Tim Tebow and wife Demi-Leigh Tebow are expecting their first baby.
“Baby Tebow 🤍,” the couple captioned an Instagram Reel on Tuesday, January 14, announcing Demi-Leigh’s pregnancy. The twosome revealed that their little one is due this summer.
In the video, the former NFL quarterback, 37, gave his wife a kiss before unveiling a sonogram of their baby to the camera. Demi-Leigh, who is 16 weeks pregnant, glowed in the maternity photo shoot, wearing a form-fitting white dress that showed off her growing baby bump.
“We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together,” Demi-Leigh, 29, told People on Tuesday. “I feel like every time I say, ‘Tim’s going to be a dad!’ it feels so surreal.”
Tim Tebow and wife Demi-Leigh Tebow have been happily married for four years now, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t face challenges early in their romance. Demi-Leigh, 29, exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that she and the retired quarterback, 36, had to overcome a “language barrier” when they first met. “Loving […]
Tim, meanwhile, said he is “honored for the privilege of getting the responsibility and the joy of being mom and dad.”
The couple shared their pregnancy news ahead of their five-year wedding anniversary. Tim and Demi-Leigh tied the knot in Cape Town, South Africa, on January 20, 2020, after a yearlong engagement.
The retired football player met his now-wife in 2018 at the Tim Tebow Foundation’s annual event Night to Shine, which is a prom for people with special needs.
Between his time in the NFL and playing minor league baseball and his stint as a sports broadcaster on ESPN, Tim Tebow has really done it all. The athlete started out as a star football player at the University of Florida, where he played under coach Urban Meyer. After a successful collegiate career, Tebow was […]
“Demi had a little sister with severe special needs. [She] was kind of our matchmaker,” Tim exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of Demi-Leigh’s sister Franje, who had cerebellar agenesis and died in May 2019. “Demi and her family were invited [to Night of Shine], but unfortunately her sister was too sick to go. But through that, we connected and never stopped talking.”
While the pair felt an instant connection, Demi-Leigh confessed to Us in August 2024 that there was a “language barrier” when they began dating.
“Loving in a second language is different,” Demi-Leigh explained, asking her husband, “Remember the first time after our first date, I told you, ‘Keep well,’ and you thought I was dismissing you?”
Tim recalled the moment, telling Us, “Her first language is Afrikaans, not English,” since Demi-Leigh is from South Africa.
“I was like, ‘Keep well? … I don’t know if I’m going to see you again!’” he laughed of their initial exchanges.
These celebrity moms welcomed rainbow babies to their families after suffering miscarriages. Nicole Kidman shared the “massive grief” that she felt after miscarrying in her Tatler magazine cover story in 2018. The actress was married to Tom Cruise when she had an ectopic pregnancy, which means that her fertilized egg was implanted outside of the […]
Despite their communication barriers, the duo said “I do” in 2020 and were quickly asked when they planned to expand their family.
“I don’t know if we’re running the four-minute offense or we’re playing defense,” Tim told Extra in November 2020. “We’re trying to figure out what’s next for us.”
Tim noted that both he and the former Miss Universe “definitely want” children and were “excited for when it’s just the right time” to become parents.
