Gabourey Sidibe is pregnant with twins, one for each of her cats


Congratulations to Gabourey Sidibe and Brandon Frankel! The couple, who got married in 2021, announced earlier this week that they’re expecting twins this year. Gabby and Brandon are already parents to two cats that are often featured on their social medias. In keeping with that theme, Gabby’s announcement was an adorable Instagram post in which she joked that she was having one baby for each of her cats to take care of.

Gabourey Sidibe and her husband Brandon Frankel are growing their family. The Oscar nominee announced Tuesday on social media that they are expecting twins, with something of a humorous caption.

“I’m pregnant! We thought it was time to give our cats some responsibility so we’re giving them each a baby to take care of,” the caption on a series of photos on her Instagram account read. “Double the babies,double the cats, double the fun!! Twin Delivery coming soon! Twinty Twinty Four!!”

The photos include one showing Sidibe and Frankel with a double stroller.

The couple quietly married in 2021 after getting engaged in 2020. The couple often share glimpses of their life together with their beloved cats on social media. On Tuesday, Sidibe’s happy news on Instagram was met with many congratulatory comments from famous friends, from her “American Horror Story” costar Cheyenne Jackson to Octavia Spencer, who called the “Precious” star “radiant.”

Gabby and Brandon’s cats, Derrell and Aaron, have yet to comment on their impending big brotherhood but here’s to hoping those two rascals take their roles seriously! Jokes aside, I’m so happy for Gabby. I wish her a healthy, easy pregnancy. And I also wish all four of them a smooth transition! When my older son was born, our cat was very attached to me. She was so shook at that tiny, crying, strange little person’s arrival that she refused to go near him for a full two weeks. Cats are such funny creatures.

    Awww, this is cute! (Derrell reminds me of one of our cats from long ago.) Giving cats responsibility might be a bridge too far, LOL, but congratulations are in order!

    • Beenie says:

      I am childfree and I have to admit my dog has zero work ethic and pretty much never helps out around the house, so maybe Gabby is on to something.

  3. FancyPants says:

    LOL had to go google who he is and how he snagged such a catch and his IMDB description is literally just “Brandon Frankel has been married to Gabourey Sidibe since November 2021,” so congrats to him for aiming so high and congrats to them for the baby twins!

      I worked in the music industry over 10 years ago in Chicago. Brandon was one of the college interns I worked with. Nice guy, worked hard.

      Congrats to her and her husband. I am also praying for my miracles this year and hope to give my two very irresponsible, attention seeking cats-Brava and Kunim (flower in Korean) some duties around the house to do.
