The wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hosted a high-profile Week 1 watch party at the couple’s home as supporters of the NFL side gathered to watch the season opener. The event, organised and led by Kelly Stafford, offered guests a range of branded gifts, bespoke merchandise and a spread of food and drink, according to a vlog shared by attendee Emma Ingle.
Luxurious hospitality despite on-field defeat
The social gathering took place as the Rams faced the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, a match the visitors lost 27-7. Despite the on-field disappointment, the women attending—frequently described in media as WAGs (wives and girlfriends)—were treated to a series of comforts and experiences at the Staffords’ residence.
Emma Ingle, the wife of Rams safety Tanner Ingle, posted a vlog in which she recorded various elements of the evening. Her footage showed guests being invited to help themselves to multiple gift bags containing an assortment of items. The vlog detailed a generous selection of giveaways and on-site activities:
- gift bags filled with beauty products, wine, baby clothes, jewellery and Hydro Flasks;
- a customisation station from Stoney Clover where attendees could personalise tote bags;
- food laid out including a large sushi tray, ice cream and a variety of cocktails and mocktails;
- onsite pampering such as massage facilities;
- custom sweatshirts and hats provided to the guests.
Ingle said she left with a baby bag and a game‑day bag after choosing from the assortment of items. She also showed that she had a bracelet made on-site and spent some time having a massage. As she is expecting her third child, Ingle opted for a non‑alcoholic “mommy mocktail” during the evening.
Event branding and atmosphere
The event included branded touches and bespoke apparel for those present. A Stoney Clover setup allowed guests to tailor bags to their preferences. Custom sweatshirts and hats were among the clothing items worn by attendees, contributing to a coordinated look for the evening.

“When we arrived at the Staffords' home, we were told to grab the bags and fill them up with multiple beauty products, wine bottles, baby clothes, jewellery, Hydro Flasks, and more,” Emma Ingle said in her vlog.
After collecting gifts and refreshments, the group moved to a backyard area to watch the players on the field. The social element of the evening provided a moment of camaraderie for partners and family members of the Rams squad amid the pressures and scrutiny of a new NFL season.
Public profiles and personal disclosures
The watch party sits within a broader public spotlight on the Staffords. Matthew and Kelly Stafford’s relationship is well documented: the pair met at the University of Georgia, where he was on the football team and she was a cheerleader, later marrying in 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. Kelly Stafford has been candid in media appearances about the realities of married life; on her podcast she has described marriage as challenging, a remark that drew attention when it was first broadcast in 2024.
For observers of sports culture, the event illustrates the expanding role of partners and family members in the social life surrounding elite sport. Whether through organised hospitality, branded merchandising or social media vlogs, such gatherings increasingly form part of the narrative that surrounds players and franchises.
While the occasion was notable for its scale and the hospitality on offer, it will be remembered by attendees and viewers for coinciding with a disappointing result on the field for the Rams. For supporters and commentators alike, the weekend combined off-field spectacle with the unvarnished business of competitive sport.
