Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took Drake’s song “Hold On, We’re Going Home” to a new level when he purchased two Los Angeles homes from the hip-hop megastar for $11 million.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Stafford and his wife, Kelly, purchased the two adjacent homes for $5 million and $6 million, respectively, which was over the $7.4 million asking price for the 3.6-acre parcels of property in a celebrity-filled area of the San Fernando Valley Region of L.A. The Staffords also purchased a 15,000-square-foot home in the same area for $19.6 million last summer.
According to the real estate listing from the Beverly Hills Estates real estate company, one of the properties is a 3,600-square-foot home with a pizza oven, five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a heated pool. It also has an 800-square-foot guest house. The second property has a brick fireplace and a private horse trail.
Early this year, Drake listed 3 side-by-side LA properties for $22.5 million.

Since being traded from the Detroit Lions to the Rams in March 2021, it has been a nice year for Stafford. He threw for 4,886 yards and had 41 touchdown passes last season. In leading the Rams to a 23-20 Super Bowl LVI win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Stafford was 26-of-40 for 283 yards and three scores, including a late, game-winning TD to Cooper Kupp. On March 19, Stafford signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Rams.
Since his arrival in Los Angeles, Stafford has purchased three homes in the celebrity-filled Hidden Hills area and has signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Rams.
After the trade was finalized, sending him from Detroit to Los Angeles, the Staffords sold their Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, lakefront home for $6.5 million. They now have three California properties and are continuing the outstanding year Stafford has had both on and off the field.
