In her caption, Gabourey expressed her elation, humorously remarking, "I'm pregnant! We thought it was time to give our cats some responsibility so we're giving them each a baby to take care of! Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun!!" She cheekily added, "Twin Delivery coming soon!" and signed off with a playful "Twinty Twinty Four!!"



 

Gabourey and Brandon tied the knot in March 2021, although the public announcement of their marriage didn't come until the following year during an appearance on "Live With Kelly And Mark."

During the interview, Gabourey revealed that they had gotten engaged in November 2020 after meeting on a dating app. Surprising many, she confessed that they had quietly wedded over a year ago due to their aversion to traditional weddings.
