Academy Award-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe and her husband, Brandon Frankel, delighted fans by sharing their first Christmas as parents with their 8-month-old twins, Cooper and Maya.
The family, affectionately referred to as “The SidiBabies,” marked the milestone with heartwarming moments that brought festive cheer to their followers.
A Festive First
On Dec. 26, Sidibe, 41, posted a charming video montage on social media, showcasing their family celebration.
Dressed in matching blue tie-dye pajamas, the twins giggled and played with their new toys—and their favorite part—the boxes they arrived in.
Sidibe captioned the video:
“The first Frankel Family Christmas for The SidiBabies was a success! They really loved the boxes!”
Brandon Frankel echoed her joy in the comments, declaring, “We did it! We won the parent ‘Super Bowl.’”
Frankel also shared his gratitude on Instagram, posting endearing photos of the twins interacting with Sidibe. He expressed appreciation for their family time, especially as Sidibe returned home from filming to celebrate the holidays together.
Musical Moments
The festive spirit extended beyond Christmas Day.
Earlier in the week, Sidibe posted a video of a sweet moment during her singing lessons, where Cooper and Maya happily babbled along from their personalized seats.
The clip offered a glimpse into the couple’s nurturing parenting style, highlighting their commitment to fostering a joyful and engaging environment for their children.
A Love-Filled Journey
Frankel often shares his admiration for their children on social media. In a Dec. 10 post, he celebrated the twins with a gallery of adorable photos, stating that his heart “explodes” with joy.
He lovingly credited Sidibe for the twins’ endearing personalities, emphasizing the family’s strong bond.
A Star’s New Role
Gabourey Sidibe rose to fame with her breakout role in the 2009 film Precious, earning critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
