Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, took a private "reset" trip to Homewood, Lake Tahoe, prior to the team's departure for Australia for their NFL regular-season opener.
Kelly Stafford shared a collage of images on Instagram Friday, describing the getaway as "A reset before the chaos. / I just love this man ❤️." The trip to Lake Tahoe, an approximately eight-hour drive from Los Angeles, appeared to be a private excursion for the couple. It is unclear if their four daughters accompanied them on this particular trip, as photos of the children were not included in the post.
This personal time comes as the Rams are scheduled to travel to Australia for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. The decision for the team to travel to Australia a day before their scheduled opener has drawn attention.
Kelly Stafford has previously spoken about her husband's focus on family time and attending his daughters' sporting events. She has indicated that these desires might influence Stafford's decisions regarding his future in the NFL, potentially leading to retirement in the coming years. At 38 years old, Stafford is prioritizing these moments away from the field when available, especially as the upcoming season demands his full attention.
