Precious star Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe and her husband Brandon Frankel are setting relationship goals with their adorable social media posts, made even sweeter with her recent pregnancy announcement.
In November 2020, Sidibe announced her engagement to Frankel, a talent manager with Cameo, a personalized celebrity messages service website.
"My BFF proposed and now I get to hold him forever," she wrote in an Instagram post, adding that her beau was "The funniest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest human to exist."
Ever since they wed in March 2021, the precious duo has been sharing glimpses of their sweet married life in silly social posts, including posing in matching pajamas, getting competitive at card games, cuddling with their "teenager" cat, Aaron, and him gladly assisting her in taking out her weave, indicating to her that she's found "the 1."
When Gabourey announced she was pregnant with twins in February 2024, the daddy-to-be raised the bar as a model husband with gushy posts about their love for each other and his unbridled joy of welcoming their twins in "Spring Twinty Twinty Four!"
Not him looking like he's unprepared for fatherhood.
Au contraire, friends. He said that getting ready to be a "Twin Dad" was "a vibe, tbh."
"Twin Dad personality loading …. 👶🏽👶🏽🍼🍼🥹❤️ It’s a vibe, tbh"
The heartwarming photo would also go on to become his profile pic on X (formerly Twitter).
Frankel also gave a shout-out to his main girl in celebration of their 3rd wedding anniversary.
"It’s been the honor of my life getting to shower you with love & laughs," he wrote.
"I never dreamed there was someone so perfect out there for me- every moment is an absolute pleasure."
"I love you so much! Next adventure: TWINS!"
Their effusive joy is infectious.
"This encapsulates how STOKED we are to become parents pretty well," he wrote in the caption for a pic of them pushing two strollers together at a Babylist baby registry event.
But Frankel didn't want to make the post just about their future kids.
"and I’m obsessed with @gabby3shabby ‘s glow and smile," he wrote.
Social media users' hearts were brimming with joy over his posts.

His gorgeous and expectant wife so enamored Frankel that he was compelled to "spam" his Instagram followers with a photo of her to show just how ravishing she was.
He praised:
"Pregnancy looks so amazing on you that I need to spam all my followers so they know what it is!"
"I’m officially a full-on stan account, if there was any doubt🥹😍❤️🥰 @gabby3shabby"
Frankel previously praised her similarly on March 6, writing:
"PREGNANCY LOOKS AMAZING ON YOU!! I’m obsessed with my wife and her bump! @gabby3shabby looks more beautiful by the day, and I love watching her grow into motherhood."
"She’s going to be the most amazing Mom ever- the Frankel Twins, aka 'Sidibabies', are so incredibly lucky to have you. Can not WAIT for these beautiful babies"
Fans are eager to greet the new twinsies.

"My gorgeous, glowing Mama to be @GabbySidibe . She looks like a princess from a fairytale - you radiate love and positivity and I just can’t wait for you to be a Mom!"
"I’m so proud of you."

To the glowing affirmation of love, the 40-year-old Empire actor responded with:
"Being this loved like this everyday is so wonderful and it’s exactly what I deserve."
"I’m so grateful to have @brandontour. A great husband and sure to be an incredible Daddy."
"Our lil family can’t be complete soon enough."
People were overwhelmed by their love story and overjoyed eagerness for parenthood.
Frankel is so overjoyed about embarking on an exciting new life chapter together, that he could hardly refrain from holding back...things.
So eloquently stated, Brandon, and we don't blame you for your excitement.
We can't wait to welcome those sweet twins to our world and see the beautiful photos on your socials, you two!
