“We’ve known for quite a few years, it just wasn’t the right time,” France explained. By April 2021, however, the couple finally announced that they were expecting. Since that time, they’ve been in planning mode for their new arrival, and part of that planning has included choosing a name for their baby. While France remained mum on divulging the couple’s choice of name, he did share that it has a significant origin.

“I’ve always had a name in mind that I wanted to call my child,” France confessed to the outlet. “Thankfully Rob loves the name also. It’s an Abrahamic name, which means it’s Biblical, Jewish, Muslim, all of those.” In terms of how the couple plans to raise their child, France is leaning heavily on his own upbringing and watching his siblings as parents.
“My siblings have raised their children the way our parents raised us and I love who they’ve become,” he shared. “My biggest hope is that he’s kind, and that he’s healthy.” Clearly, France and his husband couldn’t be more excited to welcome the new member of their family, and we cannot wait to see them go on this journey together!
