We’re here to celebrate Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan’s new little ones!

Perhaps you know bisexual reality star Francesca Farago from Too Hot to Handle or the time she was on Perfect Match and told everyone she once pulled a woman’s tampon out with her teeth. Or maybe you, like me, found Jesse through his TikToks of his life as a single Dad raising a gender fluid teenager named Arlo. Or maybe you came to know them both at the same time when they started dating and went on an IVF journey to grow their little family.

This week, Francesca and Jesse welcomed twins into the world, twins that they revealed at their “chromosome reveal party” that would be a boy and a girl. Their names are “Poetry Lucia” and “Locket Romance,” joining the ranks of other unique celebrity baby names. I wonder if North West and Blue Ivy have a club that Poetry and Locket can join someday.

Francesca and Jesse have talked at length about their IVF journey, and how Francesca was grateful to be able to lean on Jesse, who has been through pregnancy before, as they prepared for their little ones to arrive.

Jesse also talked briefly about some transphobia he encountered when it came time for the birth certificates, and Francesca says the birth itself – an early birth andan emergency c-section – was a bit of a blur, but the new family of five is now home. Congratulations to the happy family!
