What is Clay Matthews doing now?

Since he left the Rams, we have not heard much from him and it is difficult to figure out what he is doing right now. He led a very private life even during his NFL career.

Matthews married his long-time girlfriend, Casey Nobel, in 2015. They keep their relationship very private and away from the media.

Matthews and Nobel's marriage was also very private and only close relatives and friends were invited. It was Casey Nobel's second marriage, having previously been married to Peter Sarantos.

They have two children together, a boy and a girl. William Clay Matthews IV is the eldest and was born in 2015, and Madeline Joy Matthews was born the following year.

The kids have also been kept away from the media and not much is shared on their social media accounts.
