Famous American former professional football quarterback Peyton Manning has been an open book all through his illustrious NFL career. But according to various social media accounts, he has a secret daughter, whom he has raised for over a decade without the public’s knowledge. These claims have left sporting communities questioning what they know about the NFL legend and his family. Here are the facts.
What The Rumors Say About Peyton Manning’s Secret Daughter
For a while now, several social media accounts on Facebook and TikTok have circulated reports labeled “Peyton Manning’s secret act of kindness.” Although there are varying accounts of this so-called secret act of kindness, it essentially claims that the NFL star has a daughter he’s secretly raised for many years.
The story goes that Peyton and his wife, Ashley, adopted an orphaned girl child over a decade ago after she lost her parents in a natural disaster. He reportedly raised and provided for this child, giving her the best opportunity to become a responsible adult without seeking public approval. Now the girl child is 18 and ready to take on the world.
Did Peyton Manning Adopt Any Girl Child?
As heartwarming as the story is, Peyton Manning does not have a secret daughter. The Sheriff and his wife didn’t adopt any girl child and are only biological parents. Be that as it may, the couple has been providing leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk since 1999, when they established the PeyBack Foundation.
Through the foundation, the couple helps disadvantaged youth across the United States. It is estimated that the foundation has doled out over $15 million in grants and programs designed to help children at risk grow into responsible adults. While they have actively helped disadvantaged and vulnerable children, there are no credible reports to validate the claims about adopting a daughter.
Peyton Manning Has Two Biological Kids With His Wife
The football great doesn’t have an adopted child, but he’s the biological father of two children who are fraternal twins. A decade after Peyton married his wife Ashley on March 17, 2001, the couple welcomed their twins: a daughter named Mosley Thompson Manning and her brother, Marshall Williams Manning.
Peyton and Ashley have been together for at least three decades. The NFL star was a freshman in 1994, when he met and subsequently began dating Ashley. Theirs has been a peaceful union, and according to Peyton, their kids came at the right time. The famous Indianapolis Colts quarterback shared this sentiment in a 2021 interview with WTHR.
“I think about the year they were born and all that was going on with my injuries, and it was the ultimate blessing in disguise,” he told the network. “They came into my life at the time I needed them the most,” added the father of two.
