Tim Tebow and his wife Demi-Leigh welcomed their first child together, a daughter, on July 6, 2025. The couple shared the joyous news with their followers in an Instagram post the following day. Both Tim, 37, and Demi-Leigh, 29, expressed their overwhelming gratitude for the arrival of their little girl and the support they received during the birth.
"We couldn't be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life," the couple wrote in their heartfelt post. They also extended their thanks to the medical team who assisted with the delivery, emphasizing their appreciation for the doctor, nurses, and hospital staff. The Tebows also thanked their friend, Hannah Janoe, for capturing their precious first moments with their daughter on camera.
The couple, who announced they were expecting a baby girl in March, revealed that they will soon share their daughter's name with the public.
In an emotional caption, Demi-Leigh shared the personal and heartfelt meaning behind the names. "Daphne is a name that's been close to my heart since I was a little girl," she wrote. The name was inspired by her late great aunt, who became a grandmother figure in her life. Demi-Leigh described her aunt as a strong, loving, and gracious woman with a deep connection to faith. She fondly remembered her aunt's love of shortbread and her angelic voice, explaining that her aunt's legacy made her want to name her future daughter after her.
The second name, Reign, has a similarly significant origin. Demi-Leigh shared that it was inspired by a little girl they have loved deeply for years, whose story has shaped their hearts. The name serves as a reminder that when adopted into God's family, one becomes a child of the King—meant to live with purpose, love, and identity.
The couple's excitement was evident in their earlier announcement, where they celebrated the news with a creative gender reveal video. In the video, Tim and Demi-Leigh painted a canvas together, revealing their baby's gender by uncovering a canvas filled with pink paint. They captioned the post, "Baby Tebow is a…GIRL!" and shared how excited they were to meet their daughter.
Tim and Demi-Leigh, who married in January 2020, had previously spoken about their joy of becoming parents. "We are just so excited and so over the moon," Demi-Leigh said. The couple's bond, which began in 2018, has grown stronger over the years, and they are now ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives as parents.
