The former NFL star, 41, announced that he and his beloved wife, Tiffany, welcomed their 10th child together, a son named Andrew, earlier this month in an interview with AL.com.
The athlete said that they welcomed their son Andrew Joseph Rivers on Monday, Oct. 30, weighing 8 lbs., 10 oz. and measuring 22 in.
Rivers gushed to the outlet,
“It’s awesome. Tiffany is awesome,”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s the first child or the 10th child. It’s an awesome miracle every time. Everyone is home now, and everyone is good.”

The proud dad joked,
“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,”
“I’ll be 60 when this one (Andrew) has his Senior Night.”

Philip River’s NFL career in short
The St. Michael Catholic High football coach announced he would be retiring from the NFL in 2021 by releasing a statement shared by the Indianapolis Colts. He played for the team in his final season.
The statement read,
“Every year, January 20th is a special and emotional day. It is St. Sebastian’s Feast day, the day I played in the AFC championship without an ACL, and now the day that after 17 seasons, I’m announcing my retirement from the National Football League,”
“Thank you, God, for allowing me to live out my childhood dream of playing quarterback in the NFL.”
The statement continued,
“I am grateful to the Chargers for 16 seasons and the Colts for the 17th season,”
“Thank you to all my coaches that helped me grow as a player and person.”
His retirement came after he passed for more than 63,000 yards. Philips was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection who started his career with the Chargers in 2004 and ended it with one season as the Colts’ quarterback in 2020.
After retirement, Rivers followed in his father’s footsteps who was also a high school football coach.
He said,
“I think I would have gone right into it had that been what I wanted to do,”
“But, really, I’ve longed to coach my boys and these other 15-18 year-old boys since I was 25. I’m good right here.”
