Penn Badgley shares first glimpse of identical twin boys with wife Domino Kirke

Penn Badgley has announced the birth of his identical twin boys, gushing over their “tiny baby feet” as he revealed the news on Instagram.

Sharing a video on Wednesday (3 September) to promote an upcoming event for his book Crushmore, the You actor began by announcing that he is “on paternity leave”.

Badgley said: “I'm interrupting my paternity leave, which I'm on by the way, which is also why I'm whispering.”

Panning the camera over to the feet of one of his newborns, he said: “There's tiny little baby feet right there. I don't want to wake them up.”

The couple are already parents to a four-year-old son. Kirke also has a son Cassius, 16, from a previous relationship.
