Penn Badgley and his pregnant wife are enjoying the last few moments before becoming parents of four.
On Monday, Aug. 11, Domino Kirke, 41, shared a snap of her nestled in the You star’s, 38, arms on Instagram. The married couple posed in a signature prom night post with Kirke’s baby bump on full display.
The expectant mom joked that she was “ready to graduate” in her caption, writing, “Twin prom pic 👶👶 ready to graduate now 😅#stillcookin.”
Kirke first announced that the couple is expecting twins on Instagram in February. The announcement began with a photo of two photobooth images. The images showed a side view of Kirke’s growing baby bump as Badgley and their 4-year-old son kissed it. In a follow-up photo, Kirke showed a photo of a red heart cake that read, “marry me over & over.” She and Badgley tied the knot in February 2017.
“Babies #3 and #4 coming this Summer! Talk about a PLOT TWIST! Spontaneous twins are beyond magical. We are stunned. We are in awe. Can’t think of anyone else I’d rather be on this ride with @pennbadgley 👶♥️👶🎢#handsoffthewheel #monoditwins,” Kirke wrote on Instagram.
She included the hashtag “monoditwins,” referencing monochorionic diamniotic twins who are “identical twins who share a placenta (monochorionic) but each have their own inner sac (diamniotic),” per the University of Michigan.
The new additions will join the couple’s son, 4, whose name has not yet been revealed, as well as Kirke’s son Cassius, 16, from a previous relationship.
While speaking with Access Hollywood on the red carpet for the premiere of the final season of Netflix’s You, the John Tucker Must Die actor revealed that the sex of his twins, noting that the “pressure’s on.”
“They’re identical boys, so now we have four boys,” he shared. “You know, I do mean this sincerely. It sounds a bit tacky, but the world needs more good men, so you know, pressure’s on us to raise them well.”
When asked to share his dad superpower, the Easy A actor replied, “Well, it’s my patience until I’ve lost it, and then I’m just as bad as anybody else. But, I can be very patient.”
