The New York Giants' star quarterback, 32-year-old Eli Manning, is set to welcome his second child with his wife, Abby, in June. His daughter, Ava Frances, turns two today and the couple is not planning on stopping at two kids. Married for five years now, Eli and Abby hope to add more children to their family down the line. Though his family is growing, this week he is still worried about his team losing a key member: Victor Cruz.

At the Samsung TV 2013 Launch event this Wednesday, Manning told Us Weekly of the new baby news. "She's due in June," he said. "We're all very excited."

This new baby will be the younger sibling of Eli and Abby's daughter, Ava, who is celebrating her birthday today. According to Manning, Ava "loves to watch "Dora the Explorer" and is "talking a lot." "Well, it's her birthday [Thursday]!" the football player said. "We're doing a party Easter weekend. We have all our family in town and do a little party."

Eli's older brother Peyton and his wife Ashley welcomed twins just days after Ava's birth, so it looks like this new addition in June will add to a growing family of toddlers.

Eli Manning Wants Victor Cruz Back

Despite his happy home front, there is plenty of drama surrounding Eli's other family, the New York Giants. Manning reportedly "checks the papers" every morning to see if his teammate, Victor Cruise, has signed on with the Giants again.

At this point, Manning is willing to "restructure" his contract in order to lock down Cruz for a long-term deal with the Giants. Co-owner John Mara insists that there is a "limit" to how much the team is willing to spend on the receiver.

Manning has made his feelings about Cruz pretty clear this week: "Obviously, I want Victor back with the Giants."
