Former NFL star Tim Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh Tebow, joined President Trump for a visit in the Oval Office on Monday. In a post on X, Margo Martin, a special assistant and communications advisor for Trump, shared a photo with the Tebows with Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to cheer on the University of Florida men's basketball team in the March Madness Final Four. 'A couple of Gators in the Oval Office,' Martin's post said. The Tebows and Rubio posed with the 'Gator Chomp' behind Trump's Resolute Desk. Nearly a year ago, Tebow, a former quarterback and Heisman trophy winner, testified before Congress to combat human trafficking and child exploitation. He joined with Republican lawmakers to announce the Renewed Hope Act of 2024. He's also worked with Homeland Security Investigations to identify and rescue child sexual abuse victims, Fox News reported. Tebow's visit comes just a day after musician Kid Rock visited the White House.

Tim Tebow, wife pay visit to Trump, fellow Florida alum Marco Rubio in Oval Office
It's a busy week for the University of Florida with its men's basketball team gearing up for the Final Four in San Antonio. And a couple of its most famous alumni paid a visit to President Donald Trump this week. Tim Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh, posed for a photo with Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio, who also attended the University of Florida, in the Oval Office. The Tebows and Rubio delivered the infamous "Gator Chomp" behind Trump. Tebow made a trip to D.C. last year to combat child exploitation. Tebow showed support for the Renewed Hope Act, which "would enhance the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's capabilities to better identify, rescue and protect victims of online child sexual exploitation and bring child exploiters to justice," according to lawmakers. Tebow, through his foundation, has worked with Homeland Security Investigations with a mission to identify and rescue victims of child sexual abuse. Tebow joined senators John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and representatives Laurel Lee, R-Fla., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., to announce the Renewed Hope Act of 2024 last year. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and his wife are expecting a baby girl later this year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
