Kelly Stafford went through serious brain surgery in 2019

In 2019, Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, went through brain surgery after doctors found a tumor in her brain. The tumor was non-cancerous, was present in her cranial nerves, and was successfully removed with a 12-hour-long surgery.

In an ESPN essay, Kelly described her journey and how she got to know about the initial symptoms.

“I was in Michigan and had just gotten a massage. When I walked out, I just didn’t feel right. I was light-headed and it felt like the world was spinning around me. My biggest fear is not being here, and not being here to raise my girls. When I went home to hug my girls after the diagnosis, I knew I needed to get through this,” Kelly said.

Going forward, she also talked about how her husband was so “incredible” throughout the process, noting that he was by her side all the time. It’s been five years since the surgery, and Kelly is fit and healthy. With her husband, Kelly runs a podcast called 'The Morning After'.
