'I never got to meet my mom's mother, but her sister, Daphne, stepped in as a grandmother figure to me,' she said. 'She was so special to my mom and me - a tiny, kind, and strong South African woman who always had shortbread in the house, was the epitome of grit and grace, loved Jesus, had the voice of an angel, and made everyone feel seen and special.' The new mom also shared how she had admired her 'Ouma Daphne' since childhood and always aspired to be like her one day. 'I've loved the name since I was a little girl, and for as long as I can remember, I always said that if I ever get blessed with a daughter, I'll name her Daphne,' Demi-Leigh added. 'Shortly after Tim and I got married, I shared that desire with him, and thankfully, he loved the name just as much as I did.'

You were made to rule and reign - not in power, but in purpose, love, and identity.' 'So here she is - our daughter. Our answered prayer. Daphne Reign Tebow - created in the image of God,' she said.

While expressing her pride in her cultural roots, she acknowledged the language barrier it might pose for her American husband. 'My first language is actually Afrikaans, which sounds a little Dutch-German, but Tim doesn't speak Afrikaans,' Demi-Leigh told the publication. 'Tim's picked up on some important phrases, so he can – I mean, he can't hold his own completely, but he can pick up.' She further highlighted the importance of passing on a part of her heritage to her little one. 'Afrikaans is a big part of my culture and how I express myself. I definitely want to teach her some words, but I think it would be sad to have a conversation with her and not include Tim in it.'
