Luke also opened up about what happened while they were celebrating the news at lunch on February 25, 2020.

“PS a stranger came over to us while we were celebrating the news & told us he was going to pay for the champagne we were drinking. We tried to argue but he insisted. He had no idea who we were or what we were celebrating but just saw our joy & wanted to add to it. The waiter told us his name was Mike Petty and this is what he does. We had no choice but to accept this generosity and now we feel an obligation to always pay it to forward & do a #MikePetty! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU MIKE!” Luke said.
