Kelly Stafford has answered an Instagram commenter who told her to get a facelift, sharing his remark publicly and responding with a message about his daughter.
The 37-year-old wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford posted a skincare video on November 12, beginning without makeup or filters before showing how she gets ready for football games.
The tutorial was a brand partnership with INNBEAUTY PROJECT. Kelly demonstrated moisturizer and eye cream, describing tired skin and eyes as she walked viewers through the steps she uses before applying makeup.
She explained that Sundays often put her on stadium video boards or in front of large crowds. Preparing for those appearances has become part of her routine while supporting her husband’s NFL career.
Kelly’s Reply Brought Up the Commenter’s Daughter
Among the supportive responses was a comment from a man identified as David, who wrote, “Get a facelift……. You have money.” According to PEOPLE, Kelly took a screenshot of the remark and posted it on her Instagram Stories. She shared her own message with the screenshot: “David, my guy… I pray no one ever says this to your beautiful daughter ❤️.”
Online Criticism Previously Left Her in Tears
On the January 2, 2025, episode of The Morning After, Kelly became emotional while discussing whether she could continue using social media. She said maintaining an online presence was important to promoting her podcast, even as the comments were affecting her mental health.
As Us Weekly reported, she described receiving criticism regardless of how she presented herself. Some people suggested she needed more makeup, others assumed she had undergone cosmetic procedures when she had taken extra time to get ready. She joked that she would tell listeners herself if she ever chose to have facial surgery.
Matthew could often recognize when an online remark had upset her simply by noticing her mood after she put down her phone. Kelly said those feelings stayed with her beyond the moment she read a comment. Her resolution was to pay more attention to the opinions of people who mattered in her life, and she asked listeners to stop leaving hurtful messages on anyone’s posts.
She Has Discussed Her Own Cosmetic Procedures
Kelly spoke about her personal choices during the May 26, 2025, episode of her podcast, when Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher joined the conversation. She described procedures she had undergone after having children, including a tummy tuck and abdominal muscle repair.
She first visited Fisher in 2021, approximately a year after welcoming her youngest child. Kelly recalled initially thinking a tummy tuck primarily involved fat removal, then learning more about how the procedure addressed loose skin. She discussed asking questions before deciding what she wanted.
Kelly said she felt more confident afterward and connected her decision with wanting to feel like herself again after pregnancy and motherhood. During the same conversation, she recalled a less positive experience with a laser treatment before having children, saying it left burns on her face that required ointment and protective pads during a ski trip.
Raising Four Girls Brings Its Own Concerns
Kelly and Matthew met at the University of Georgia and married in April 2015. They share twins Sawyer and Chandler, 9, Hunter, 8, and Tyler, 6. In an October 6 interview with Us Weekly, Kelly said living in Los Angeles made her conscious of pressure to look a certain way and worried her about what her daughters would experience as they grew older.
Speaking while promoting a Wayfair partnership, she said she and Matthew wanted a simpler upbringing for their children. She emphasized manners, respect and spending time with people who shared their values. Longtime friends and relatives were important to that effort because they knew the couple well enough to challenge them.
The family had yet to decide where to live after Matthew retires. Kelly missed watching her nieces and nephews grow up and having extended family nearby, but recognized that her daughters had established friendships, routines and sports teams in California. Matthew enjoyed living there, too, leaving the couple still considering how to balance those priorities.
