Gabourey Sibide has some precious news.
The Oscar nominee and her husband Brandon Frankel shared they welcomed their twins, a girl and a boy named Maya and Cooper in April.
“Brandon always wanted to name a son Cooper, so we can call him ‘Coop,'” Gabourey told The Shade Room June 6, “and Maya was named shortly before our baby moon to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”
And the Precious star learned how special the bond between twins can be during her first few months of motherhood.
“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.”
