Kelly Stafford fired back at an Instagram commenter who told her to “get a facelift,” warning the man she hopes no one ever speaks that way to his daughter.
The 37-year-old wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, 38, posted the exchange on her Instagram Stories Thursday after sharing a makeup-free skincare video earlier that day. The negative message came from a user identified as David and read: “Get a facelift……. You have money.”
Rather than ignore it, Stafford addressed him directly in her reply. “David, my guy… I pray no one ever says this to your beautiful daughter ❤️,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
The registered nurse had originally posted the video as part of her “game-day skin prep,” showing her face without makeup or filters before applying products. Standing in her bathroom, she explained why she felt compelled to share her unfiltered appearance.
“I’m 37, I have four lovely daughters and I spend every Sunday either on a Jumbotron or in front of a lot of people,” she said in the Instagram video.
She told viewers she needed more from her moisturizer than basic hydration. “I need a moisturizer that does more than just moisturize,” she continued.
Stafford then presented what she called her “before” look to the camera. “You guys have been asking. This is it. Okay, here’s the before, no filter, no makeup, just completely tired mom skin and tired mom eyes too. I mean, why not?”
She applied Innis Beauty’s Extreme Cream moisturizer, calling it “the one step I’m not skipping anymore,” and used the brand’s eye cream before putting on makeup to show the difference. “One step and you’re just like ‘fwoop’,” she commented during the demonstration.
The mother of four — Sawyer and Chandler, both nine, Hunter, eight, and Tyler, six — noted the particular challenges of balancing motherhood with the public attention that comes from being married to an NFL star.
While some followers praised her transparency, the facelift remark prompted her public response.
Stafford has previously emphasized keeping her children at the center of family life regardless of football demands. In a September interview, she stated that their household does not revolve entirely around the sport. “Our life has a lot of football in it. I wouldn’t say it revolves around it. Our life revolves around our children,” she said. She described their time together at home as particularly special.
Kelly and Matthew Stafford have been married since 2015.
