“To this lovely family…Kelly Stafford said, “I apologize for the media frenzy that occurred last week and found its way into your lives. “You had absolutely nothing to do with what I said, and in fact, I was inspired by and wanted Matthew and me to have a relationship like yours during college. Everyone assumed that you and Matthew were the couple.
“The UGA quarterback and cheerleaders met, and they stayed together forever. I cherish you all.”
