How many kids does Matthew Stafford have? All we knows as kids and wife hospitalized before playoff game

Ahead of the Los Angeles Rams game against the Minnesota Vikings, Matthew Stafford was met with distressing news. Kelly Stafford, the NFL star’s wife, shared an Instagram story on January 11, 2025, revealing her twin daughters, Sawyer and Chandler, being hospitalized. The following day, Kelly shared a positive update confirming that they (she and her twins) “are happy” despite being ill.

Matthew and Kelly Stafford (née Hall) are parents to four daughters. The college sweethearts married in April 2015 and welcomed their firstborns—identical twins, Sawyer, and Chandler, in March 2017. The following year, their third daughter, Hunter, was born. Almost two years later, their fourth daughter, Tyler, was born in June 2020.

Kelly, who also co-hosts a podcast, The Morning After, with Han Winchester, is quite active on social media and often posts pictures of her family with her daughters. Matthew Stafford, who made his NFL debut with the Detroit Lions, is currently with the Los Angeles Rams. After being traded to the LA Rams, Matthew Stafford won his first Super Bowl with the team.

Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, and their twin daughters were seemingly struggling with the flu

Kelly Stafford and her kids probably struggled with the flu before they were hospitalized on Saturday night. On the recent episode of her The Morning After podcast, Stafford shared that she might have the flu (at the time of recording):

“I can’t think straight. I currently believe I have the flu. Two of my daughters have the flu. And I wasn’t able to move yesterday at the game [Rams vs Seahawks. I passed out on a little bench in the suite.”

Before Matthew Stafford’s daughters and wife were hospitalized, the quarterback was ready to play against the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. However, the wild card playoff game was relocated to State Farm Stadium in Arizona due to the ongoing Southern California wildfires.

On January 13, Stafford's family attended the playoff game to support him. Kelly Stafford even posted an Instagram story about the family aboard the bus going to the Arizona stadium. Ultimately, the LA Rams didn’t disappoint, as the team clinched the wild card game against the Minnesota Vikings by 27-9.

Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams will next face the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional playoff game. The game will be played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on January 19, 2025.
