Actress Gabourey Sidibe and her husband, Brandon Frankel, are embracing the joys of parenthood with wide smiles and plenty of love. Frankel recently shared a heartwarming photo on social media of Sidibe and their twin children, Cooper and Maya, capturing a perfect moment of family bliss. The Glow, Girl! actress, dressed in a printed outfit with curls framing her beaming face, looked overjoyed as her twins mirrored her happiness with their own adorable smiles.
Frankel, filled with affection for his family, captioned the sweet snapshot with heartfelt words: “MY THREE FAVE PEOPLE! My heart is bursting. So much love in this house. I live to make these people laugh and smile—I’ll do anything to get it done, zero shame. I love you all so much 😭❤️”
Known for his consistent expressions of love for his wife and children, Frankel frequently posts about his family life online. Earlier in September, he shared another touching photo of Sidibe with the twins, reminiscing on how much they’ve grown since their birth.
“One of my favorite views in the entire world! My heart can’t take it. They were so small, and my wife is so pretty 😭😭😭❤️ Mother of the century award goes to @gabby3shabby,” he gushed in the earlier post.
Sidibe and Frankel welcomed their twins in April, a surprise that came sooner than expected when a routine checkup led to an early delivery. The couple had previously announced the pregnancy in February, and their family doubled in joy with the arrival of their little ones.
The love story between Sidibe and Frankel began like a modern fairy tale—on the exclusive dating app Raya. After meeting on the platform, the pair got engaged in 2020 and tied the knot in 2021. In March of this year, they celebrated their wedding anniversary, just weeks before becoming parents.
In a recent interview, Sidibe shared the touching inspiration behind their children’s names. “Brandon always wanted to name a son Cooper, so we call him ‘Coop,’ and Maya was named shortly before our baby moon to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico,” she explained. “Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”
As the twins continue to grow, it’s clear that the home Sidibe and Frankel have built is filled with joy, laughter, and love—a sentiment the couple openly shares with their followers. Fans can’t wait to see more of Cooper and Maya as they embark on this new chapter of parenthood.
