With only a few episodes left in Season 7 of Love Is Blind, tensions are running high as couples struggle to sustain their relationships.
The latest couple is Alexandra Byrd and Tim Godbee, whose tumultuous relationship has finally come to an end.
Their troubles began during the cast’s trip to Mexico and escalated after Tim introduced Alex to his parents.
In a shocking turn of events, Tim realized he didn’t envision Alex as his wife.Fans are perplexed by the messy breakup, but some are more intrigued by a peculiar detail: Tim’s mom affectionately calls him “Drake.”
Here’s what we know:
Why does Tim’s mom call him Drake on ‘Love Is Blind’?
In Episode 10, “The Text From an Ex,” Alex meets Tim Godbee’s parents, who shed light on his nickname “Drake.”
As it turns out, Tim shares his name with his father, Tim Sr., making “Drake” a practical solution to avoid confusion.
Tim’s mom, Kim, explains, “When people say ‘Tim,’ I always look at [Tim Sr.].”
She jokes, “His name wasn’t supposed to be Tim, but whatever. We’re not gonna go there.”
The nickname simplifies family communication, especially when they’re together.
Interestingly, Tim shares his name with DC’s third Robin, Timothy “Tim” Jackson Drake.
Born two years after the character’s 1989 comic book debut, it’s unclear if Tim’s parents were inspired by the superhero.
More likely, they chose “Drake” as a middle name to honor his father.
