Tim Tebow and his wife Demi-Leigh are expecting their first baby, making the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday.

“We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together,” Demi-Leigh, 29, told PEOPLE.

Tebow, 37, told PEOPLE he’s “honored for the privilege of getting the responsibility and the joy of being mom and dad.”

Tim and Demi-Leigh married in January 2020 after meeting in 2018.

“She will be extremely loyal and loving Demi is someone that is extremely determined,” Tebow, an SEC Network analyst, said. “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.”

Tebow said the news changes his perspective on life.

“It’s just amazing how it also reprioritizes and changes what you put an emphasis on and what you value most,” he said.

“News like that just supersedes the level of importance and the level of joy that you have. It’s just so cool.”
