Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow just welcomed their daughter into the world on July 6, taking to Instagram to share their joy.
“Our daughter is here! We couldn’t be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life,” Demi-Leigh posted, adding, “We’re so grateful to the whole medical team that assisted us in the best way possible during my labor and delivery. From our doctor to our nurses and all the hospital staff — we are so grateful and thankful for you.”
People flooded the comment section with congratulations. “Congratulations! She’s beautiful! Glory to God! 💕” one person said. Another person added, “Congratulations on your beautiful, healthy baby girl 💗💗💗”
In a later post, the couple revealed their daughter’s name and the special meaning behind it.
“We’ve been so excited to share this with you…Meet our daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow ❤️”
Demi-Leigh explained, “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 shared how her great aunt “was so special to my mom and I,” describing her as “the epitome of grit and grace, [who] loved Jesus, had the voice of an angel and made everyone feel seen and special.”
Their daughter’s middle name, Reign, came from “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.”

Demi-Leigh continued, “More than anything, her name reminds us that when you’re adopted into God’s family, you become a child of the King. You were made to rule and reign — not in power, but in purpose, love, and identity.”
Back in January, the couple announced their pregnancy in a PEOPLE exclusive, and since then, they have shared sweet bump pictures and an intimate gender reveal where they learned they were having a girl.
Children have been at the heart of Tim and Demi-Leigh’s work through the Tim Tebow Foundation for years. The couple has helped orphans, those with special needs and victims of human trafficking. Their organization aims to serve “those who are hurting, marginalized, and trapped in darkness in 100+ countries and counting” and to “share the Gospel with as many vulnerable people as possible to help them know their inherent value as children of God.”
Congratulations to Tim and Demi-Leigh on their beautiful baby girl!
