Eli Manning, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the New York Giants, and his wife, Abby, are expecting a child, the New York Post reported on Friday.

The two have been married for the past two-and-a-half years and the baby, due in spring, will be their first.

“They are both so happy and excited. Eli is being very protective of Abby, as it is still early days,” a source close to the couple told the Post. “Very few people know because Abby is only a few months along and isn’t really showing yet.”

Eli, 29, and Abby, 26, met in college at the University of Mississippi, and married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in April 2008.

“We’re enjoying being married right now,” Eli said last year, according to People magazine. “There’s no exact plan, but we do plan on starting a family in the future.”
