No need to worry…Carmaxx is not the baby’s actual name according to mom.

Just to clarify…we are not naming our son “carrmaxx” lol. My name is Carrington, my husband’s name is Maxx. Our couple nickname has been carrmaxx for the 8 years we’ve been together – But we wouldn’t do our kid like that 😂 We truly appreciate all the well wishes! Thank you 💙

Kirk and Tammy Franklin, who married in 1996, have four children in total. The couple shares two children, Kennedy and Caziah. Their son Kerrion is Franklin’s eldest child from a previous relationship. Carrington is Tammy’s daughter from a previous relationship whom Kirk adopted.

Congratulations to the Franklin family!
