Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford, went viral last week when she told a story on a podcast about how she dated Stafford's backup at Georgia to make him mad during their college days.

This week Kelly Stafford offered an apology to Joe Cox, the former QB, and his family, saying she was sorry for the media storm they were subjected to after she shared the very personal story.

In case you missed it, here is Kelly Stafford telling the tale about the brief relationship she had with her now husband's ex-teammate and how it made him mad at the time and eventually led to them getting back together:

Here's her apology, which she shared on Instagram:

“To this beautiful fam…I’m sorry for the media storm that happened last week that made its way into your lives. You had ZERO involvement in what I spoke about and in fact it was was ya’lls relationship in college that I looked up to and wanted for me and Matthew. You were the couple that everyone things Matthew and I was.. y'all were the UGA QB and cheerleader that met and never let go. I love y'all."
