Tim Tebow announces Miss Universe wife is pregnant
Tim Tebow has revealed that his Miss Universe wife is pregnant with the couple’s first child.
The 37-year-old college football icon and his model wife Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters announced the news Tuesday in an emotional video shared on social media.
“When I’m with her and I see the belly growing, it becomes so rich,” Tebow said PEOPLE.
“It’s just amazing how it also reprioritizes and changes what you emphasize and value most.”
His wife added, “Every time I feel like I’m saying, ‘Tim is going to be a father!’ it feels so surreal.
‘I loved being pregnant. I’ve definitely gained a new respect for moms, especially moms who work.”

The news comes months after Tebow revealed how his Florida Gators teammates taunted him over his decision to remain a virgin until marriage.
In a docuseries on Netflix, former Gators linebacker Brandon Spikes said he would often test quarterback Tebow to confirm whether he was serious about saving himself for marriage by showing him nude photos of women.
Tebow and his wife married in 2020 and will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary on January 20.
After brief stints with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, Philippines-born star Tebow was used only in the offseason or as a practice squad member by the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars before being released by the latter in 2021.
He has also dabbled 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.
