Peyton Manning was quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos before retiring in 2016. His loving wife, Ashley, has been with him throughout his NFL career.
Throughout his long career, one person never left Manning’s side: Ashley Thompson, whom he met the summer before his first year at the University of Tennessee. Manning played for Tennessee from 1994 to 1997 and led the Volunteers to the 1997 Southeastern Conference championship.
The couple got married in March 2001 and welcomed several children in the years afterward.
The legendary NFL quarterback has loved every moment of being with his wife.
A few years ago, Peyton Manning would take to his Instagram story and share a spicy bikini picture of his wife to show that she was aging like fine wine.

Ashley is not just Peyton’s wife; she was already established in the business world in 1997. The University of Virginia graduated with a major in Finance and Marketing in 1997.
Her involvement in the real estate development business and owning a real estate company of her own has added a lot to her net worth.
