Well, it’s official: Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh Tebow have entered the parenting game! They welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on July 6, 2025. They even shared this exciting news on Instagram the next day. “Our daughter is here! We couldn’t be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life,” they wrote, sharing adorable newborn photos. After that the couple revealed her name: Daphne Reign Tebow. A name rich with personal meaning and symbolism. Now, just two weeks into this new chapter of life, they shared a joyful life update as new parents.
Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh infuse deep meaning into every aspect of their lives, even to the smallest details of their daughter’s name. Demi-Leigh reveals the touching significance behind “Daphne”: “It’s a name that’s been close to my heart since I was a little girl.” Though she never knew her maternal grandmother, her great aunt Daphne filled that role. “A tiny, kind, and strong South African woman,” Demi-Leigh recalls, explaining she always planned to name a daughter after her. When she shared her idea with Tim shortly after their wedding, he immediately embraced it.
Now, Tim and Demi-Leigh are joyfully embracing this new chapter together. On July 21st, 2025, Tim Tebow shared a heartwarming Instagram reel featuring their precious daughter. This offered sweet glimpses into their journey as new parents. Whether cuddling her or simply watching her sleep, it was evident that their world now revolved around her. They aptly chose the song, “These Are the Days” by Cory Ashbury to accompany the reel. The caption perfectly summed it up: “2 weeks with our girl, and every little moment reminds me of God’s perfect love and faithfulness. ”
Today, Tim Tebow might be a proud dad, but his own arrival was nothing short of a miracle. After moving to the Philippines in 1985 to do missionary work, his mother, Pam Tebow got amoebic dysentery from unclean water. The illness put her in a coma, and during her recovery, doctors found out she was pregnant. But it wasn’t happy news for them, as medications caused a placental abruption, making it a very risky condition. The worst part? Medical professionals advised her to end the pregnancy.
Despite that, Pam followed her instincts and chose to continue her pregnancy. Even her husband, Bob Tebow, backed her completely, turning to prayer when they were afraid. Then after months of perseverance, Pam delivered her miracle baby, Tim Tebow, on August 14, 1987, in Manila. Her decision didn’t just save a life, it also shaped one. Against all the odds, Tim arrived as a living example of faith, determination, and purpose. That faith now fuels Time Tebow’s life.
Time Tebow’s life after the NFL
Look, Tim Tebow understands the rapid pace of life’s changes. Following a 6-year break from football, he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars, eager to reconnect with his former college coach and revive his NFL career back in 2021. However, that chapter closed abruptly. He was cut after one preseason game, without a reception or special teams play. This felt like a painful blow, a stark deviation from his plans.
Despite sabotage accusations from past rivals, Tebow was not deterred. As the NFL opportunity vanished, another emerged on a global scale. Amid the turmoil in Afghanistan, Tebow flew to a refugee camp to assist. “I got to get on a plane to the Middle East, and I landed in a country in the Middle East and right into an evacuee camp, and when we walked in, instantly, many people that were right around us were fighting for their lives. Puts things into perspective a little bit,” Tebow posted on Instagram.
That shift from stadium lights to crisis zones was drastic, but it guided him towards his main goal. “But you see, what was a setback to me, a setback to my pride, a setback to my goals wasn’t actually a setback. It was actually a setup for what I was really supposed to be doing,” Tebow said. After that, Tebow and his team visited a second camp, providing assistance wherever necessary. Released from the obligations of professional football, he shifted his attention to a larger purpose: his work with the Tim Tebow Foundation. This organization is now dedicated to protecting the vulnerable, combating human trafficking, aiding orphans, and assisting those with critical medical issues. Tebow views his past challenges not as defeats, but as God’s way of guiding him toward his real mission.
Most recently, Tim Tebow championed the Renewed Hope Act of 2024, legislation aimed at preventing child sexual exploitation. Despite obstacles, Tebow’s faith never wavers. He sees every setback as an opportunity to serve and every new direction as a more profound calling. But he’s no longer a former NFL star or a social worker, he’s a dad with the pressure of setting the right path for his kid.
