Tim Tebow has the ultimate “hype woman” in his corner.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the former NFL quarterback posted a playful video of his wife, former Miss Universe winner Demi-Leigh Tebow, as she mimicked one of his speeches from his college playing days at Florida, where he and the Gators won two national titles during the 2006 and 2008 seasons.
The clip opens with an older video of Tebow hyping up teammates during halftime of his second title game, in which Florida turned a 7-7 tie into a 24-14 victory over Oklahoma.
The film then pans to Demi-Leigh, who channeled her inner Gator at home — jersey, helmet and all.
“You’ve got 30 seconds for the rest of your life,” Demi-Leigh said in the video, even spiking a football on the floor as Tebow chuckles in the background.
Tebow, 36, quipped in the video’s caption, “All this talk about speeches, I know someone who did it way better… @demitebow my forever hype woman.”
Demi-Leigh, who hails from South Africa, was crowned Miss Universe 2017.
First linked in the summer of 2018, Demi-Leigh and Tebow announced their engagement in January 2019 before tying the knot the following year.
“I’ve been waiting my entire life for someone special, who I can spend the rest of my life with. I was waiting for the right person to come along,” Tebow told People at the time.
“I can’t wait to see what our future holds.”
While Tebow and Demi-Leigh, 28, will be celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary come January, it’s his past that’s currently in the spotlight.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback is featured in the new Netflix docuseries “Untold: Swamp Kings,” which chronicles the 2000s-era Florida Gators under head coach Urban Meyer.
Tebow, a devout Christian, planned to remain a virgin until marriage.
In the docuseries, Tebow’s former teammates recall fielding questions about the quarterback’s private life.
“I was answering questions constantly about Tebow: ‘Hey, like Is he really a virgin?’ or ‘Is he really that perfect?’ or ‘Does he really just eat and sleep football?’” former Florida linebacker Ryan Stamper said. “I was like ‘Yeah, that’s who he is.’”
Elsewhere in the series, Meyer lauded Tebow’s work ethic.
“Tim was the only one, he was the hardest working guy,” Meyer said, adding, “He did everything right.”
Tebow played at Florida from 2006-09 and was selected 25th overall by the Broncos in the 2010 NFL Draft.
He later shifted to broadcasting while pursuing other professional sporting opportunities, including a minor league stint with the Mets in 2016.
