Gabourey Sidibe, the star known for her breakthrough role in “Precious,” is embracing an exciting new chapter in her life as she and her husband, Brandon Frankel, prepare to welcome twins. The 40-year-old actress took to Instagram to share the joyous news, posting heartwarming pictures of herself in a radiant pink dress, with Frankel lovingly cradling her burgeoning baby bump. The occasion was marked at a Babylist baby registry event, signaling the couple’s eager anticipation of their growing family.
The photographs convey the couple’s sheer happiness and readiness for parenthood, showcasing their choice of a double stroller, carrier, and clothes for the twins. Sidibe’s Instagram caption reflected her excitement and humor about the upcoming additions to their family, joking about giving their cats some “responsibility” by entrusting them with a baby each. She teased, “Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun!!” and playfully signed off with “Twinty Twinty Four,” embracing the twin theme fully.
Gabourey Sidibe and Brandon Frankel’s journey to this point has been unique and heartfelt. The couple tied the knot in March 2021, a detail Sidibe revealed during an appearance on “Live With Kelly And Mark” the following year. She recounted how they met on a dating app and got engaged in November 2020. Despite their aversion to traditional weddings, they had already been married for over a year by the time of her announcement, surprising many with their low-key approach to matrimony.
Since then, they’ve been enjoying married life, with Frankel openly expressing his admiration for Sidibe and his excitement about building a family together. His Instagram posts have been filled with affection for his wife, emphasizing that there’s no one else he’d rather embark on the journey of parenthood with.
As Sidibe prepares to welcome her first children, it’s a significant milestone for the actress, who has come a long way since her days portraying Precious. The news of the twins has sparked a wave of congratulations for the couple, as fans and well-wishers express their happiness for their expanding family. With their hearts and home set to double in size, Sidibe and Frankel’s adventure into parenthood is just beginning, filled with the promise of love, laughter, and the joys of raising twins.
