Penn Badgley Says Two Miscarriages Nearly Ended His Marriage in Podcast Discussion

He used a Nov. 17 podcast to press for more open conversation about miscarriage.

Overview

  • The You actor said he and wife Domino Kirke "neared separation" after their second consecutive loss.
  • In his essay collection Crushmore, he writes that feeling isolated in a culture that rarely talks about miscarriage intensified their pain.
  • He describes a lasting image of a "still baby" on a sonogram as a dreadful memory that returns at every scan.
  • Badgley clarified the essay was written before their twins were born this year and said his "cup truly runneth over" now.
  • The couple welcomed a son in August 2020 and identical twin boys in 2025, and Kirke previously disclosed the two miscarriages in a 2020 Instagram post.
