Gabby Sidibe announces that she recently gave birth to a child
According to Shutterstock, the 41-year-old announced that she and her husband had twins in early April. The portal reports that the couple gave birth to a boy named Cooper and a girl named Maya.
“Brandon always wanted to name his son Cooper so we could call him 'Coop,' and Maya was named just before our babymoon trip to the Riviera Maya in Mexico,” Sidibe told the outlet. “Both twins have traditional West African middle names after members of my family.”
Sidibe explained that her bundles of joy are “both extremely strong and hilarious” even though they “haven't really interacted with each other yet.”
“Cooper sometimes speaks for Maya and alerts us when she is about to spit up. Maya loves having her name sung to her and is the queen of comedic timing, and Cooper loves his sleep and has the funniest facial expressions,” Sidibe added. “They both love to snuggle with mom and dad.”
The 41-year-old explained that the day the contractions started came as a complete surprise to her.
“We originally planned to go for a routine appointment, but then we were told that the twins would not arrive until later that day and not at the originally planned time,” Sidibe said.
Since then, says the actress, every day with her babies has been a real event. The “biggest surprise” for Sidibe and her husband since the due date is “how loud and chaotic the babies are when they sleep.”
“'Active sleep' is pretty wild,” said the 41-year-old. “It was also a surprise to see how little they were aware of each other outside the womb, while they seemed to interact so much with each other inside.”

Before concluding her talk about this major event in her life, Sidibe revealed that her most important advice for parents expecting twins is to “get them used to the same daily routine. It's a must!”
She also explained what she and her husband are most looking forward to as new parents of twins.
“We are looking forward to the outfits and dressing them up, singing with them, going on trips, exploring the world and raising them to be good people,” Sidibe said.
