Pregnant Domino Kirke Reveals How She and her husband Penn Badgley Are Preparing for Twins
Domino Kirke is embracing the beautiful chaos of expecting twin boys with husband Penn Badgley, and she's doing it with grace and openness. In a recent exclusive interview with E! News, the "Teething" singer offered a heartfelt look into her mindset as she prepares to welcome babies No. 3 and 4.
“Everyone is in the same boat, very, very fluid with it,” she shared. “I think they’re taking my lead. No one’s holding on too tight. It’s just an expansion—that’s what we’re here for.”
The couple, who already share a son, James, born in 2020, are leaning into a sense of ease and acceptance this time around. Domino’s approach to this pregnancy reflects a deep sense of trust in the process and a focus on flow rather than control.
Her comments echo the laid-back, grounded lifestyle the pair have cultivated, balancing Domino’s work as a birth doula and musician with Penn’s acting career, best known for his role on Netflix’s You.
No official due date has been shared yet, but it's clear the couple is preparing for their growing family with intention, calm, and a lot of love.
With twins on the way, Domino Kirke is entering familiar territory—but with a whole new twist. The singer and experienced doula, who shares a 4-year-old son, James, with husband Penn Badgley, and a 16-year-old son, Cassius, from a previous relationship with Morgan O'Kane, is preparing to welcome not just one, but two new additions to the family.
In her candid chat with E! News, Domino opened up about how this pregnancy feels different—and bigger—than anything she’s experienced before.
"It’s humbling," she admitted. "It’s so overwhelming. The idea of two at once, it’s one of those things where you just take your hands off the wheel, and you say, ‘I’m just on the ride.’ That’s what pregnancy and childbirth are for me."
Despite the challenges ahead, Domino’s calm and grounded attitude shines through. As someone who has spent years supporting other women through birth as a doula, she knows better than most that motherhood is often about surrendering control and trusting the process.
Now, as she and Penn gear up for the adventure of parenting twins, it’s clear they’re embracing the unknown with open hearts—and a sense of humor.
Domino Kirke is on a mission to change how we talk about birth—and how we see it.
In a recent interview with E! News, the singer and doula reflected on the mystery and magnitude of her current pregnancy with twins, noting how even after attending countless births, nothing fully prepares you for the experience.
"After attending so many births, it's the thing that you actually can't hold," she said. "There's so much mystery. You just have to trust. With twins, I'm like, 'Oh, it's that times 1,000' and I'm up for it."
That trust in the process—and a desire to demystify it—was also the inspiration behind her music video for “Teething,” a raw and emotional track from her latest album, The Most Familiar Star, released in April.
“There’s health class and there’s sex education,” Domino explained, “but there’s no conversation about how we get here.” Wanting to bridge that gap, she collaborated with her teenage son, Cassius, and a group of high school students to capture their real-time reactions to watching a birth for the first time. The result? A bold, vulnerable visual that challenges the outdated—and often frightening—images of childbirth that many from her generation grew up with.
"They were shown a gory misrepresentation of birth," she recalled of her friends raised in the ’70s. In contrast, Domino’s artistic lens focuses on the beauty, intensity, and humanity of the birthing experience—something she believes young people deserve to understand and appreciate.
As she prepares to welcome her third and fourth children, Domino is not just embracing motherhood, she’s helping to rewrite the cultural narrative around it.
