Gabourey Sidibe and husband Brandon Frankel have two more reasons to be thankful these days.

The "Precious" actress and Frankel shared a joint post to Instagram over the weekend announcing the arrival of their twins Cooper and Maya, whom they said they welcomed in April.

"Our babies arrived in April and brought so much life and excitement into our existence," they wrote in the caption. "They are sweet and funny and love cuddling with us and are developing a beautiful sibling-hood with each other."
