Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke Are Expecting Twins—Talk About a Plot Twist!
Buckle up, Upper East Siders! Penn Badgley, our beloved Dan Humphrey from *Gossip Girl*, is set to become a dad for the fourth time! His wife, Domino Kirke, recently took to Instagram to announce that they’re expecting twins this summer, referring to the news as a “plot twist.” The 41-year-old shared her excitement on February 28, proclaiming, “Babies #3 and #4 coming this Summer! Talk about a PLOT TWIST! Spontaneous twins are beyond magical. We are stunned. We are in awe.” Talk about a family expansion!
Domino isn’t just a mama-to-be; she’s also a busy mom of two. Alongside her husband, she shares a four-year-old son named James, and she is also the mother of 16-year-old Cassius from her previous relationship with musician Morgan O’Kane. In an interview with *Rolling Stone*, Kirke spoke about how motherhood has inspired her upcoming album *The Most Familiar Star*, emphasizing how her experiences as a doula have fueled her creativity. “I’m constantly reminded by my kids and clients that I’m a profoundly creative person,” she explained.
On the other hand, Penn has expressed the ups and downs of parenthood, admitting that sometimes it’s a challenge. In a live taping of the *Modern Love* podcast, he shared, “Sometimes it can be tough and you can just be over it.” The actor opened up about his relationship with his stepson, describing it as a bit complex since he shares different types of relationships with his kids. “I have an interesting situation where I have a biological son and a stepson,” he noted, highlighting the nuances of step-parenting.
Meanwhile, if you’re reminiscing about their *Gossip Girl* days, let’s not forget that other cast members like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are busy too! Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, welcomed their fourth child last year, while Meester is making waves in comedy with her recent roles. As Penn prepares for his new role as a father of four, there’s no denying that the cast of *Gossip Girl* is thriving—no more lonely boys, that’s for sure!
