Penn Badgley may have captivated audiences around the globe with the finale of Netflix’s hit series You this week, but he's just one shining star in a large, talented family.
Back in 2017, the 38-year-old joined a famous family when he tied the knot with his wife, Domino Kirke. The couple met through mutual connections in the entertainment industry in New York over a decade ago. The pair ushered in their nuptials with two ceremonies – a small service in Brooklyn with dinner at Maison-May and a large reception at Domino's mother’s home in Waccabuc, New York.

The actor is also a stepdad to his wife's son, Cassius, 16, whom she shares with musician Morgan O'Kane. In a recent episode of Call Her Daddy, Penn shared his reaction to discovering his wife was pregnant with twins.
"My wife is a doula, so birth is a real big part of our world," he explained.

He continued: "I think we thought one would be, you know, we know what it is, we have two, we’re surrounded by children and people having children,” the You star continued. “I think we knew like yeah, this is gonna be a lot, but it felt like a known quantity. And then it was just like, ‘Oh, this is how it will be, very new.'"
