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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">Learn all about Matt\u2019s wife and daughters, below.<\/p>\n<h2>Matt Eberflus\u2019 Wife, Kelly<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Matt is married to his wife, <strong>Kelly Eberflus<\/strong>. According to multiple outlets, the couple met while in college at the University of Toledo, where Matt played football for the school\u2019s team. He was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2004.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">While speaking with Matt\u2019s former team, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colts.com\/news\/the-colts-wives-on-their-football-lives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, in 2019, Kelly acknowledged that she comes from a football family, and therefore, knew about that world before falling in love with her husband.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">\u201cI grew up on the football field. It\u2019s really all I know,\u201d Kelly explained. \u201cMy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">Kelly then opened up about meeting Matt, which was around the time he got into coaching rather than staying on the field.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5349766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5349766\" style=\"width: 718px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5349766 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GettyImages-1784812635-e1732894314316.jpeg?quality=100&amp;w=718&amp;resize=718%2C1024\" alt=\"Who Is Matt Eberflus? 5 Things About the Chicago Bears Head Coach\" width=\"718\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5349766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">\u201cWhen I first met Matt, he didn\u2019t want to get into coaching,\u201d Kelly pointed out. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t what he went to school for, but he didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Matt served as a student assistant coach for Toledo in 1992, then worked as a graduate assistant in 1993. From 1994 to 1995, he was Toledo\u2019s recruiting coordinator and the outside linebackers\u2019 coach. Afterward, he moved up to working as the outside linebackers\u2019 coach from 1996 to 1998. From 1999 to 2000, Matt worked as the defensive backs coach for Toledo until he left to pursue a career with the NFL.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">\u201cWhen he was young in coaching, he had to learn how to treat the wins and the losses the same,\u201d Kelly said about her husband\u2019s college coaching days. \u201cI remember saying to him one time, \u2018You better figure this out before we have kids.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Matt\u2019s Daughters<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">Matt and Kelly share two daughters together. According to several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/nfl-active-news-who-is-matt-eberflus-wife-meet-the-bears-head-coachs-partner-kelly-eberflus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">outlets<\/a>, their children\u2019s names are Grace and Giada.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">During Kelly\u2019s 2019 interview with the Colts, she recalled how her and Matt\u2019s daughters grew up watching their dad work as a major-league coach.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-13\">\u201cHe would come home from a game, and the girls would dress him up and play pretty, pretty princess,\u201d Kelly revealed. \u201cIt was a great balance.\u201d She then joked that people would ask the spouses \u201cAre you guys trying for a boy? Don\u2019t you want a boy?\u201d and their answer was, \u201cNo. He has boys. He\u2019s got more testosterone than he needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/matt-eberflus-wife-kids-5349850\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: Getty Images Matt Eberflus is recognized for his NFL coaching career, but he\u2019s also a husband and a father.
