How long have Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke been married? Couple learns they are expecting twins

Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke have been married for eight years after tying the knot in February 2017. On February 28, Kirke took to Instagram to announce that the couple is expecting twins. Her post included an image of Penn kissing her pregnant belly and another picture of a heart-shaped red cake with "Marry me ever & ever" icing.

Kirke captioned the post -

"Babies #3 and #4 coming this Summer! Talk about a PLOT TWIST! Spontaneous twins are beyond magical. We are stunned. We are in awe. Can't think of anyone else I'd rather be on this ride with @pennbadgley"

Kirk also included the hashtag "monoditwins," announcing that the twins are monochorionic diamniotic twins, which means that the twins are identical and share a placenta but have their own individual inner sacs.

The couple welcomed their first child, a son, on August 11, 2022, together.

Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke's relationship timeline

Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley first ran into Domino Kirke in 2014. They were spotted together in New York City in 2014, sparking relationship rumors. In an interview with HeyMama, Kirke revealed that she wasn't serious about the relationship when they began dating,

"I was sort of getting used to being a single mom, maybe a little too used to it. I had a really good thing with my kid and we were like this little team. Penn and I were dating, but it wasn't nearly as serious as it is now, ofcouse. I didn't think marriage was in the cards for us."

Kirke was dating Morgan O'Kane before Penn Badgley and shares a daughter, Cassius Riley, with the musician.

In November 2015, the two attended the LoveEMC fundraiser at The Bowery Hotel in N.Y.C. The couple legally married on February 27, 2017, in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Brooklyn, New York, with some close friends and family in attendance. In June 2017, the two threw a second wedding, an outdoor wedding in upstate New York, inviting family and friends, including celebrities like Mariska Hargitay, Heidi Klum, Debra Messing, and Zac Posen.

In February 2020, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together and went on to welcome their son in August 2020.

Kirke's announcement about expecting twins comes after Penn Badgley, in a recent appearance on the Modern Love podcast, opened up about his experience with fatherhood.

The actor said he has had some "tough" moments and tries not to lose his patience with his son.
