Congratulations are in order for Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke, who recently welcomed identical twin boys to the world. Badgley first revealed the babies’ existence in a sly Instagram video promoting an upcoming event for his book, Crushmore, which he wrote with his Podcrushed co-hosts, Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari. Now that’s a surefire way to get eyeballs on an announcement.
In the video, Badgley says, “I’m interrupting my paternity leave, which I’m on by the way, which is also why I’m whispering here,” before showing one of his sons’ little baby feet. Kirke, a doula and sister of actresses Jemima and Lola, made her own announcement of the twins’ arrival on Instagram shortly after. She posted a selfie with the tops of their heads, captioning the photo, “…and then there were four 😶🌫️🤪🤯🥰.” The new additions join the couple’s 4-year-old son, James, and Kirke’s 16-year-old son, Cassius.
Kirke and Badgley have been married since 2017. The pair had two weddings that year — the first at a courthouse in Brooklyn, the second in an outdoor ceremony in upstate New York. Two really is better than one.
