Yahoo Finance Mets farmhand Tim Tebow ties the knot in South Africa
When Tim Tebow reports to the New York Mets for spring training next month, he’ll have an important new accessory: a wedding ring. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and current Mets farmhand married Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters over the weekend in a beautiful sunset ceremony.
Tebow and Nel-Peters have been a couple since 2018, and they got engaged just over a year ago. The pair decided to tie the knot in Cape Town, South Africa, which is where Nel-Peters was born. 260 guests came to enjoy a weekend of events, which included a lot of South African touches like music, authentic food, and face painting.
One thing that wasn’t quite authentic — or traditional — was the wedding cake. Apparently Tebow is on the keto diet, so Nel-Peters told People that they chose a cheesecake as their wedding cake. Not even his own wedding is a cheat day for Tebow.
Tebow and Nel-Peters even managed to look in love when they weren’t being professionally photographed or filmed.
Aww. Congrats to the happy couple!
