It’s family first for Philip Rivers and his wife, Tiffany.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback and his high school sweetheart — who have been married for 19 years — are the parents of nine children, but they don’t have a number on how many kids could be added to their brood.

“I think really, it was just whatever God’s will was,” Rivers told the Indy Star in September. “We were just open. Certainly didn’t have a number on it. Still don’t.”

With Rivers’ football journey taking him to a new team this year, following 16 seasons with the Chargers, the 38-year-old quarterback is grateful to lean on “the heart” of his family through it all.

Rivers knew Tiffany was special from the start

A devout Catholic, Rivers previously spoke about what drew him to Tiffany.

“With Tiffany, I remember pointing her out at a ballgame at the ball field when I was young, but I remember telling my mom, ‘Hey mom, see that girl over there, she’s a good girl.’ And she was centered on faith and Christ. She had those values that I was looking for,” Rivers said in a 2016 video for The Chastity Project.

“That’s why it’s so important to find the people in your life that bring out the best in you that continue to mold you and help you be the person you want to be,” he continued.

The couple tied the knot in 2001 after his freshman year of college at NC State. Three years later, he signed with the then-San Diego Chargers.

Their children are everything

The NFL makes up a major part of Rivers’ life, but Tiffany and their nine children are forever the priority.

“One in college, one in high school, and then an eighth-grader, sixth-grader, fifth-grader, third-grader, first-grader, preschooler, the little baby, the dynamics are different with all of them,” Rivers said of his kids this fall. “They’re all awesome in their own unique way.”

Rivers and Tiffany have seven daughters: Halle, 18, Caroline, 15, Grace, 14, Sarah, 10, Rebecca, 6, Clare, 4, and 1-year-old Anna. They also have two sons: Gunner, 12, and River, 8.

Halle, according to Rivers, is most like Tiffany.

“She reminds me, big-time, of her mom, which is a big compliment,” Rivers told the Indy Star. “The biggest compliment I can probably give.”

Family time was amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic

In June of this year, the Rivers family relocated from Florida to Indianapolis, the home of the quarterback’s new club. Rivers told Sports Illustrated’s Fan Nation in July that he was savoring time at home with loved ones.

“As you can imagine, that’s a lot of us at home all the time,” Rivers told the outlet. “It’s been awesome. It really has. It’s been really good. Our children can’t use the excuse that they’re bored. There’s plenty of playmates in the house.”
