Penn Badgley, best known for his roles in You and Gossip Girl, has once again become a father. His wife, singer Domino Kirke, has given birth to twin boys.

The actor shared the joyful news on Instagram. In a video, he first promoted his new book Crushmore, before the camera shifted to the tiny feet of one of the newborns. In the caption, Badgley noted that he was taking «a break for fatherhood due to the birth of twins».

Penn and Domino have been married for eight years. They are already raising their five-year-old son James together, while Domino also has a 16-year-old son, Cassius, from a previous relationship.

The couple had announced the pregnancy back in early March, admitting that the news of expecting twins had caught them completely by surprise.

«Babies number three and four will arrive this summer. What a plot twist! Unexpected twins – it feels truly magical. We are amazed. We are stunned. But who better to embark on this adventure with than Penn Badgley?» Domino shared at the time.
