Domino Kirke And Penn Badgley Welcomes Twin Boys

Domino Kirke and Penn Badgley are the proud parents of twins. The couple welcomed baby boys No. 3 and 4 into their growing family on Tuesday. The "You" star and his wife of eight years announced the happy news on September 3, marking the next chapter in the family's story. Penn Badgley offered a close-up of the newborns in an Instagram video, filming their tiny feet, whispering, "I don't want to wake them up."

And his post not only offered fans a sweet glimpse of the couple's home life, but it was also a shining example of the gentle, hands-on approach the duo has taken to parenting over the years. The new arrivals are siblings to the couple's 4-year-old son, as well as 16-year-old Cassius, the biological son of Domino Kirke from a previous relationship with Morgan O'Kane. The couple is already parents to boys, but Kirke has said in earlier interviews that she's expecting this chapter of parenthood to be different, with the challenges and joy of twin babies.

While he is currently on parental leave, dodging newborns and settling into life with children, Penn Badgley has taken a brief break from his parental duties and is back promoting his upcoming book of essays, Crushmore, available October 14. He was enthusiastically promoting an upcoming live event at Podcrushed, at Symphony Space in New York City, celebrating the book's release. "Truly proud of this one. Please check it out!" he wrote, emphasizing just how grounded the couple is when it comes to family and career.

This announcement offers a glimpse into the couple's personal life beyond the screen for fans. While Kirke, a skilled minimalist and thoughtful singer, and Badgley, who, amongst many roles, starred in Gossip Girl and You, have opened up about their relationship and moments with their family over the years, the arrival of twins takes their journey to a new stage of curiosity and merriment from the public. Now they are the proud parents of four boys, and Lancaster-Kirke and Penn Badgley are embarking on a loud, happy new phase in parenting. And between the sleepless nights and double baby milestones, the couple seems prepared to take on all the crying and laughing that every HGT-winning duo faces when raising twins and documenting it all for their global fan base.
