Football star turned motivational speaker Tim Tebow and his wife, former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow, just added a new title to their already impressive resumes: parents.
The couple announced the arrival of their first child together with a black-and-white hospital photo shoot shared to Instagram on Monday and the heartfelt post had fans reaching for tissues.
Our Daughter Is Here!”
Tebow, 37, and Demi-Leigh, 28, looked overjoyed as they cradled their newborn daughter in the emotional snapshots. Alongside the photos, they shared a message full of gratitude, faith, and love.“We couldn’t be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life,” they wrote. “Thank you to everyone who’s been praying with us over her arrival.”
Thank you to everyone who’s been praying with us over her arrival. We are so incredibly thankful for all of the love and support we’ve felt.
‘We can’t wait to share her name with you soon’.
However, it didn’t take long for that announcement. Just hours later, the couple returned to Instagram to share a joint post which revealed their daughter’s name.
The post read: ‘Meet our daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow.
‘Daphne is a name that’s been close to my heart since I was a little girl. I never got to meet my mom’s mother, but her sister, Daphne, stepped in as a grandma figure to me.
‘And Reign… it’s a name that holds so much meaning. But more than anything, her name reminds us that when you’re adopted into God’s family, you become a child of the King. You were made to rule and reign—not in power, but in purpose, love, and identity.
‘So here she is — our daughter. Our answered prayer. Daphne Reign Tebow — created in the image of God. Royalty as His princess. Our biggest prayer over her is to reign in God’s purpose for her life’.
The couple first announced the news that they were expecting a child back in January in a joint Instagram post.
The couple later revealed that they had named their daughter Daphne Reign
The birth of their daughter comes five years after the couple got married
At the time, the couple wrote: ‘We’re over the moon to step into parenthood together’.
Tebow and wife married in 2020 and are celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary on January 20.
After brief stints with Denver Broncos and New York Jets, the Philippines-born star Tebow was only used in the offseason or as a practice squad member by New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars before being released by the latter in 2021.
He has also tried his hand in professional baseball in recent years, signing a minor league baseball contract with the New York Mets in 2016 and playing outfield for the organization for five years.
