ESPN has reported that Peyton Manning, the legendary former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer, is set to celebrate a major milestone in his personal life. On August 1, 2025, Peyton and his wife, Ashley Manning, will mark their 25th wedding anniversary — a remarkable quarter-century of marriage filled with love, family, and shared success.
Peyton and Ashley were married on August 1, 2000, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family. Since then, the couple has maintained a relatively low profile off the field, choosing to focus on raising their children and supporting a wide range of philanthropic causes. Over the years, they have become known not only for their strong bond as a couple but also for their dedication to their community and shared values.
Ashley Manning, a successful businesswoman and philanthropist in her own right, has played a major role in Peyton’s life — both during his college football days at Tennessee and throughout his illustrious NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. Friends and family have often described their relationship as a true partnership built on mutual respect and unwavering support.
ESPN highlighted how the Mannings’ marriage has been a quiet constant in Peyton’s high-profile life. Through the highs of winning Super Bowl titles and the pressures of media attention, Peyton has always spoken of Ashley as his rock and most trusted confidante. “She’s my best friend and my greatest supporter,” Manning once said in a past interview. “Everything I’ve achieved, she’s been right there beside me.”
In addition to celebrating their anniversary, the couple is also expected to host a small family gathering to honor the occasion. While the Mannings prefer to keep their private life away from the spotlight, ESPN noted that Peyton’s Tennessee roots and Southern values are at the heart of the way he approaches both family and fame.
As Peyton continues to work with ESPN and Omaha Productions, his media company, fans can expect to see more of the legendary quarterback on screen — but his most cherished role remains that of husband and father. The Mannings have twins, a boy and a girl, and have built a family life centered around faith, humility, and generosity.
The upcoming 25th anniversary is not just a celebration of a lasting marriage, but also a testament to the character and values that have made Peyton Manning a respected figure both on and off the field. As ESPN put it: “He may have been the general on the gridiron, but at home, he’s always been a family man first.”
Happy early anniversary to Peyton and Ashley Manning — a couple whose love story is as enduring as Peyton’s football legacy.
