Relationship with Eli Manning

Abby McGrew and Eli Manning began dating during their college years at the University of Mississippi. Their relationship gained public attention in 2007 when Eli proposed to Abby. The proposal was a private yet romantic gesture—Eli had a custom engagement ring designed at Adler’s and proposed during an evening at home, rather than waiting for a planned trip to Nashville as many expected. Abby accepted, and the couple married on April 19, 2008, in a private ceremony held in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The wedding followed shortly after Manning led the New York Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLII and earned MVP honors.

Family Life

Abby and Eli Manning have three daughters. Their first child, Ava Frances, was born on March 26, 2011. Lucy Thomas, their second daughter, was born on June 17, 2013, and their youngest, Caroline Olivia, was born on January 29, 2015. The couple values privacy, often limiting public disclosures about their family life. When Caroline was born, the Mannings had only just publicly confirmed their pregnancy, surprising fans with the swift birth announcement.
