Tiffany is awesome,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s the first child or the 10th child. It\u2019s an awesome miracle every time. Everyone is home now, and everyone is good.\u201d He also explained that both of his parents were born into large families; his mother and his father were each one of nine children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought we would be the third generation of nine, but we decided to go double digits \u2013 or I should say we didn\u2019t decide it.

Even in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colts.com\/news\/retirement-philip-rivers-statement-17-nfl-seasons-san-diego-chargers-2020-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retirement statement<\/a>, he honored his faith; Rivers is known to be a devout Catholic. &#8220;Every year, January 20th is a special and emotional day. It is St. Sebastian&#8217;s Feast day, the day I played in the AFC championship without an ACL, and now the day that after 17 seasons, I&#8217;m announcing my retirement from the National Football League,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;Thank you, God, for allowing me to live out my childhood dream of playing quarterback in the NFL.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his large family, Rivers has been an outspoken advocate for both foster children and the preborn. He previously ran a charity, the Rivers of Hope Foundation, which helped to lend support to foster families. \u201cIf we can get one child with a forever family, it\u2019s worth it,\u201d he said in a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nfl-quarterback-philip-rivers-welcomes-ninth-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celebrate Life interview<\/a>. \u201cEvery life is precious.
