Robertson went on to share the special meaning behind the name, quoting the Bible passage Proverbs 16:24: "Gracious words are like HONEY, sweetness to the soul and health to the body."
"I've always loved this verse," she explained. "Its made me have a love for the idea of all that honey is. It's a sweet delicacy with a strong healing component."
Continued Robertson, "When Christian and I started dating we went through the book of Proverbs together and I remember getting to chapter 16 and as I read verse 24 i said to him, 'you have words like honey. they are so sweet and are healing places in my heart I didn't even know needed to be healed.' "
According to the expectant star, the word "honey" is also linked to her first date with Huff, whom she married on Nov. 25, 2019 at her family's Louisiana farm.
