“Long story short, it wasn’t that cute of a relationship at first. I hated him. I loved him. I dated the backup to piss him off which worked,” she said.
Kelly went on to detail her unconventional method to clinch love.
“He was the bad boy too. Matthew is so sweet and Southern gentleman and all that stuff, and the backup was the complete opposite,” she said on the podcast.

“They lived in the same dorm because athletes lived in the same dorm and he would see my car there. So, at one point, he waited and followed me out to my car and got in my car and wouldn’t get out,” she continued.
“He was like, ‘He’s not right for you.’ and I was like, ‘You can’t tell me that. Get the fuck out of my car.”

“Meanwhile, he’s dating like 12 out of 10s, he’s dating supermodels,” she said.
Kelly explained that they began dating when they were both college students at the University of Georgia, and she claimed to be innocent at the time, saying she “didn’t know casual dating.” (Click HERE to sign up for the Daily Caller’s latest newsletter, Mr. Right’s weekly)
“I was still coming out of high school. I was in a long relationship in high school. And so I was like, ‘You know, I want to take my time,'” she added.
“We met, talked all night, had a really good time. But he was a quarterback of an SEC college.”

“It was a lot of back and forth. I think if you ask anyone who knew us at Georgia, if they thought we would’ve ended up together [with] four kids, they would’ve laughed their asses off,” she said as she laughed. (Click HERE to sign up for the Daily Caller’s latest newsletter, Mr. Right’s weekly)
