Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters is “proud” of new beau Tim Tebow.

Speaking on South Africa’s 947 Breakfast Club Wednesday, recognizing Nelson Mandela Day, 2017’s Miss Universe subtly confirmed her relationship with the Mets prospect, without dropping his name.

“There’s somebody. Anele, I’m sure you will definitely approve of him,” Nel-Peters, 23, said, via SportsGossip.com. “He’s very special and just such a big blessing in my life. He’s currently a baseball player and a former NFL player … look at all those titles I just dropped. I’m very proud.”

Tebow, 30, also told ESPN he and the South African native were an item earlier this week.
