Sidibe and her husband Frankel joyfully welcomed their twins, son Cooper and daughter Maya, in early April. On Frankel’s recent Instagram story, he shared that the twins’ birth wasn’t kept a secret but rather a delightful surprise.
The “Empire” star revealed they chose the name Cooper for their son because Frankel had always adored it and wanted to affectionately call their baby “Coop.”
Maya’s name was picked just before their babymoon to the enchanting Mayan Riviera in Mexico. Both babies carry traditional West African middle names, a heartfelt tribute to Sidibe’s family heritage.
The Oscar nominee gushed about her little ones, describing them as strong and full of humor. Although Cooper and Maya haven’t started interacting much with each other yet, Sidibe noted that Cooper often acts as Maya’s little guardian, alerting everyone when she’s about to spit up.
While Cooper loves his sleep and makes comical facial expressions, Maya delights in hearing her name sung and shows remarkable comedic timing. All these adorable things have already charmed their parents. Sidibe added that both babies adore cuddling with their mom and dad, making family time extra special.
Sidibe shared that her labor experience was a complete surprise. What was supposed to be a routine appointment turned into a delivery day for her twins, who arrived much earlier than planned. Since then, every day with her babies has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy.
Reflecting on parenthood, Sidibe noted that the biggest surprise for her and Frankel was adjusting to the new chaos. Their babies are loud and restless sleepers, making the adjustment period quite lively.
Despite the challenges, Sidibe is thrilled by the prospect of dressing her twins in adorable outfits, singing to them, taking memorable trips, and raising them to be good people.
Sidibe offered some sage advice to parents expecting twins. She told parents that synchronizing their babies’ schedules is key to managing the delightful chaos of twin parenthood.
The actress and her husband tied the knot in 2022, and their love story has been nothing short of magical. Frankel frequently gushes over Sidibe, showering her with heartfelt tributes. Just two days ago, he posted a charming photo of himself in a suit, kneeling to kiss Sidibe’s hand, who looked radiant in African attire.
His caption read, “Forever my Queen. I love this photo- I celebrate you every day. My love. My best friend. My babies’ Mama. My world. I love you the mostest. You’re my happy ending and my forever after ❤️.” Sidibe playfully replied, “You really get bored and miss me when I’m napping huh?”
The couple joyfully announced they were expecting their twins earlier this year. Sidibe shared a series of delightful photos online. In one snapshot, she looked stunning in a pink dress and black boots, proudly showing off her baby bump. Frankel who was dressed in all black with baby pink sneakers, lovingly held her from behind.
Another photo showed the couple pushing a double black baby stroller. A third image captured them standing in front of a mirror, with Frankel embracing Sidibe. The final picture featured the actress standing outside a Baby List shop.
The couple got engaged in 2020 and shared the happy news on social media. Frankel revealed in a post that he had asked his best friend to marry him, and she sweetly accepted.
Since then, Frankel has been a devoted husband, often sharing kind words about Sidibe and offering glimpses into their life together on social media. He proudly calls her beautiful despite the constant criticism she has faced from the public.
