Philip Rivers and Antonio Cromartie have some competition from Shaun Alexander when it comes to kid totals, apparently.
Rivers, the longtime NFL quarterback, has 10 children with his wife, Tiffany. The happy couple welcomed their double-digit child into the world last year. The former NFL quarterback and his 10 kids – Halle, Caroline, Grace, Gunner, Sarah, Peter, Rebecca, Clare, Anna and Andrew – could make up an entire NFL offense.

Cromartie, meanwhile, has 14 children spread across multiple mothers. Back in 2010, during an episode HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the then-New York Jets star attempted to name all 8 of his children (at the time). He failed. Since then, he’s had six more children.
Those two are apparently not the only two former NFL stars with double-digit children, though.

Former NFL star Shaun Alexander, who was the MVP of the league during the 2005 season, is excited to welcome his 14th child into the world.

The former Seattle Seahawks star, who played in the league from 2000-08, making three Pro Bowls and twice leading the league in rushing, announced the cool news on Kay Adams’ show.
“Seahawks RB legend Shaun Alexander just broke the news that he & his wife Valerie are welcoming their 14th child. Congrats!” she wrote.
Earlier this year, Shaun brought some of his boys to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. But they made up less than 25 percent of his family.

Shaun and his wife, Valerie Alexander, were married in 2002. They dated for two years prior to getting married.
As of March of 2025, they had 13 kids:
1st born- Heaven Alexander 🎶 🎹 📚
2nd born-Trinity Alexander 🏃🏾♀ 👩🏾🍳 📚
3rd born-Eden Alexander 🏃🏾♀

10th born-Eternity Alexander 👧🏽
11th born-Hosanna Alexander 👧🏽
12th born-Hope Alexander 👧🏽
13th born-Judea Alexander 👧🏽
Baby No. 14 is now on the way, according to the former Seattle Seahawks star. Alexander, who played nine NFL seasons, made $34,346,649 during his career. Hopefully, he saved a lot of that money – because college for 14 children is not a small fortune, but a big one.
