Penn Badgley and his wife Domino Kirke are officially a family of six after welcoming identical twin boys. The 38-year-old You star announced their arrival on Wednesday with an Instagram video, which also promoted an upcoming live event for his new book, Crushmore.
Badgley, who wrote the book with his Podcrushed co-hosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, captioned the video: “Interrupting twin paternity leave to announce a live event @podcrushed at @symphonyspace Oct 14 NYC supporting the release of our book CRUSHMORE. Truly proud of this one. Please check it out! @podcrushed for all info.”
In the video, Badgley whispered, “There’s tiny little baby feet right there. I don’t want to wake them up.” The twins join the couple’s 4-year-old son, as well as Kirke’s son Cassius, 16, from a previous relationship.
Badgley previously spoke about the pressure of raising boys. “They’re identical boys, so now we have four boys,” he shared with Access Hollywood at the premiere of the final season of Netflix’s You. “The world needs more good men, so pressure’s on us to raise them well.” When asked about his “dad superpower,” the Gossip Girl alum admitted, “It’s my patience until I’ve lost it—and then I’m just as bad as anybody else. But, I can be very patient.”
