Tebow, who rose to fame as a Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion at the University of Florida before being drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, has been embracing life off the field since retiring from professional football in 2021. He and Demi-Leigh, a former Miss Universe from South Africa, tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Cape Town in January 2020.

Demi-Leigh, who has been open about her desire to start a family, couldn’t contain her joy either. She gushed about having Tim by her side for this new adventure:
