Whether you liked it or not, Kelly Stafford has been very vocal during her and husband Matthew Stafford's time in Detroit. And quick to come to his defense.
She's served at times as the de facto spokeswoman for Matthew, who isn't usually one to open up. And now it appears that Stafford has played his last game for the Lions, a reality Kelly acknowledged via Instagram.
"Thank you. This place, our home, the people... it’s hard to find the words to explain what this place means to me," Stafford wrote. "Random tears come very often when I think about not being here. This place supported me during the toughest time of my life and during the happiest times and I want to thank y’all in the right way.
"Whenever I figure out what the future holds, you’ll be hearing from me again with a thank you that hopefully shows how much gratitude and love I have for this place.. but until then we are going to enjoy our time left in Michigan to the fullest because there really is no other place like it."
Kelly has made strides to ingratiate the family into the fabric of metro Detroit, taking her four little girls to deliver donuts to first responders, delivering gifts to the needy at the holidays and highlighting local retail shops and restaurants on her Instagram.
She and the couple's four blonde daughters are regulars at local parks, bakeries, gyms and other spots, while Matthew stayed out of spotlight when he wasn't on the field.
