Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe just disclosed that she and her husband, Brandon Frankel, welcomed twins earlier this year!
With hearts brimming with joy, Gabby Sidibe and Brandon Frankel graciously invited us into their beautiful journey into parenthood, sharing the news of their twins’ arrival in early April.
The 41-year-old Oscar nominee and her spouse, Brandon Frankel, welcomed twins in early April: a girl named Maya and a boy named Cooper.
In February, Sidibe made her pregnancy public. The co-host of Prank Panel shared several pictures of herself, Frankel, and her growing baby bump on her Instagram page. Frankel placed his hand on Sidibe’s growing baby bump in one photo. In another, the content couple was seen pushing their double-duty strollers.
In a heartwarming journey that began in November 2020, the 37-year-old Antebellum star took to Instagram to share the exciting news. In the video, Brandon joyfully announced, ‘I put a ring on it!’ marking the start of their beautiful journey towards marriage.
“My BFF proposed, and now I get to hold him forever. The funniest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest human to exist… I’ve learned so much about myself through him, and I feel grateful and excited to learn more about the entire world with him by my side. My partner, my best friend, my cats’ daddy, my man, my heart, my fiancé!!!” Sidibe shared with her fans.
Now, Gabourey Sidibe is officially a mom!
In the adorable photos, Sidibe and Frankel are seen grinning, leaning into each other, and holding one of their babies. Sidibe appears stunning as she cuddles up to her children outside, sporting a vivid orange dress.
“Brandon always wanted to name a son Cooper, so we can call him ‘Coop,’ and Maya was named shortly before our baby moon to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico,” Sidibe told the media blog. “Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”
In other photos, Frankel—wearing a red beanie—is seen kissing their infant daughter while Sidibe carries their wriggling baby boy and rests her head on his shoulder.
