How are Philip and Tiffany Rivers raising their children?

Philip and Tiffany have been high-school as well as middle-school sweethearts. Rivers went to North Carolina State one year ahead of Tiffany, and the pair got married right after the quarterback's freshman year. They had their eldest child, Halle (21), while still at University.


According to Rivers, when he was playing in the NFL, he had two distinct seasons as to when and how he interacted with his kids - football season and the offseason. Apparently, he picked the kids up from school during the offseason and took them to Little League practice. The focus shifted in the offseason. Rivers even tried to spend time with his kids when he could during the season. When he played on Sunday, he ate dinner with his family on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. He also read books to them or played with them in the yard. Monday is football night, which is another night that's important in the Rivers household.


They all gather around the TV with their plate of food to watch "Monday Night Football". The kids also tend to help Rivers to put things into perspective after a bad day at the office. Rivers' son Gunner (whose first name is also Philip), has said in an interview previously that he sits with his dad before games and talks about what the game plan is, and later discusses the game's big plays.


Rivers and his now three sons are still outnumbered with seven girls and Tiffany in the house, and that lopsided number won't flip even if there are to be more kids. Rivers is happy and content with just the way things are, and acknowledges the fact that all of them are awesome in their own unique way.


What do Philip Rivers' kids do?

Philip Rivers’ eldest is his daughter Halle, 21 years old and is in college. She plays tennis and loves to read. His second oldest is Caroline is 18 years old and is in high school. She plays basketball.

Grace is 17 years old and 3rd in line. She is into tennis and basketball like her sisters. Gunner is the first boy of the pack and is 15 years old. He plays all kinds of sports he can get his hands on and has the same weird throwing motion as his dad.

His middle child Sarah is 14 years old. She started swimming when the family moved to Indianapolis and even won a medal in a meet. Peter, his 6th kid, is 13 years old and loves baseball and golf, likes the outdoors, loves hunting and fishing, and throwing a slingshot in the yard.

Rebecca, 10 is sweet and strong-willed. She tends to make sure things get fixed and gets them fixed soon. Clare was born on the same day as Rebecca, only two years later, and follows in her sister’s footsteps. According to Rivers, she has remarkable athleticism running through her veins and has only done gymnastics to this point.

Anna is 4 years old and was the baby of the house until her little brother Andrew arrived in 2023. She couldn’t walk until 16 months old and is into books. Andrew, the newborn is just about 4 months old.


What does Tiffany Rivers do for a living?

Tiffany has a swimwear line called Hermoza, along with running the household and managing her children. Tiffany and Philip also had a foundation called Rivers of Hope back in 2009 which aimed to find families for orphans up to the age of twelve. They used to organize a fun run every year to support their foundation.


However, as of 2012 the foundation no longer exists, and they also stopped organizing the 5K run. Later in 2019, Tiffany along with her husband, announced the launch of a campaign named 'Change the Game' which aims at raising funds and awareness for Type 1 Diabetes. The campaign works in line with her swimwear brand Hermoza, which she co-founded with her partner Marissa DeLecce.
