The wife of the quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams Matthew Stafford said that Taylor Swift And Brittany Mahomes — Girlfriend and wife of Kansas City Chiefs players Travis Kelce And Patrick Mahomes) – have things “pretty much sorted out” in their relationships.
“I think they’ve got their things pretty much sorted out and know where they are in life,” Stafford told E! News when asked to impart some words of wisdom to the duo.
Still, the veteran football wife has been married to a professional for over a decade, and Kelly has learned some lessons she wishes she could have told her younger self.
“Everyone will tell you how you should look, what you should say and what you shouldn’t say, all of those things,” the host of The Morning After podcast said. “And when you start listening to that, you lose the values and everything that you have and that makes you who you are and the person your husband fell in love with.”
Kelly, 35, has four children with her husband, who is always there for her: Sawyer and Chandler, both 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4. On the subject of pressure, she speaks from experience: She says she briefly succumbed to the pressure of all the outside voices commenting on her relationship.
“Don’t try to become the person that everyone else expects you to be,” Kelly said. “Because that’s what I did and I lost who I was. And that has to do with personality, looks and everything.”
She added: “You can’t completely block out the noise, but try to listen to yourself first before listening to others.”
Of course, Swift has some experience in keeping herself in check despite relentless outside pressure. As one of the world’s most famous pop stars, she’s no stranger to unsolicited opinions and prying eyes. By all accounts, her relationship with 34-year-old Kelce is going well. The pair spent time together at their Rhode Island mansion earlier this week before celebrating a star-studded party that included Brittany and Patrick.
NFL wives and girlfriends have made a definite style impression on (and off) the field. Ciara, Brittany Mahomes and Kristin Juszczyk are just a few of the women who have dazzled us with their outstanding fashion taste. Take Kristin, for example, who always supports her husband Kyle Juszczyk (who plays as the San Francisco 49ers) (…)
Brittany, for her part, announced in July that she and Patrick are expecting baby No. 3. In May, her Super Bowl-winning husband called her a “Hall of Fame mom” to their two children – Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 2.
“I don’t think people realize how much she does,” Patrick said on Logan Paul’s podcast “Impaulsive.” “She takes care of the day-to-day stuff and makes sure I can focus on football, my craft and everything like that. Just being a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife.”
