Gabourey Sidibe Turns 42 and Gets a Sweet Surprise from Husband Brandon Frankel

Gabourey Sidibe just turned 42, and her husband Brandon Frankel had nothing but love and praise to shower her with on her special day. In a heartwarming Instagram post shared on Tuesday, May 6, Frankel celebrated Sidibe with a series of family photos featuring the actress and their newborn twins, Cooper and Maya, who were born in April 2024.

“Happy Happy Birthday to our queen,” he began the caption, adding, “This last year you’ve fully turned into SUPER MOM, and the twins and I are so thankful to be able to celebrate you on your special day.” Frankel went on to promise a spa day and “a bunch of sushi” in honor of Sidibe’s birthday a well-deserved treat for the new mom who has been balancing motherhood and marriage with grace.

The couple first met on the exclusive dating app Raya and got engaged in 2020 before tying the knot in 2021. Since then, they’ve grown into one of Hollywood’s most private yet lovable families. Their connection was instant. Frankel once revealed their first date lasted over seven hours. As their family has grown, so has the love they share publicly and privately.
