The life of Philip Rivers — one of the NFL’s most durable and prolific quarterbacks — goes far beyond the football field. From a lengthy NFL career to coaching high school football and raising a large family, his story is as much about values, faith and family-first priorities as it is about stats and touchdowns. Here’s an up-to-date look at his family and life.
Family & Kids: Who Are Philip Rivers’ Children
As of late 2023 and beyond, Philip Rivers and his wife Tiffany Rivers are parents to ten children — a large brood of seven daughters and three sons.
Here are the children’s names and approximate ages (as commonly reported), from oldest to youngest:
-
Halle — oldest daughter, born July 6, 2002. As of 2025, she is about 23.

-
Anna — daughter, born March 26, 2019.
-
Andrew — youngest son, born October 30, 2023.
The Rivers children span a wide age range — from toddler and elementary ages to young adults — making the family household lively and diverse.
Oldest Daughter & College Life
The eldest of the Rivers children, Halle, was born in July 2002 — which means she came into the world while Philip and Tiffany were still in college.
-
Halle has often been described by her father as the one who reminds him most of Tiffany — a compliment from a proud dad.
-
Her interests reportedly include tennis and reading.
-
Growing up with a famous NFL father, she’s referred to how “normal” it felt, given that she “has known her dad as a public figure for as long as she can remember.”
Her early entry into adulthood and college — coming from a busy, football-filled upbringing — highlights how the Rivers family balances public life with home values: despite the spotlight, family and parenting come first.
Retirement, Coaching & Life After NFL
-
Philip officially retired from the NFL in 2021 after an illustrious career spanning 17 seasons — 16 with the Los Angeles Chargers (formerly San Diego) and one final season with the Indianapolis Colts.
-
After retirement, he transitioned into coaching — taking a position as head coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama.
-
In 2025, there are reports suggesting a possible return to the NFL — with the Colts reportedly inviting him to a workout.
Even in retirement and potential comeback talks, Rivers seems deeply committed to family and coaching, balancing football ambitions with parenthood and home life.
Life, Legacy & Family Values
For Philip and Tiffany, family has always been central. In interviews, they often stress the importance of being “present” — not just physically, but emotionally. Even with a busy NFL schedule, Philip made time, returning home whenever possible, making sure to spend time with his kids.
Raising ten children, with ages ranging across more than two decades, requires patience, structure and a shared sense of values. From sports to academics to faith (they have spoken about their Catholic upbringing), the Rivers household reflects a reality that blends modesty, strong family bonds, and public life.
