Academy-award-winning ‘Precious’ star Gabourey Sidibe has announced she is pregnant, expecting for the first time with her husband, Brandon Frankel.

She shared the news on her Instagram page, saying, “I’m pregnant! We thought it was time to give our cats some responsibility so we’re giving them each a baby to take care of,” Sidibe wrote.

“Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun! Twin Delivery coming soon! Twinty Twinty Four!” She also shared photos with the announcement, of her and her husband as they shop at The Babylist Store.

Gabourey and Brandon met on the dating app Raya and reportedly had a seven-hour first date.

They got engaged in November 2020 and tied the knot in March 2021 but waited to share the news until December 2022.
