After tying the knot in January 2020 during a celebration in her home country of South Africa, the pair then spent the first year of their marriage amid the COVID-19 pandemic alongside the rest of the world. While, traditionally, the first year of marriage is often one of new adventures and experiences with one another – theirs was definitely changed due to the virus.

Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters dated for less than a year before getting engaged in 2019 and were married just a year later.
Tebow, who was looking to continue his career as a baseball player with the New York Mets at the time they got engaged has often been known for his impressive results as a sports star – and even more well-known due to his outspoken faith.
Nel-Peters is a South African model and beauty pageant winner who rose to worldwide fame when she claimed the title of Miss Universe 2017.
It was during her world tour as Miss Universe that she and Tebow first met, and she thanked him for his support during her farewell speech at the conclusion of the Miss Universe 2018 event.
Since they got together in the early summer of 2018, Tebow and Nel-Peters spent a great deal of time together and even visited each other’s family throughout the holiday season. This would prove to them that they were really a match made in heaven – so they got hitched in a gorgeous ceremony just months before the pandemic swept the world.
In a new series of posts to Instagram Demi-Leigh shares how they spent their first anniversary and the special gift her husband surprised her with on their special day.
“One year anniversary trip photo drop. So grateful for a few quality days together,” she wrote alongside photos showing them on a short adventure to Naples, Florida.

In another post, Demi-Leigh shows off an absolutely massive bouquet of roses as she sits on the edge of the table in front of it.
“So so so grateful! 365 roses for every day of marriage and one peony (my favorite flower) for one of me ☺️ The great, figuring-it-out, selfish, selfless, moody, miraculous, misunderstood, fun, beautiful, crazy busy, calm, harder and perfect days. One rose to celebrate each of them♥️ I love you Tim and I’m so thankful for your intentionality to mark each day with purpose and to celebrate all of ‘us’.”
