NFL wife Kelly Stafford reveals weed gummies ‘make me a better parent'
Kelly Stafford shared her ultimate parenting hack.
Kelly, who shares four daughters with husband and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, revealed in the latest episode of her podcast she "sometimes" enjoys taking THC gummies.
"Gummies are great," she said on "The Morning After" podcast. "Sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent. They calm me down. It's like the glass of wine."
Kelly, who has four children under 8, said she does feel "a little guilty" admitting it.
"I feel a little guilty saying it, and it's not like I do it every night, but sometimes I'm like, 'S--- it has been a long day. I don't want to rip my hair out or their hair out, so I am going to just top it off with a little gummy.'"
Kelly added that she does have the support of her husband.
"This is what Matthew always tells me. He's like, 'As long as they're in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there?' Just like, just get them there."
A recent study by researchers at UC San Francisco determined that eating edible cannabis, such as gummies, has the same cardiovascular risk as smoking marijuana for long-term users. The risk stems from reduced blood vessel function, according to the study, published in JAMA Cardiology May 28.
The Stafford family faced uncertainty this offseason amid trade speculation and stalled contract negotiations between the veteran NFL quarterback and the Rams. In March, the sides agreed to a restructured deal.
"This is where we both wanted to be, and I'm just glad he gets to play for the team and the coach that he wants to end his career with," Kelly said on her podcast in March. The NFL Network reported last month that, under the new restructured contract, Stafford is due to earn up to $84 million over the next two years.
Under his previous contract, that number was $58 million.

Want to reduce your heart attack risk? Do this kind of exercise
When it comes to fortifying heart health and preventing a potential heart attack, cardiologists say one type of physical activity is better than the rest. Heart disease is the nation's top killer, with more than 371,000 Americans dying of coronary heart disease in 2022. 'Aerobic exercise training should be promoted above all else,' Dr. Luke Laffin, a preventive cardiologist and co-director of the Center for Blood Pressure Disorders at the Cleveland Clinic, told Aerobic exercises include walking or jogging, swimming or cycling – even dancing. These exercises raise your heart rate, with your cells using oxygen to produce energy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. They typically use large muscle groups in the body, too. Laffin says multiple studies have shown aerobic activity is better than other types of exercise when it comes to reducing the result of a heart attack. Here's what you should know... Aerobic activity – also known as cardio, referencing the Greek word for the heart – exercises the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, getting the heart to beat faster, according to Mayo Clinic. Over time, regular cardio can mean can mean your heart doesn't have to work as hard, Cleveland Clinic notes. Aerobic exercise can strengthen the blood vessels, improve the flow of oxygen throughout the body, lower blood pressure, increase 'good' cholesterol, and help to reduce the risk of heart disease – including coronary heart disease – and stroke. High blood pressure can lead to heart attack. Anaerobic exercise, including strength and high intensity interval training, can also strengthen the heart and lungs. But, the benefits are different. 'Aerobic exercise and resistance training are the most important for heart health,' Johns Hopkins exercise physiologist Kerry Stewart said. 'Although flexibility doesn't contribute directly to heart health, it's nevertheless important because it provides a good foundation for performing aerobic and strength exercises more effectively.' Well, federal health authorities say American adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week. That's also what Laffin recommends, although the benefits grow if you do oven more. The Baylor College of Medicine says splitting the 150 minutes into 30-minute intervals allow for five active days and two rest days. 'Jog, swim, golf, hike, play basketball, dance, do yoga — whatever you love to do. The most important thing is to get out there and do it,' UT Southwestern Medical Center cardiologist Dr. Ben Levin advises.
