Brandon’s message overflowed with affection as he hailed Sidibe for her roles as a wife and mother. “Happy Happy Birthday to the queen of our universe, @gabbysidibe! Not sure how us three got so lucky to have you as our Husband and Mama respectively, but you’re everyone’s absolute favourite person in our home,” he shared in a lengthy caption that showcased his deep appreciation for his spouse.
Frankel went on to highlight Sidibe’s stellar qualities, describing her as an “incredible wife, mother, friend, and basically everything you do.” He commended her for being thoughtful, caring, quick-witted, and a source of constant joy to the family. The heartfelt message concluded with wishes for nothing but the best for Sidibe in the upcoming year, echoing the sentiment, “We love you so so so so much!”
Moreover, Frankel infused a touch of humour into his tribute, joking about Sidibe’s seemingly ageless appearance, which he jokingly attributed to her being a “witch.” His playful tone added a layer of warmth to the tribute, making it clear that their family life is filled with love and light-hearted moments.
In April, the couple celebrated their twins’ second birthday with an unforgettable outing at Love Always Sanctuary in California. Frankel shared various photos from the event, capturing their children’s joy as they interacted with a variety of animals. He remarked on the thrill his children felt in meeting chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, and more, commenting on how their love for animals is a significant part of their daily life.
Reflecting on the birthday celebration, Frankel expressed how delighted he was to see Cooper and Maya so engaged and excited. “The twins had such a good time they’re always asking when we’re going back to ‘Oh MacDamo’s farm’,” he wrote, conveying the adventurous spirit of their family outings and the cherished memories they were creating together.
Frankel also took a moment to share his emotions about parenting, describing the journey as “a wild, beautiful, hilarious, and exhausting ride.” His words resonate with many parents who understand the complexities and joys of raising children. His announcement of having “two TWO YEAR OLDS” perfectly encapsulated the bittersweet nature of parenthood: the fleeting time and the joyful chaos that comes with it.
