DJ Envy and Gia Casey: How It Began
DJ Envy met Casey for the first time at his 16th birthday dinner. Casey was invited to the party by a mutual friend. Talking to OWN, he revealed to have been floored by her during their first meet.
DJ Envy talked about his wish to make a 15-year-old Casey his wife in the future. However, Casey wasn't an easy catch. It took DJ Envy a bit of effort to finally win her over.
In the same video, Casey revealed to have been approached by DJ Envy "every day to give me his telephone number."
As per Casey, a young DJ Envy once wrote her a letter telling her that "he was going to marry me and that we were going to have kids."
Their Kids' Names Follow a Unique Pattern
In the YouTube video titled, 'The Casey Crew Podcast Episode 198: Baby #6!' both DJ Envy and Casey discussed the names of their kids and the unique pattern they follow.
While the couple was busy discussing a suitable name for their unborn child, DJ Envy suggested the name RaaShana which, according to him, was "perfect, sweet and cute." However, his wife, Casey, cut her husband short immediately, saying, "that would never happen."
Casey educated the audience that the family followed a special pattern while naming their kids. She explained that the baby's first name should end in 'n,' and the middle name must end in 'r .'
This exact pattern can be noticed in the names of their kids. For example, the first name and middle name in Madison Tailor, London Skyler, their daughters, and Logan Tyler, their son, all end in 'n' and 'r,' respectively.
Taking this fact into consideration, we can rest assured that their new baby's name will follow suit.
