Penn Badgley and his wife, Domino Kirke, almost separated following two devastating miscarriages.
The “You” star detailed the losses in his new book of essays “Crushmore: Essays on Love, Loss, and Coming-of-Age.”
“This was our second loss together. A time when it did not feel as though the cycle would break,” he wrote. “My wife and I neared separation as many do after losses like that.”
He added that the separation largely came about because the couple felt “isolated” in dealing with the losses because we live in a “culture that doesn’t talk much about these things or know how to support those going through it.”
Badgley, 39, added, “Seeing our still baby in that tripped out black-and-white sono imagery is a dreadful memory I can’t shake every time we go for a sonogram now.”
He reiterated the need for openness and talking more about miscarriages on the “Totally Booked” podcast on Sunday.
“That sort of loss is really common, and we should — I don’t know if talking about it alone is what we need,” he said. “We at least need to start by talking about it more … They do happen all the time, and they can be really, really painful. Well, I would say they universally are painful. Maybe not everybody’s fully allowed to feel that way.”
Though it’s unclear when the miscarriages occurred, the actor and Kirke, 41, are parents to son James, whom they welcomed in August 2020.
Additionally, Kirke gave birth to twin sons in September
When Kirke announced she was pregnant in February, she admitted to being “stunned” via an Instagram announcement.
“Spontaneous twins are beyond magical,” she wrote at the time.
Kirke is also the mother to a son named Cassius from a previous relationship.
“It’s funny because I wrote this before the twins were born, and now I feel like I am — and I mean this with love — but I feel like I’m drowning in children,” Badgley said on the podcast.
“So, it’s harder to get in touch with that feeling of loss because my cup truly runneth over.”
The “Gossip Girl” alum shared that he was grateful that he and Kirke didn’t give in to the “gravity” of separating.
Kirke and Badgley started dating in 2014 and tied the knot in February 2017 at a New York courthouse.
They exchanged vows once again that June.
