Tim Tebow Is Engaged to Former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters

Tim Tebow has asked girlfriend Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters to marry him — and she said yes!

The former NFL quarterback proposed to Nel-Peters at sunset on Wednesday at his family’s farm outside of Jacksonville, Florida, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

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.
