‘I’m So Grateful’ — Tim Tebow, Wife Welcoming First Child
The couple, who have been married since 2020, talked about the excitement of expecting their first baby together.
“We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together,” Demi-Leigh said to People of her first pregnancy with Tim, who said he’s “honored for the privilege of getting the responsibility and the joy of being mom and dad.”
The couple met in 2018 and married two years later in Jan. 2020. The couple will be celebrating their fifth anniversary on Jan. 20.
“I’m so grateful because I just couldn’t imagine a better life partner to do life with first and foremost,” said the former Miss Universe, who’s now 16 weeks pregnant. “To be able to raise a little tiny human being together. I’m so grateful that Tim is my husband … that we get to do parenting together.”
Tim said the idea of becoming a father hasn’t quite hit him yet.
“But when I’m with her and I see the belly growing, then it just becomes so real,” he said.
“I feel like every time I say, ‘Tim’s going to be a dad!’ it feels so surreal,” she added.
Both talked about how the other would be great parents. Tim said of his wife:
“(She) is going to be a fierce defender and protector,” Tim said. “She will be extremely loyal and loving. Demi is someone that is extremely determined. When she sets her mind to something, she goes all the way in — and I know that she will do that as a mom, too.”
“Tim is one of the most thoughtful people. He is literally one of the best gift-givers I have ever met,” Demi-Leigh said. “I just think that he’s one of the wisest people I have met — and I know that’s a bold statement to make, but I truly believe it. Just in the way that he approaches every single day.”

Demi-Leigh said she has enjoyed being pregnant although it was rough the first trimester and that she has a new respect for moms, especially working moms.
“I have loved being pregnant. … I have gained the absolute just new respect for moms, especially moms that are working.” She credited being “gracious” to herself, “knowing that this is the most important thing that my body can do right now.”
With his wife expecting, it has brought a new perspective for Tim.
“News like that just supersedes the level of importance and the level of joy that you have,” he added. “It’s just so cool.”
