Penn Badgley welcomes identical twin boys with wife Domino Kirke



It’s double trouble for Domino Kirke and Penn Badgley!

The “Gossip Girl” alum’s wife has given birth to twin boys. Badgley announced the happy news via Instagram Wednesday.

“I’m interrupting my paternity leave, which I’m on by the way, which is also I’m whispering. There’s tiny little baby feet right there,” Badgley, 38, said. “I don’t want to wake them up.”

The “You” star made the announcement as he promoted an upcoming live event for his podcast and new book “Crushmore” on Oct. 14.

The singer, 41, revealed her pregnancy news in February, calling their expanding family a “plot twist” in an Instagram announcement.

Kirke hinted at her due date in the caption, writing, “Babies #3 and #4 coming this Summer! … Spontaneous twins are beyond magical.”

“We are stunned,” the doula continued. “We are in awe. Can’t think of anyone else I’d rather be on this ride with.”

She and Badgley are also the parents of son James, whom joined their family in August 2020.

The little one made an appearance in the Photobooth pictures Kirke used to debut her baby bump, with a heart emoji covering his face.

Welcoming James during the coronavirus pandemic was “very, very joyful,” Badgley told “Jess Cagle Show” listeners in 2021.

“We had an opportunity to be with him in a way that we wouldn’t have,” he explained. “So that is a strange blessing in it all.”

The “You” star is also the stepdad to Kirke’s eldest son, Cassius, from her previous romance with ex Morgan O’Kane.

She and Badgley got married in February 2017 in a New York City courthouse, tying the knot again upstate four months later.

The couple have been together since 2014.

Kirke once said (via People) that she didn’t think “marriage was in the cards” when she met her now-husband because she was “sort of getting a little used to being a single mom.”

Badgley praised his partner’s “invisible qualities” while wishing her a happy birthday via Instagram in 2019.

The actor called Kirke a “truly radiant soul” with a “great capacity for empathy” and “miraculous … desire to be of service to others.”
