Tim Tebow Gets Engaged To Former Miss Universe

Tim Tebow took Miss Universe off the market.

So Del-Peters wouldn't suspect anything, Tebow said he was having a late Christmas get-together with his family and wanted to surprise his dad with a new truck.

Nel-Peters, 23 is Miss Universe 2017.

"Thank you for saying YES and making me the happiest man in the world", Tebow wrote. "Demi Leigh Nel-Peters, I love you", he said.

It was a special moment for the couple, and for Tebow's whole family, considering he did it on the Florida farm where he grew up, in front of family, friends and loved ones all there to see!

The 23-year old beauty is from South Africa but now lives in NY. "But I wasn't nervous to actually ask her". "I was excited", he said. "I love you and I can't wait to spend forever with you", said Nel-Peters. "I wanted everything to be flawless and to go smoothly".

Tebow tells PEOPLE that he's looking forward to planning the wedding. "My faith is important to me - it's the most important thing - and I need to be with someone who also shares that faith".

"I'm looking, but I just can't seem to find anyone", Tebow told People past year.

However, accuracy issues limited his potential as a quarterback and he ultimately failed to win the starting job with the New York Jets in 2012.

In 2018, Tebow was assigned to the Double-A Binghamton Mets before a hand injury ultimately ended his season.
