On July 6, 2025, South African beauty queen and former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow and her husband, former NFL star Tim Tebow, joyfully welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Daphne Reign Tebow. The couple shared the heartwarming news with fans and followers the following day via Instagram, accompanied by tender photos of the new parents cradling their newborn.
The name Daphne holds deep personal significance for Demi-Leigh. She revealed that she never met her maternal grandmother but was raised with the loving influence of her grandmother’s sister, Daphne, who was like a second grandmother to her. Demi-Leigh described her as “the epitome of grit and grace,” someone who made everyone feel seen and special. Since childhood, Demi-Leigh had dreamed of naming her daughter Daphne, a wish her husband warmly embraced after their marriage.
The middle name, Reign, also carries profound meaning. It is inspired by a young girl whom Tim and Demi-Leigh have loved deeply for years, whose story has touched their hearts in ways they find difficult to express. More spiritually, the name Reign symbolizes their belief that being adopted into God’s family means becoming a child of the King—called to “rule and reign” not through power, but through purpose, love, and identity.
The couple expressed immense gratitude for the support and prayers they received during the pregnancy and birth. Demi-Leigh thanked the hospital staff for their care and a friend who captured the precious moments of their new family’s arrival.
This beautiful announcement marks a new chapter for the Tebows, who have been together since 2018, engaged in 2019, and married in 2020. Their journey from a celebrated South African Miss Universe to a loving mother, alongside Tim’s transition from NFL quarterback to devoted family man and commentator, resonates deeply with fans worldwide.
As they step into parenthood, Demi-Leigh and Tim Tebow’s story is a touching blend of love, legacy, and faith — a reminder of the power of family and the joy of new beginnings.
