A beard so young, she was just happy to be with the athlete.

If you are a closeted former A+ list athlete turned B+ lister, what better way to cover all those stories that came out a few years ago, then finding a beard. A willing beard. A beard so young, she was just happy to be with the athlete. I wonder if he is telling her they will save sex for marriage.

The athlete has not responded publicly.

This former A-list athlete (Tim Tebow) who is known as much for his conservative Christian values as his skills on the playing field is getting married. His engagement raised a few eyebrows as there's been speculation that he's closeted. Some say he chose his foreign-born model bride-to-be (Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters) because her ability to remain self controlled under pressure will make her a good beard.

I bet she says they are just friends.

In an effort to propel him higher in the ranks and give him a shot at the top level, this closeted A list name recognition athlete got the media to show off his new beard. For her part, I don't think the beard has any idea she is a beard or what is going on. Would love a reporter to ask her questions about the relationship. I bet she says they are just friends.
