Tim Tebow and his wife, Demi-Leigh Tebow, have welcomed their first child together. 

The former NFL quarterback, 37, announced the birth of their daughter, Daphne Reign Tebow, in a joint Instagram post on Monday, July 7. 

The baby was born on Sunday, July 6. 

"Our daughter is here! We couldn’t be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life," the post read. 

"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," the post continued. 

The proud new parents included several of their special first moments holding the baby girl in the hospital in their IG drop.

In one photo, Demi-Leigh proudly lay in a hospital bed holding her newborn daughter while Tim stood closely beside them. 

Another snap showed the former NFL quarterback kneeling beside the baby's hospital crib. The newest addition to the Tebow family looked adorable while she slept peacefully, swaddled in a blanket with a little hat wrapped tightly around her tiny head. 

Several hours after Tim and Demi-Leigh announced the birth of their daughter, the couple shared another carousel of photos of baby Daphne on Instagram, wrapped in a monogrammed blanket with a large, pale pink bow. 

In the second birth announcement, the retired NFL quarterback and his wife revealed that their daughter was born at 2:02 p.m., weighed 8.85 pounds, and was 21 inches. 

Tebow and Demi-Leigh announced that they were expecting their first child together in March 2025. 

The couple met in 2018 and were married two years later, in 2020.
