Gabourey Sidibe’s Husband Gushes Over the “Loves” of His Life in Sweet Family Photo
Precious actress Gabourey Sidibe’s husband Brandon Frankel shared an adorable life update featuring the couple’s twin babies.
Brandon Frankel’s recent tribute to Gabourey Sidibe is absolutely precious.
The Oscar nominee and the talent agent’s 7-month-old twin babies Cooper and Maya appeared in a sweet photo shared to Brandon’s social media, where he calls them the “loves” of his life.
“No matter how tough things get, or how crazy the world becomes, the way you all light up when you see me just warms my heart,” Brandon wrote in a Nov. 16 Instagram post, in which Gabourey beams down at her brood while sitting on the floor with them. “I love you all the most.”
Gabourey and Brandon have shared sporadic updates of their twins, born in April, since she announced their in June.
“They are sweet and funny and love cuddling with us and are developing a beautiful sibling-hood with each other,” Gabourey, 41, wrote in the post at the time. “These last 2 months with them have been so fun getting to know their distinct personalities and figuring out the silly things we can do to make them laugh and it’s been absolute Heaven. We are so grateful and honored to be their parents.”
And the couple hasn’t shied away from sharing the harder parts of caring for two little ones at the same time.
“The twins have humbled me,” the Precious actress wrote in an October Instagram post, “beyond repair I fear.”
In the accompanying video, Gabourey detailed how difficult it has become to get ready for a day out as a mom of two.
“My son and I have a difference of opinion about who I should be,” Gabourey continued. “My son thinks that just because I’m bald-headed with spit-up all over me at home, that that’s also who I should be in the streets, and no. No, I don’t have to be bald-headed and spit upon in the streets. Imma be flourishing. Ok? Ok?”
Naturally, Brandon shared support for his wife of three years in the comments, writing, “You’re doing great, love.”
