Matt Eberflus is recognized for his NFL coaching career, but he’s also a husband and a father. The now-former Chicago Bears coach has kept his personal life away from the public eye. However, his wife previously opened up about their love story and current life raising their two kids.
Learn all about Matt’s wife and daughters, below.
Matt is married to his wife, Kelly Eberflus. According to multiple outlets, the couple met while in college at the University of Toledo, where Matt played football for the school’s team. He was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2004.
While speaking with Matt’s former team, the Indianapolis Colts, in 2019, Kelly acknowledged that she comes from a football family, and therefore, knew about that world before falling in love with her husband.
“I grew up on the football field. It’s really all I know,” Kelly explained. “My grandfather played in the NFL and coached. My dad played college football and coached high school football for years. I literally grew up going to his camps in the summer, sitting on the field and going up in the old wooden press boxes.”
Kelly then opened up about meeting Matt, which was around the time he got into coaching rather than staying on the field.
“When I first met Matt, he didn’t want to get into coaching,” Kelly pointed out. “It wasn’t what he went to school for, but he didn’t red shirt, so he had another year left. He was a student assistant and loved it. He was a graduate assistant one year and then Gary Pinkel, who was the coach at Toledo, hired him full time.”
