Former NFL star Tim Tebow and wife Demi-Leigh welcome their first child
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.

Child neglect in Scotland is an epidemic and we need to talk about it

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Demi-Leigh had 14 teeth removed, some still her baby milk teeth, under general anaesthetic. Her mum had mental health problems and addiction issues and her stepdad was in prison. There was no one to ensure she had a clean toothbrush and toothpaste, much less a bedtime routine, and this was the inevitable consequence. She was eight. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Taylor's mum and dad kept a Rottweiler in a cage in the living room. There was a crossbow in the bedroom, ostensibly by way of protection, because his home was the local drug den. The dog was regularly fed; Taylor was not. Drugs were within his reach in the fridge, food was not. At the age of 10 he was barely attending school, instead spending most of his time in unimaginably filthy conditions in the family flat. Richie, five, was so obese he was unable to toilet on his own and none of his primary one peers would spend time with him. His isolation manifested itself in a violent, biting temper. The violent, biting temper made him more isolated in turn. I have, of course, changed names to protect their identities but Demi-Leigh and Taylor and Richie's stories will be achingly familiar to anyone who sits on the children's panel or works in a school or in a social work department or a hospital or anywhere else young people are. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad These children and thousands like them are victims of a great many things, the chief of which is neglect. Child neglect in Scotland is an epidemic. It ruins childhoods and has serious knock-on effects on wider society and future generations. Yet we don't really talk about child neglect in any coordinated way, despite the efforts of social work experts and academics like, say, Edinburgh University's Brigid Daniel who has been talking about the effect of chronic neglect for decades. And we should talk about it. You might think this would be obvious in and of itself, but if you want to reduce such a thing as childhood to the practicalities of pounds and pence then it makes eminent good sense to tackle neglect at root. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Young people who are well supported flourish. They make a meaningful contribution to society and they fail to trouble the justice system. They are not a burden on the taxpayer but become a fiscal benefit to the state. This week there has been politicking about the will we/won't we matter of holding a public inquiry into child grooming gangs. Keir Starmer sent Baroness Louise Casey to carry out a review into abuse perpetrated by grooming gangs in England and Wales. Starmer has previously said he does not believe a public inquiry into the issue would be worthwhile but has now altered that position in light of Casey's findings. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad His change of heart has caused him problems. He has been accused of u-turning, which is never politically expedient. The opposition is having a field day, saying Labour is failing to tackle the gangs of men who are ruining the lives of girls and young women. Starmer has been accused - again - of merely following where Nigel Farage's Reform UK has first led. And another issue has arisen - should Scotland be included in any grooming gangs inquiry or, if not, should it hold its own? There has been an unedifying spat over the issue between the Labour MP Joani Reid and the SNP's Pete Wishart. Reid, MP for East Kilbride and Strathaven, said it was vital there is a grooming gangs enquiry in Scotland, despite having voted against an inquiry being set up just five months ago. In response to Wishart's allegations of hypocrisy, Reid said her decision to vote against the founding of an inquiry was in response to a Tory amendment to Labour's Children and Wellbeing Bill. Reid was one of 350 Labour MPs who voted down that amendment on January 8 this year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This kind of tit-for-tat helps no one and distracts from the fact the situation in Scotland differs from that of England. In England, eyes were averted from the abuse of young girls by Asian grooming gangs because of both a squeamishness in institutions afraid to be accused of racism and because of institutional misogyny that blamed victims for their own abuse. Girls in Scotland are being exploited, just as they are in England, but there is no real suggestion that organised rape circles are being ignored by officials. We have a judicial system that deals with grooming gangs and child rapists. We also already have an abuse inquiry ongoing now. The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry was set up 10 years ago, has cost millions of pounds and will cost millions more. Reid criticised the Scottish inquiry as being too limited in scope as it only considers children in care. She is only partially right - the definition of 'care' here is extremely wide-ranging. It includes children in, say, hospital or children in fee-paying boarding schools. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It would be possible to expand the inquiry to look for evidence of mass child grooming of the type in England, rather than setting up a new system. The problem with such a long-running and costly inquiry is that the can is kicked down the road, any recommendations are a long time coming and when they do come they are not implemented. Organised child abuse is abhorrent but we should trust the justice system to deal with it. During the Covid-19 lockdown children were returned from foster placements to known situations of family neglect because there was nowhere else to put them, for example. Social workers were unable to enter homes to carry out welfare checks. There are all sorts of knock-on effects from these elements of covid that are being quietly overlooked. What we don't know is the full scale of the devastating impact of child neglect, particularly post-pandemic.

Tim Tebow teases 1st baby's gender with black-and-white photos before making big announcement
The Tebows know how to keep things interesting. Former college star and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh, announced earlier this year that they are expecting their first child; the couple wed in 2020. With their baby due soon, it was time to find out the child's gender, but not before teasing themselves and their Instagram followers first. The couple posted six photos, all in black-and-white, earlier this week on Instagram of their reveal to themselves in which they painted on a canvas blindfolded. They then posted the video of their reactions earlier Wednesday, revealing their baby's gender to the world. "Our greatest blessing. We've been praying for her long before we knew her, and we're beyond grateful that God chose us to be her parents. We can't wait to meet you, baby girl!" the couple wrote. "To create a meaningful piece of art for the nursery, we decided to find out the gender through painting! We chose two Bible verses—one for a boy and one for a girl—to add to the canvas once it was complete. The verse we want to speak over our baby girl is Psalm 25:4-5: 'Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.' We pray that she always finds her identity in Christ and places her hope in His love and truth. "Now, let's get this nursery in order! Bring on the pink bows, ruffles, and all things sweet." The husband and wife both accurately predicted girl, as well. "We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together," Demi-Leigh told People Magazine in an interview published in January. "I'm so grateful because I just couldn't imagine a better life partner to do life with first and foremost," she added. "To be able to raise a little tiny human being together. I'm so grateful that Tim is my husband... that we get to do parenting together." Demi-Leigh said at the time she was 16 weeks pregnant, which brings us to a summer baby.
