures have been destroyed or damaged by the flames, while 10 people are understood to have died in the blazes.
