Gabourey Sidibe and her husband, Brandon Frankel, spent Christmas at home with their twins, Cooper and Maya, and according to Frankel, it was the highlight of the year.
On Dec. 25, the father-of-two shared a glimpse of their holiday celebration on Instagram, posting a carousel of photos of the couple and their 20-month-old twins, Cooper and Maya.
In the photos, Sidibe held one of the twins while Frankel carried the other, with the family dressed in matching African-print pajamas in bold blue, yellow, and turquoise.
“Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Frankel’s! This year I got everyone matching African print family pajamas to keep the annual tradition going with a nod to @gabbysidibe , my African print Queen! As she says “this is our Super Bowl”, and I was probably more excited for them to wake up to all their presents than they were,” the entertainment marketing professional wrote.
He concluded, “They’re so big now, and their 2nd Christmas they have more of an idea what’s happening. These three are all the gifts I need. And don’t worry- we’re throwing in our Jewish tradition of Chinese food haha.”
Earlier this fall, Sidibe shared another family moment when Cooper and Maya visited her on set while she directed a new project. In a photo posted to Instagram, the actress stood beside her director’s chair holding both children and joked in the caption that they “STILL arent’t allowed to watch screens tho.”
Brandon later shared his own reflection from the visit, writing that seeing his wife balance motherhood and her career was something he deeply admired.
“I’m really glad the twins and I were able to travel across the country so they could be reunited with mama @gabbysidibe while she directed a new movie,” he captioned his post. “Seeing them light up when they got to see her after weeks of her being gone (minus FaceTimes and videos daily) was magical. PROUD OF YOU!!”
