Eli Manning shared a rare photo with all four of his children during a shoreline outing, according to a May 20, 2025 report by PEOPLE, republished by AOL. The image shows Manning with Ava, Lucy, Caroline and Charles on a wooden walkway; the report says Ava, then 14, stood almost as tall as her father.
Who is in Eli Manning’s family photo?
The May 2025 report identifies Manning’s children as Ava, Lucy, Caroline and Charles. At the time of publication, it gave their ages as 14, 11, 10 and 7, respectively. Those are publication-date ages, not current ages. AOL’s May 20, 2025 report attributes the photo to Manning’s Instagram.
The report describes Manning holding Charles on a wooden walkway, with his three daughters gathered in front of him. Ava stood beside one of her sisters, nearly matching her father’s height. The girls wore white dresses with purple flowers, while Manning wore a pink-and-white striped shirt. The scene was described as being by the shore.
What did Manning write in the caption?
The report quoted Manning’s caption: “I think family is just knowing that you always have people in your life that will love you and support you through all stages of your life, through all the ups and downs that might occur.” He credited the passage to Father and Child by Claiborne Swanson Frank.

In a separate January 2023 interview with Good Morning America, Manning said, “I want my kids to be kids and be well-behaved, but also there’s a time [to] let them go out and have fun and enjoy experiences.” He also joked, “I’ll take all four kids out and about. I’m fine with the chaos.” These comments came in a different context from the shoreline photo.
