'We Did Near Separation': Penn Badgley Opens up About Heartbreak and Healing
Penn Badgley wrote about how two consecutive miscarriages nearly ended his marriage to Domino Kirke, who later gave birth to three children including twins, highlighting pregnancy loss isolation.
- On Monday, November 17, Penn Badgley revealed on the Totally Booked with Zibby podcast that he and Domino Kirke nearly separated after two consecutive miscarriages, which he detailed in his essay collection Crushmore published last month.
- Feeling isolated in a culture that rarely supports pregnancy loss, Badgley said the consecutive losses strained his marriage with Kirke, making separation feel likely amid lacking societal support.
- In the book, Badgley wrote `This was our second loss together. A time when it did not feel as though the cycle would break` and described trauma from sonogram imagery.
- Since the losses, Badgley and Kirke have welcomed their son born in August 2020 and identical twin boys born in September earlier this year, totaling three biological children.
- With time helping healing, Badgley said he wrote his essay before the twins were born and urged greater openness about miscarriage on the Totally Booked podcast Sunday.
