Tim Tebow, Wife Demi-Leigh Announce Birth of Daughter Daphne Reign in IG Photos

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh, announced the birth of their daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow, on Monday via social media.

“We’ve been so excited to share this with you… Meet our daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow,” Demi-Leigh wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of the newborn.

Demi-Leigh shared the heartfelt meaning behind their daughter’s name, explaining that “Daphne” honors her grandmother’s sister, while “Reign” is a tribute to “a precious little girl Tim and I have loved deeply for years.”

"Daphne is a name that’s been close to my heart since I was a little girl. I never got to meet my mom’s mother, but her sister, Daphne, stepped in as a grandma figure to me. She was so special to my mom and I — a tiny, kind and strong South African woman who always had shortbread in the house, was the epitome of grit and grace, loved Jesus, had the voice of an angel and made everyone feel seen and special," Demi-Leigh wrote.

"And Reign… it’s a name that holds so much meaning. It’s inspired by a precious little girl Tim and I have loved deeply for years. Her story has shaped our hearts in ways I can’t even begin to explain," She continued.

Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 as a sophomore at the University of Florida and was later selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.
