Did Peyton Manning adopt a daughter? Viral rumor debunked

Rumors of the American former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning adopting a daughter have been circulating online. Manning, who is practically part of "football royalty," got married to Ashley Manning on St. Patrick's Day, 24 years ago in 2001. The couple welcomed their two fraternal twins, Marshall Williams Manning and Mosley Thompson Manning, in March 2011.

The rumors of Manning adopting a daughter do not have any facts to back them up. The exact rumor that started the snowball of speculations is not traced, but it is believed to have begun on social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook. Clickbait stories of Peyton adding a new member to their family spread like wildfire because many did not bother checking the authenticity of the story or verifying it from trusted sources.

As of now, no reliable news outlet has reported on Peyton Manning's supposed adoption. He remains married to his wife and has successfully kept their private lives, including their two children, off the tabloids.

More details about Peyton Manning's family

Peyton "the Sheriff" Manning comes from a family of professional footballers and has often been deemed as football's "royal family". He is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Williams and Olivia née Williams. Peyton's younger brother, Eli Manning, is also a two-time Super Bowl Champion.

As for Peyton Manning's own family, he married Ashley Manning in 2001 and welcomed their two children: Marshall Williams Manning (son) and Mosely Williams Manning (daughter), who are 14 years old today.

Peyton has managed to keep his family life away from the public eye for the majority of the time. A few times, his twins were seen with their father at Peyton's retirement announcement and at the Paris Olympics in 2024 on another occasion.

Little is known about the Manning twins. Marshall has shown interest in football and might follow the footsteps of his father, uncle, and grandfather. There have been viral videos of Marshall throwing perfect passes during Pro Bowl events.

As for his sister, Mosely seems to be interested in tennis, softball, volleyball, and hosting. She is not often seen on social media, but she has the same competitive spirit when it comes to sports.

To steer clear of the rumors about Peyton Manning adopting, both Marshall and Mosely are not adopted. The twins are the NFL quarterback's biological children, and no public records suggest otherwise.
