Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers and wife Tiffany Rivers have welcomed their tenth child, son Andrew.

According to the outlet, Andrew arrived on October 30, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces. The couple also share sons Gunner, 15, and Peter, 13, and daughters Halle, 21, Caroline, 18, Grace, 17, Sarah, 14, Rebecca, 10, Clare, 8, and Anna, 4.
“We thought we would be the third generation of nine, but we decided to go double-digits – or I should say we didn’t decide it. God decided,” Philip quipped of his growing brood, noting that both his parents come from a family of nine children.
