Matt and his wife Kelly Eberflus have been together for more than 30 years and are still there for one other no matter what
Former University of Toledo linebacker Matt Eberflus transitioned to teaching and advanced through the ranks fast. He became the head coach of the Chicago Bears in 2022 after succeeding as a defensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts, but he struggled in this position and was fired by the Bears on November 29, 2024.
Following one of the worst game-ending scenes in recent memory, which cost the Bears their Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, Eberflus was fired.
Eberflus is obviously going through a difficult moment, but he has a network of people who will support him throughout this difficult period. Eberflus’ wife Kelly helps him stay composed during the busy NFL season.

Despite her husband’s well-known career, Kelly Eberflus is a private person who would rather avoid the spotlight. The couple has a long history together and has a close relationship that has withstood the highs and lows of NFL life. Despite her low profile, Kelly has been a vital source of support for Matt. Since Matt and Kelly met while attending Toledo, they were probably within four years of one another, even if not much about her early years is known to the public.
Kelly Eberflus’ father was a high school football coach and a college football player, while her grandfather was an NFL player and coach when he was younger.
While not much about her childhood is public, given that Matt and Kelly met while they were students at Toledo, they are likely within four years of each other and born in May 1970, Matt Eberflus is currently 54.
“I grew up on a football field,” Kelly told Colts.com on a closer look at the coaches’ wives in 2019. “I literally grew up going to his camps in the summer.”
Both of their daughters are competitive dancers coached by their father and the Eberflus family is outspoken about their Christian faith and are big country music fans.
It’s really helpful to have someone who knows how much football can drain you, and Kelly has supported Matt through every stage. The couple’s romance took off right away. After being married, Matt and Kelly had two kids, Giada and Grace.
Matt met Kelly while he was playing college football for the University of Toledo with the two having been married for several years now. Grace, their elder daughter, is 26 years old and Giada, on the other hand, is around 21 years old.
Football is family 💙

The GP MADE Foundation was founded by Matt and Kelly Eberflus. The charity was established in 2019 with the goal of assisting children and young people in overcoming obstacles in life, such as overcoming cancer, overcoming debt, and escaping poverty.
Kelly participates in NFL community projects and other team charitable events. Their long-term partnership has given Matt the stability he needs, particularly in a field where job security and stability are scarce. While her net worth isn’t known, Matt earned between $3.5-$4.5 million per year with the Bears and has a net worth of $5 million.
