In March, the couple announced the exciting news on Instagram that they were expecting a baby girl. The black-and-white Reel began with the couple giving their last guesses before blindfolding themselves and dipping paintbrushes into pink paint. After filling the entire canvas, the two took off their blindfolds and the Reel turned to color as they revealed they were expecting a girl.
“Baby Tebow is a…GIRL! 🎀🩷🕊️,” Demi-Leigh and Tim wrote in their joint caption. “Our greatest blessing. We’ve been praying for her long before we knew her, and we’re beyond grateful that God chose us to be her parents. We can’t wait to meet you, baby girl! 🥹.”
“To create a meaningful piece of art for the nursery, we decided to find out the gender through painting! We chose two Bible verses—one for a boy and one for a girl—to add to the canvas once it was complete,” they shared.
“Now, let’s get this nursery in order! Bring on the pink bows, ruffles, and all things sweet. 🥰.”
In January, Tim and Demi-Leigh shared they were expecting their first baby together, expressing their joy at becoming first-time parents ahead of their public announcement on Instagram.
“We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together,” Demi-Leigh told PEOPLE of her first-time pregnancy with Tim, who said he’s “honored for the privilege of getting the responsibility and the joy of being mom and dad.”
Tim and Demi-Leigh, who first met in 2018 and wed in January 2020, are ready to take the “deep friendship” and “roots” they’ve built in their relationship and bring what they’ve learned from the last five years into parenthood.
“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. “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.”
