Lucas' parents, Courtney and Jason, took part in the contest because Lucas' godmother convinced them that it was impossible to miss such an opportunity, because Lucas is a very cute baby. Courtney and Jason posted a photo of their son on Instagram, and a few months later it turned out that he would represent Gerber in 2018. Lucas was chosen from 140,000 applicants, and now his family will receive $50,000.

When Lucas doesn't win the hearts of others with his smile, he plays hide-and-seek, watches Disney shows and listens to music.

Lucas has a very busy year ahead as a Gerber representative. And Courtney and Jason think that later it will be a great story for the boy and will help him in the future.
