Penn Badgley married Domino Kirke in February 2017. Fans were surprised to learn that the star of «Gossip Girl» got married in a super-secret ceremony at a courthouse in Brooklyn, New York. The couple had kept a low profile in recent years, but here’s everything you need to know about Mrs. Penn Badgley.
A doula is a person trained to assist women during childbirth. This person helps during labor and can also help the family after childbirth. In 2009, Domino became a doula and co-founded her own doula business, Carriage House Doulas. She became a co-founder of the business in New York and Los Angeles, but eventually stepped away in 2020 due to allegations of racism.
«As you all know, 3 days ago anti-racist educator and activist Shishi Rose accused Carriage House Birth and me. This week has been a pause for me to really support what I say and do moving forward», - wrote Domino, pregnant with her second child in 2020.
«I didn’t trust myself to immediately respond personally on social media. After several days of consultations with mentors in my community, CHB decided to suspend all trainings and offerings indefinitely. We will be offering full refunds to our clients and students», - she also said via Instagram.
Domino is the daughter of legendary drummer Simon Kirke from the English bands Free and Bad Company. Simon and his ex-wife Lorraine Kirke are the parents of Domino, as well as three other children, including «Girls» actress Jemima Kirke. Their daughter Lola Kirke is also an actress, best known for roles in «Gone» and «Mozart in the Jungle». Simon and Lorraine also raise their son Simon Kirke Jr.
Domino has been singing since childhood. She studied at a school where she learned classical vocal and piano. After being discovered at 17, Domino was signed to Andre Levin’s label «Fun Machine». She was part of the group DOMINO and even recorded an EP with Mark Ronson. Domino toured with Lily Allen for many years.

Domino has a son, Cassius, 12, from her ex Morgan O’Kane. She gave birth to her second child with Penn named James Badgley in August 2020. James was a rainbow baby for Domino, as he was conceived after two miscarriages.
