Former ‘Gossip Girl’ star Penn Badgley, singer Domino Kirke welcome baby boy

Actor Penn Badgley has become a dad.

According to People magazine and E! News, the former “Gossip Girl” and “You” star and his wife, singer Domino Kirke, recently welcomed a baby boy. The child, born Aug. 11, is the first for Badgley, 33, and the second for Kirke, 36, who also has a son from a previous relationship, the news outlets reported.

Kirke, a doula, shared news of the child’s birth in Instagram posts Sunday, more than seven months after she announced she was pregnant, according to People.

“On the road again ... pregnancy after loss is a whole other thing,” she captioned a Feb. 10 Instagram post. “After two miscarriages in a row, we were ready to call it. I stopped trusting my body and started to accept the fact that I was done. As a birth attendant, I’ve seen and heard it all. It takes everything I’ve got to detach lovingly from the losses I’ve been present for and be in my own experience.”

She added: “Now, with 10 years worth of experience to pull from, I treasure my birth community and the knowledge I have. You’re already teaching us how to stay in the day in a way we’ve never had to, little one. Thank you.”

Badgley and Kirke wed in February 2017, People reported.
