Tim Tebow proposed to girlfriend and former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters in Jacksonville on Wednesday.
The former University of Florida Heisman Trophy quarterback – who went on to play in the NFL before turning to television (current SEC Network host) – while playing baseball with the New York Mets organization, popped the question at his family’s farm in Jacksonville, according to PEOPLE magazine.
From PEOPLE:
“The couple strolled along the property, and stopped next to a small lake, where Tebow had installed an arbor and a specially made bench that was engraved with the date the couple first met.”
For about five minutes, Tebow and Nel-Peters talked about their relationship and its future in hushed tones before Tebow, 31, dropped to one knee. “Demi Leigh Nel-Peters, I love you,” he said. “Demi Leigh Nel-Peters, will you marry me?”
As Nel-Peters said yes, Tebow slipped a 7.25-carat solitaire ring on her finger. “This ring is internally flawless,” he said. “Just like you.”
