Tiffany Rivers and their children
Tiffany Rivers, his wife, has been by Philip’s side since their teenage years. The couple were childhood sweethearts from Alabama and got married in 2001, right after Philip's freshman year of college.
Tiffany is known to keep a relatively low public profile, though she reportedly had worked in daycare earlier in life and later launched a Latin-inspired swimwear brand.
Together, they now have 10 children. They have seven daughters and three sons.
Their children are named in multiple reports. Here are their names and ages:
- Halle is in her early 20s
- Caroline is in her late teens
- Grace is also in her late teens
- Gunner (son) is in his mid-teens and is playing QB at high school, where Rivers coaches, according to House & Whips
- Sarah and son Peter are in their early teens
- Rebecca is a tween
- Clare is approximately 9 years old.
- Anna is the youngest daughter, who is approximately 5 or 6
- Andrew is their youngest son and 10th kid born on October 30, 2023.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Philip and Tiffany often describe their growing family as a “blessing,” and have said they did not plan a specific number of children but rather followed “what God decided.”

A home grounded in Catholic faith
Rivers and his wife have frequently spoken about their Catholic faith playing a central role in their family’s upbringing. Since both of them came from huge families, the size of their families reflects their backgrounds.
Catholic Review reported that since retirement, Philip shifted his focus to coaching at the high-school level, accepting a role at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama. He is now able to spend more time at home with Tiffany and their kids and continue to be active in football by coaching and mentoring instead of playing.
The Rivers children are involved in school, sports, and everyday life. Their oldest son, Gunner, is a standout quarterback at his high school, where he is coached by his father.
