MANHATTAN — Giants quarterback Eli Manning became a dad on Monday after his wife, Abby McGrew Manning, 26, had a baby girl, ESPN.com reported.
"The Manning family grows by one: Congrats to Eli & Abby Manning on Monday birth of a daughter, Ava Frances, 7 lbs, 4 oz. Their first child," tweeted ESPN analyst Chris Mortensen Thursday.
Manning met his wife while they were both at the University of Mississippi. They got married in 2008.
