Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, regrets saying her husband is having trouble connecting with the younger players in his locker room. 

Stafford spoke with Local 4 Detroit’s Christy McDonald on "A Conversation With," saying her comments about her husband were "probably the worst thing I’ve done when it comes to him."

"That was tough," she said. "I say all the time, probably not the best if your wife’s name is in the media, if it’s talking about sports. I felt pretty bad last week. I put my foot in my mouth pretty good last week."

Stafford still feels it’s a "relatable" topic but likely didn’t anticipate the national headlines she created. 

"I spoke on a topic that I think, it’s relatable, to the fact that it’s hard to relate to someone who is ten years younger than you," she explained. "And I do think that’s entirely true. But I’m not in an NFL locker room. I’m not spending every day with these teammates."

It was on her podcast, "The Morning After With Kelly Stafford," where she revealed her husband, a Super Bowl-champion quarterback with the Rams, told her he struggled connecting with certain players in the locker room.
