鈥淲e are still shocked. It does not feel real,鈥 Gist said.

After learning Drake helped several fans during his 鈥業t鈥檚 All a Blur Tour- Big As the What鈥, the couple decided to create a poster that said, 鈥淓xpecting our 1st baby in August.鈥

The couple automatically felt 鈥淔ireworks.鈥

鈥淭he fact that we didn鈥檛 even know that we could have a kid,鈥 Jimenez said. 鈥淣ow, not only is she a blessing but she also blessed us and helped us financially. She knew that her parents were stressed.鈥

Gist and Jimenez already have plans for the money.

鈥淲e have some debt that we have accrued, and our goal was to have the debt paid off in time for the baby,鈥 Jimenez explained. 鈥淪o, we鈥檙e going to take the money and literally put it all toward debt.鈥

To thank Drake, the future parents will name their baby June Aubrey Jimenez, a nod to the rapper鈥檚 birth name Aubrey.
