Overview

• Badgley posted a whispering Instagram video announcing the arrivals, briefly interrupting paternity leave and panning to a newborn’s feet.
• The post promoted a Podcrushed live event supporting the release of his book Crushmore at Symphony Space in New York on Oct. 14, co-written with Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari.
• He has said the babies are identical boys, noting that he and Kirke feel pressure to “raise them well” because “the world needs more good men.”
• The twins join the couple’s 4-year-old son and Kirke’s 16-year-old, Cassius, from a previous relationship.
• Kirke, a doula, announced the twin pregnancy in February on Instagram, calling the spontaneous twins a “plot twist” and “beyond magical.”
