What Gabourey Sidibe & Her Husband’s Cute Twins Look Like: One Is Like “Mommy,” the Other like Dad

Gabourey Sidibe and her husband, Brandon Frankel, officially entered the parenthood club earlier this year, welcoming twins. The babies are already melting hearts and sparking playful debates about which parent each twin favors.

Gabourey Sidibe, known for her breakout role in “Precious,” found love in an unexpected place.

Their bond deepened during the pandemic, with Sidibe overcoming her initial hesitation to step into a serious relationship with Frankel. In 2020, they took the next big step, but their engagement story wasn’t without its surprises — both planned and accidental.

Sidibe and Frankel’s love story began with a swipe on a dating app. After a failed marriage in his 20s, Frankel was hesitant about re-entering the dating world. When he finally decided to give it another shot, he joined Raya, an exclusive app often frequented by celebrities.

His strategy was unconventional but effective: swipe “Yes” on everyone. Sidibe, on the other hand, had only downloaded the app the day before and swiped “Yes” exclusively on him. Their connection was immediate.
