Gabourey Sidibe can’t believe her twins are growing up so fast!
The American Horror Story alum, 41, shared an adorable picture on Instagram with her twins Cooper and Maya, whom she welcomed in early April with her husband Brandon Frankel. In the snap, Sidibe has one twin in each arm, with all three smiling for the photo.
“They are getting so big so fast!!!” Sidibe wrote in her caption.
“My whole entire heart in one picture 😍😭,” Frankel sweetly wrote in the comments.
The dad of two also shared a similar shot on his page of Sidibe with their twins, this time with the actress laughing while holding their little ones.
“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 😭❤️,” he captioned the heartwarming picture.
In June, Sidibe confirmed she’d welcomed her twins as she posed for photos with her newly minted family of four that were first reported by The Shade Room.
In the pictures, Sidibe and Frankel could be seen leaning into each other, each holding one of their babies as they smiled together. Wearing a vibrant orange dress, Sidibe looked radiant as she cuddled up to her babies outside.
Other images showed Frankel, who wore a red beanie, kissing their newborn daughter as Sidibe rested her head on his shoulder, carrying their squirming baby boy.
“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,” Sidibe told Shutterstock. “Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”

“They’re both extremely strong and hilarious, though they have yet to really interact with each other,” the star continued.
“Cooper will sometimes speak for Maya and alert us that she’s about to spit up. Maya loves her name being sung to her and is the queen of comedic timing, and Cooper loves his sleep and has the funniest facial expressions. They both love cuddling with Mom and Dad.”
In February, Sidibe revealed on Instagram that she was pregnant with twins. Sharing a series of photos, the actress wore a bright pink dress and posed with her husband, cradling her baby bump.
She also included a snap of the two pushing twin strollers together, as well as one where the couple looks at themselves in the mirror.
“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!” Sidibe wrote in her caption. “Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun!! Twin Delivery coming soon! Twinty Twinty Four!!”
Gabourey Sidibe Jokes Her Twin Babies Have Humbled Her “Beyond Repair”
Gabourey Sidibe proved that she approaches parenting her twins Cooper and Maya with a sense of humor in a hilarious new video.
Gabourey Sidibe isn’t precious when it comes to her candid Instagram Reels.
The 41-year-old had plenty of fun in a recent video of herself getting ready to take her 6-month-old twins Cooper and Maya to the pediatrician.
“I TOO, have never aspired to be humble,” she captioned the clip, referencing Kamala Harris’ recent viral quote, “but the twins have humbled me beyond repair I fear.”
In the clip, the Precious actress was seen attempting to attach a wig while wearing a spit-up covered shirt and specifically referenced her son Cooper.
“My son and I have a difference of opinion about who I should be,” she explained. “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?”
The Oscar nominee then mused about the idea of putting on eyeliner before changing her mind and exclaiming, “You know, who am I? Never mind. I’m gonna take this off and never mind.”
Of course, Sidibe got some love from her husband Brandon Frankel, who commented on the post, “You’re doing great, love.”
The couple is soaking up quality family time with their newest additions and doing so with a health dose of humor.
On Oct. 14, Sidibe shared a video of her twins playing with musical toys on the floor while grabbing at her foot, captioning the clip, “Worst foot rub ever.”
Frankel agreed, adding, “They still owe me thousands of dollars for all my massages and they refuse to pay.”
The family is gearing up for the next major milestone with their little cuties: Halloween. Frankel has already expressed his excitement preparing for a family costume, writing on Instagram, “Can’t wait for them to get to experience Halloween…AND COSTUMES!”
