Philip Rivers is now a father of ten children!
In an interview with AL.com earlier this month, the former NFL player, 41, said that he and his wife, Tiffany, had welcomed their tenth child, a son.
Andrew Joseph Rivers, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 22 inches, was born to the couple on Monday, Oct. 30.
“It’s fantastic. Tiffany is fantastic,” Rivers told the publication. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s the first or the tenth child. Every time, it’s an amazing miracle. Everyone has returned home, and everyone is fine.”
Rivers has seven daughters and three sons ranging in age from 5 to 21. Andrew, Anna, 4, Clare, 8, Rebecca, 10, Peter, 13, Sarah, 14, Gunner, 15, Grace, 17, Caroline, 18, and Halle, 21, are the couple’s children.
Gunner Rivers, Rivers’ oldest son, is the starting quarterback for St. Michael Catholic High School this season, where Rivers has served as coach since his NFL retirement.

“There is a chance for a Rivers to be throwing it around or catching it or tackling or doing something for the Cardinals for a long time,” Rivers said with a laugh. “I’ll be 60 when this one (Andrew) has his Senior Night.”Rivers announced his retirement from the NFL in 2021 in a statement released by the Indianapolis Colts, the team for which he played his final season.
“January 20th is a special and emotional day every year.” “It’s St. Sebastian’s Day, the day I played in the AFC championship without an ACL, and now the day I’m announcing my retirement from the National Football League after 17 seasons,” the statement stated. “Thank you, God, for allowing me to live out my childhood dream of playing quarterback in the NFL.”
“I am grateful to the Chargers for 16 seasons and to the Colts for the 17th season,” the message said. “Thank you to all my coaches that helped me grow as a player and person.”
