Tim Tebow and Wife Demi-Leigh Tebow Reveal Sex of First Baby

Tim Tebow and Wife Demi-Leigh Reveal the Sex of Their First Baby Together! (Exclusive)

Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh Tebow are gearing up to add a new member to their team.

Nearly two months after the former Denver Broncos quarterback and the former Miss Universe shared they are expecting their first baby, the couple announced they are having a girl.

“We can’t wait to meet our baby girl and are excited for all the big milestones and little moments in between,” the couple exclusively told E! News. “Getting to watch her grow each day and become the person God created her to be will be such a gift.”

Though, as the pair shared, they had a guess as to their baby’s sex beforehand.

“Funny enough, we both had a strong hunch she was a girl all along, however, we would’ve been thrilled either way,” they explained. “Knowing she’s a girl has definitely influenced some of what we’ve picked out—the nursery is mostly neutral, with splashes of pink here and there.”

And as Tim, 37, and Demi-Leigh, 29, learned they were welcoming a baby girl, they’ve been busy celebrating with loved ones by their side. 

“We’ve mainly been soaking in every second and celebrating her life with our community and families,” they shared. “Even though we’ll probably never be fully prepared for what’s to come, we’ve definitely been preparing both emotionally and practically. It’s been great gaining wisdom from seasoned parents and taking notes on how to best care for a baby.”

As they noted, “We’re slowly but surely turning the guest bedroom into her nursery—Demi is definitely taking charge of that and having so much fun with it!”

The couple announced their pregnancy earlier this year in January, sharing on Instagram their excitement just under a week before their fifth wedding anniversary.

“We’re over the moon to step into parenthood together,” the South African model wrote on a Jan. 16 post. “Thank you, Jesus, for this incredible blessing and privilege of becoming a mom and dad.”

Tim and Demi-Leigh began dating in 2018 before tying the knot in a sunset ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2020. And while they live in the U.S., Demi-Leigh’s native South Africa remains close to their heart, with them recently visiting for a baby shower. 

“Baby Tebow is in bloom,” Demi-Leigh captioned her Feb. 5 post featuring pictures of the baby shower. “Spending most of my time in the U.S., one of the hardest things is not being able to share some of life’s special moments with my friends and family back home in South Africa. I’m especially grateful for this time to celebrate Baby Tebow with some of the people that have been in my life since I was little!”

Her and Tim’s dogs, Paris, Kobe and Chunk even joined the celebration from afar as the “Tebow Pack”  were featured onher “Baby Tebow” cake and on different pieces of décor.

Not only has the trio of pups prepared them for parenthood, but they have also inspired Demi-Leigh’s children’s book Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose, following their dalmatian Paris as they learn about faith, purpose and kindness.

And the pair cannot help but gush over their excitement to become parents together.

“Since before we were married, we prayed we would have the opportunity to start a family, so it’s not necessarily a new conversation, but definitely a more frequent one,” they told E!. “We do have three dogs, which has shown us tiny glimpses of each other’s parenting styles, but we know raising a baby is a much higher calling we can’t wait to experience together.”

In fact, it’s an experience that the couple has already embraced with ease, thanks to those closest to them.

“We really value seeking wise counsel in every aspect of our lives and we’ve been asking people who we admire as parents all kinds of questions,” Tim and Demi-Leigh said. “It’s been so helpful just listening to their experiences and learning from what’s worked for them, while remembering that our parenting journey will be unique to us. We can’t wait to see life through a child’s eyes!”
