Actress Gabourey Sidibe welcomes TWINS

Gabourey Sidibe and her husband Brandon Frankel have welcomed twins Cooper and Maya

The Precious actress, 41, posed for family photos that were first shared by the Shade Room.

The twins were born in early April and the overjoyed new mom shared the inspiration behind her babies’ names.

‘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,’ she added.

‘They’re both extremely strong and hilarious, though they have yet to really interact with each other,’ she continued.

‘Cooper will sometimes speak for Maya and alert us that she’s about to spit up,’ she explained.

‘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,’ she added.

Gabourey revealed she was pregnant in February at a BabyList event.
