You actor Penn Badgley and his spouse Domino Kirke are thrilled to announce they are expecting twins. The couple shared their joyous news on Friday.
Domino posted an adorable photo booth snapshot on Instagram, showcasing Penn, their 4-year-old son, and her baby bump. A second image in the post featured a blurry heart-shaped cake in red, with the words “marry me over & over” inscribed on it.
In her caption, she wrote, “Babies #3 and #4 arriving this Summer! Talk about an unexpected twist! Spontaneous twins are nothing short of magical. We are astonished. We feel so blessed.”
She included a lovely note: “Can’t imagine anyone else I’d rather be on this journey with @pennbadgley #handsoffthewheel #monoditwins.”
The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends and fans, including Madeline Brewer, Badgley’s co-host on the “Podcrushed” podcast, Nava Kavelin, and many others.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed their first child together, a son, in August 2020. Kirke also has a teenage son, Cassius, from a prior relationship.
In a recent episode of the New York Times’ Modern Love podcast, Penn shared his insights on parenting, reflecting on the various roles he has with his son and stepson.
“My stepson’s father plays an active role in his life, so his father is his father, and I’m something different,” Badgley articulated. He further explained that his approach to parenting differs between his two children due to their age gap, stressing the need to exhibit more vulnerability with his younger son as he matures.
