Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly Stafford can add “matchmaker” to their resumes.
Fox Sports host Charissa Thompson explained that the couple, who she’s close friends with, set her up with boyfriend Steven Cundari — the co-founder of Summit House, a full-service creative marketing and advertising agency.
Thompson made the revelation during the latest installment of her “Calm Down” podcast with Erin Andrews, who gushed over Cundari to their guest, fellow sportscaster, Dan Patrick.
“I love him,” Andrews said repeatedly. “I basically call him her husband because I’m thinking it into existence.
“You will love him. Great sense of humor, super fun, good hang — can go to the work party and just be with my husband [Jarret Stoll]. You would love him.”
That’s when Thompson explained how she and Cundari met.
“Dan, the story there is that Matthew Stafford and Kelly were sick of me dating losers and they were like ‘we have a great guy for you,'” she recalled.
“So they were the matchmakers. So it was vetted,” Thompson said, laughing. “I know the social security and the bank account, so all is right.”
The “Thursday Night Football” host added that she “would never get married again.”
Thompson went through a public divorce with sports agent Kyle Thousand in 2022 after two years of marriage.
She is fairly private about her personal life, but occasionally makes light of her past relationships on her podcast.
Thompson and Andrews have been close friends with Stafford and his wife for years, and Kelly has shared photos of the group during various outing on social media.
In June, Thompson, Cundari and the Staffords attended the same wedding in Cabo, according to Kelly’s Instagram.
Cundari was also a guest on Kelly’s “The Morning After” podcast in 2021.
