Domino Kirke and her husband, You star Penn Badgley, have welcomed twin boys, marking the couple’s third and fourth children together.
The announcement was confirmed on September 3 when Badgley shared a tender Instagram video of the newborns’ feet, quietly saying, “I'm whispering... I don’t want to wake them up.”
The couple, married for eight years, are now parents to four children. The twins join their 4-year-old son James and Kirke's 16-year-old son Cassius from her previous relationship with Morgan O’Kane.
Penn revealed he has been on paternity leave following the birth but will return to the public eye for the release of his book of essays, Crushmore, on October 14.
Kirke had previously reflected on the experience of carrying twins, telling E! News in May. “It's humbling. It's so overwhelming. The idea of two at once, it's one of those things where you just take your hands off the wheel, and you say, 'I'm just on the ride.' That's what pregnancy and childbirth are for me.”
In an earlier podcast appearance, Badgley spoke emotionally about expecting twins as an only child, “To be honest, when we see the sonograms right now, seeing them together, as an only child, you know, it's very touching to see them already so together.”
