His older brother might have earned more of a fan following, but Eli Manning still ranks highly in most football fans' books. But while many athletes' personal lives are in the media often, Eli's not one to make a lot of waves, or drama of any kind.

Which leads fans to wonder just what his home life is like. He's been fairly quiet about his relationship (and his kids), but Eli Manning has been married for more than a decade already. So who is Eli Manning's wife, and what does she do?

Who Married Eli Manning?

Back in 2008, Eli Manning got married. But he wasn't wedding some big-name celebrity or anyone from the sports industry. Instead, he married his college sweetheart, whom he attended the University of Mississippi with.

When the couple got married, their nuptials made headlines, sure. But they kept the ceremony private and low-key, even though the event was a destination wedding that likely cost them a pretty penny.

They were wed at a resort in Los Cabos, Mexico, in a gorgeous ceremony that included only close friends and family. The festivities included plenty of great food and drink, but also, notably, a giant cake in the shape of Eli's Super Bowl ring. There were even small chocolate rings for all the guests, My New Orleans reported at the time.

But just who is Eli Manning's wife, and what is she up to these days?

Eli's wife is a surprisingly non-famous woman named Abby McGrew, and today, they share a home in New Jersey and have a house full of kids.

How Old Is Abby McGrew?

Although Eli and Abby reportedly met at college, they're not the same age. While Eli is 40 years old now (he was born in 1981), his wife is a little bit younger. Still, their age gap is nothing like the average Hollywood span, like other high-profile couples.

Eli and Abby are only about three years apart; McGrew Manning is 37 now, with a birth year of 1984. That seems to mean that the college lovebirds were a few course levels apart (she was a freshman when he was a junior) but close enough that they might've had classes together.

They dated for about five years before getting engaged, then waited another year to get married.

How Many Children Does The Manning Family Have?

Eli Manning and his wife have four children together; three girls and one boy. Clearly, they're all football fans, just like their uncles (yes, there's another Manning apart from Peyton; Cooper, their eldest brother).

Abby and Eli's eldest child is their daughter Ava, born in 2011. Then in 2013 came Lucy, and Caroline in 2015, then finally Charles in 2019.

What Does Abby McGrew Do?

She did attend college and earned a degree in family and consumer sciences, but Abby McGrew didn't exactly follow a prescribed career path out of college. Instead, she became a designer, debuting in New York City on the fashion scene.

But afterward, she wed Eli, had a handful of children, and embarked on philanthropic work. In fact, most sources state that her career as "philanthropist" which, while true, doesn't allude to her past as a designer at all.

Over the years, Abby has volunteered with various charities and philanthropic endeavors, and she and Eli also volunteered and raised funds and donations for families after Hurricane Katrina.

Now that Eli Manning is retired, neither he nor his wife is likely doing a lot of "work." But that doesn't mean they aren't staying busy with their charitable activities and, of course, raising their kids.

Does Abby McGrew Have Social Media?

As of 2021, Abby McGrew doesn't appear to have any social media accounts. If she does have any social handles, they're kept on the DL and only shared with friends and family.

But even her husband is social media-averse, with apparently only Twitter to his name. But Eli's social media does reveal a bit about his marriage and his wife.

For one thing, the couple won the 'Consolation' bracket of their tennis match, which Eli joked about on Twitter. But there's another tidbit about Abby; she apparently plays tennis (though not well?).

In fact, Eli's pretty hilarious on Twitter, even with his oversharing (like joking he was going to feed his son Charlie a blue muffin and "see how [Abby] responds when she changes his diaper").

Given Manning's antics, it's clear that Abby McGrew has a decent sense of humor, otherwise, their marriage wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. After all, being married to a famous football player can't be easy, but Abby's making it work.
