Kelly Stafford PutsThe Morning After Podcast on Indefinite Hiatus to ‘Pour Into’ Family

Kelly Stafford announced she’s putting her podcast on hiatus to spend more time with family.

On Wednesday, Nov. 26, the 36-year-old wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford announced on her podcast The Morning After‘s Instagram account that she’s pausing the show after feeling “this pull to get back to my roots.”

Stafford said she was “sitting here thinking about all the ways I am grateful” as she penned a three-part message to the “amazing TMA community.”

The mother of four said she’s grateful “for my life, for the chaos, for the blessings, and especially for y’all,” before thanking her listeners for their “patience” as she’s “been figuring things out” during a break.

“I started this whole thing over four years ago with a crappy mic, zero editing, and honestly zero clue what I was doing,” Stafford wrote, explaining that she wanted “other moms to feel seen, because I was so damn tired of social media pretending everything was perfect.”

Stafford, who shares Hunter, Tyler, and identical twins Sawyer and Chandler with Matthew, said the inspiration for her podcast “hasn’t changed,” and “if anything, it’s even more true now” in 2025. “This space has been exactly what I needed. It has been unbelievably good for me and more importantly…my family,” she wrote.

“But I feel this pull to get back to my roots,” Stafford continued, “and to do that, I have to pour into the people I love most.”

She noted her husband is in “the middle of one hell of a season” and said she wants to “be fully locked in with him” for it. “I want to be present for my girls. I want to give my whole heart to the people who have always given theirs to me,” Stafford wrote.

The podcast host says she’s not saying “goodbye” to The Morning After listeners, but instead, “It’s a ‘see y’all later,’ ” she wrote.

Concluding her message, Stafford thanked her listeners for “letting me grow, change, fall apart, rebuild, and evolve right alongside” them. “Thank you for loving me through all my versions. I’m excited for whatever the next chapter of TMA becomes someday. And until then… RIUTA,” she signed off, referencing a segment on her podcast.
