Penn Badgley, wife Domino Kirke welcome twins

Penn Badgley and his wife Domino Kirke have doubled their family with the arrival of twins.

In an Instagram video posted on Wednesday, September 3, the You star has announced he had welcomed twin boys with his wife of over eight years.

The adorable video opens with the 38-year-old actor whispering, "I am interrupting my paternity leave, which I’m on, by the way, which is also why I’m whispering."

The Gossip Girl alum then sits on the sofa, leaning gently over his newborn identical twins, while gushing, "There’s tiny little baby feet right there," showing only their swaddled toes.

He then sits upright beside them and adds softly, "I don’t want to wake them up."

Still whispering, The Young and The Restless actor goes on to announce a future live event for his upcoming book, Crushmore.

He wrote the book with his Podcrushed cohosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari.

"Interrupting twin paternity leave to announce a live event @podcrushed at @symphonyspace Oct 14 NYC supporting the release of our book CRUSHMORE," the caption of the adorable video read. "Truly proud of this one. Please check it out! @podcrushed for all info."

The proud parents announced they were expecting their third and fourth babies in February 2025, with the doting mother breaking the news via an Instagram post. 

Before welcoming the twins, the couple were already parents to their four-year-old son and Kirke, 41, is also mom to a 16-year-old son, Cassius, from a previous relationship.
