Gabourey Sidibe welcomes twin babies with husband Brandon Frankel

Congratulations — times two — are in order for Gabourey Sidibe and husband Brandon Frankel.

The couple announced on the Shade Room Thursday that they became parents in early April when their twin babies arrived.

The “American Horror Story” star gave birth to a baby boy named Cooper and a girl named Maya.

“Brandon always wanted to name a son Cooper, so we can call him ‘Coop,’ and Maya was named shortly before our baby moon to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico,” Sidibe told the outlet. “Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”

“We thought it was time to give our cats some responsibility so we’re giving them each a baby to take care of! Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun!!” she joked.

“Twin Delivery coming soon! Twinty Twinty Four!!” the “Precious” star added.

In a post of his own, Frankel wrote that they referred to their little ones as “the Frankel Twins, aka ‘Sidibabies.'”

The businessman, 39, gushed over his wife, calling her a “trouper.”

“It was so hard keeping this quiet for so long- can not wait to be a TWIN DAD!” Frankel wrote in March. “So excited the twins get to have a Mom that is so loving, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful.”

He and the “Big C” alum started dating after meeting on Raya.

Frankel got down on one knee in 2020, with Sidibe waiting to share their secret wedding news until a “Live With Kelly and Ryan” appearance two years later.

“We got married over a year ago … at the kitchen table,” she revealed in December 2022. “It was just us.”

The confession came seven months after the Golden Globe nominee shared her plans to steer clear of a “traditional” ceremony with Brides magazine.

“I don’t want anything done the ‘traditional’ way,” she told the magazine in May 2022. “Our relationship is very much on our terms and I want it to be fun, like a true party.”

Sidibe noted that she didn’t “need a white dress” and would “probably [wear] African print.”
