CHICAGO, Ill. — Damien Wilkins found out the gender of his baby on the way with fiancé, Jasmine, while at work. In the middle of his job, in fact.
During the timeout between the first and second quarters of the Pacers’ recent home game against the Dallas Mavericks, Jasmine obviously surprised Damien by learning the gender of their baby in front of a sellout crowd (17,923) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
It’s a boy. Baby Zion is expected in May, according to her Instagram.
A few days later, in Chicago, Wilkins talked about that moment with VigilantSports.com.
“She pulled off a very mysterious gender reveal for our son. She wanted to reveal but she didn’t know either. She wanted to reveal publicly and surprise us both. It worked and it went well, and we didn’t realize the legs that it was going to grow — picked up by so much media. It’s an exciting time for our family, for my fiancé, Jasmine, and we’re super excited about it.
“She fooled me, though. I had no idea what was going on as you could tell from the video.”
