Brandon frequently shares photos of Maya and Cooper, highlighting his love for fatherhood and his hands-on approach to parenting alongside Gabby. Their shared passion for parenting is also evident in the way they dress their kids in the most adorable outfits possible.
Their daily routines include feeding the twins and enjoying tummy time together. The doting dad shared, "A little behind-the-scenes look: Feeding time with the twins. We go out of our way to switch off who feeds who every feeding so they both get equal time with Mom & Dad. We'd have it no other way [sic]🥹❤️😍 @gabby3shabby."
Amidst their parenting duties, Brandon and Gabby have had their share of funny mishaps. One standout moment happened when Gabby was feeding Cooper, and things got so messy that the milk somehow ended up in her mouth instead of his. "The dangers of a poorly timed After Dinner Kiss [sic]," Brandon hilariously shared.

Despite the inevitable mess of milk stains, Brandon remains in awe of his wife's dedication to their children. He often praises Gabby, calling her a "Super Woman [sic]," and affectionately refers to her and the twins as his "three favorite people." He also stated, "I'm obsessed with our family we've made. Love lives here [sic]😭❤️🫠."
Even the family cats have adjusted to the twins' arrival. In a pregnancy announcement in February, Gabby mentioned that she wanted to give the 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 wrote.
Gabby later shared an update with their cats, saying, "For those of you wondering how Aaron and Derrell are feeling with the arrival of the twins, they are protective and jealous and not at all aggressive with them." The cats even seem to enjoy watching Brandon feed the babies.

In Brandon's recent Instagram story, he shared that the twins' birth wasn't kept a secret but rather a delightful surprise. Gabby also revealed they chose the name Cooper for their son because Brandon had always adored it and wanted to affectionately call their baby "Coop."
Their daughter's name, Maya, was chosen just before their babymoon to the enchanting Mayan Riviera in Mexico. Both babies have traditional West African middle names, honoring Gabby's family heritage.

She said Cooper loves to sleep and often makes comical facial expressions, while Maya delights in hearing her name sung and shows remarkable comedic timing. These adorable traits have quickly charmed their parents
She also shared that her labor experience was a complete surprise. What was supposed to be a routine appointment turned into a delivery day for her twins, who arrived much earlier than planned. Since then, every day with her babies has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy.
Reflecting on parenthood, Gabby noted that the biggest surprise for her and Brandon was adjusting to the new chaos. Their babies are loud and restless sleepers, making the adjustment period quite lively.
Despite the challenges, Gabby is thrilled by the prospect of dressing her twins in adorable outfits, singing to them, taking memorable trips, and raising them to be good people.
Gabby offered some sage advice to parents expecting twins. She told parents that synchronizing their babies' schedules is key to managing the delightful chaos of twin parenthood.
The actress and her husband tied the knot in 2022, and their love story was nothing short of magical. Brandon frequently gushed over Gabby, showering her with heartfelt tributes. He once posted a charming photo of himself in a suit, kneeling to kiss his wife's hand, as she looked radiant in African attire.
His caption read, "Forever my Queen. I love this photo- I celebrate you every day. My love. My best friend. My babies' Mama. My world. I love you the mostest. You're my happy ending and my forever after [sic] ❤️." Sidibe playfully replied, "You really get bored and miss me when I'm napping huh?"
