It’s worth noting that Kelly used to play football for the University of Kentucky. The interim GM of the Raiders used to play as a wide receiver and defensive back there. Despite this, he didn’t have a career in the NFL as a player. However, he has been there in the league as an executive and his wife Stephanie has been supporting him.
Who is Stephanie Kelly?
Champ Kelly began his NFL career in 2007 as the college scout for the Denver Broncos. The 42-year-old general manager has come a long way since then. Throughout all this time, Kelly has had his wife Stephanie Kelly as his biggest pillar of support. She has been cheering for him in his personal as well as professional life.
As per reports, Stephanie is a huge philanthropist. She is an important part of Kelly’s Nonprofit organization ‘Heart Power Inc.’. The lovely couple has been working together with their organization to make the lives better for the people in need. They mainly look after the needy young people through their organization.
The wife of Champ Kelly keeps taking part in the youth activities that their organization sponsors. It further highlights her commitment and determination to work for a good cause. Along with that, she makes sure that she’s always there for her husband in his career. Champ and Stephanie have been married for a long time now and are enjoying their life together.
How many kids does Champ Kelly has with Stephanie Kelly?
Champ Kelly and Stephanie Kelly have 3 kids together. They have their beautiful daughters Claire, Caroline, and Chloe. After their marriage, they had their first daughter, Claire. Reports suggest that she’s quite a curious one and represents her family’s traits extremely well. She is a diligent little girl and does all her work with dedication like her mother.
After Claire, the Kelly couple had their middle child, Chloe. As per reports, she’s always full of enthusiasm. Chole tries to be happy and optimistic most of the time to cheer everyone up. She’s reportedly full of energy and is the light of the NFL executive’s family.
Caroline is the youngest of the three daughters of Champ Kelly and Stephanie Kelly. She’s like a combination of her other two sisters. With their three daughters, the Raiders’ GM and his wife have a happy family. They all keep having family outings and trips to ensure a strong bond. During the press conference after becoming the interim GM, Kelly even thanked his daughters and wife for supporting him.
