Alexa and Carlos revealed they were expecting their second child earlier this year, before revealing the gender and his name in a cute vlog from a recent family vacation.
In a new interview, the longtime couple opened up about just how they came about the name - Kingston James. Turns out, they were inspired to chose it while they were shopping at Target.
“It was literally as simple as that, at Target, in the underwear section!” Alexa told People.
She also opened up about how she was relieved that their second child would also be a boy, instead of a girl.
“I know everybody was kind of hoping for a girl for us because we already have a boy, but we really both wanted another boy,” she explained. “Our kid [Ocean] is tough and he just needs a little boy that he can wrestle with and play with.”
“When we found out that we were having another boy, there was like this actual almost relief,” Alexa added. “Even though a girl would have been adorable and so sweet and great, having another little boy, I really believe it’s exactly what our family needed.”
