Former NFL star Tim Tebow and Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters has tied the knot, the couple shared on Instagram. 

The two, who both wrote "forever" in their captions, married in a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa. 


This was confirmed Tuesday by US-based magazine People.

"I've been looking forward to three things," Tebow said of the wedding. "The first moment I see her in her wedding dress, the first kiss, and the first dance together as man and wife. It's such a special night." 

According to People, Nel-Peters walked down the aisle in a custom-made gown from David's Bridal, a clothier in the US. 


Tebow, a collegiate football champion who previously played for NFL teams the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets, got engaged to Nel-Peters in January. 

He was born in the Philippines where his parents served as Baptist missionaries. His family moved back to the US when he was 3. 

He currently plays minor league baseball.
