Rodney revealed, “We never find out the sex of our babies. It helps Joy push them out better because she wants to know what it is so bad!”

As for the significance behind their new daughter’s name, Rodney explained: “When we found out we were pregnant, Joy said, ‘This is heavenly.’ I said, ‘Hey, there’s a name…Heavenly!’”

Heavenly Joy joins big brother Rodney David Jr., 18 months.
