The "Gossip Girl" star shares a stepson and a biological son with his wife, singer Domino Kirke.
Penn Badgley knows the many ways that one can be a parent.
The “You” star, who is married to singer Domino Kirke, shares a 15-year-old stepson, Cassius, with his wife. The couple also have a young son of their own.
Badgley opened up about parenting both in a candid episode of The New York Times’ “Modern Love” podcast, which was released Wednesday.
“I have an interesting situation where I have a biological son and a stepson,” the “Gossip Girl” actor said. “And my stepson is ― his father is very much in his life, so his father is his father, and I’m ― I’m something else. So I have two different parental roles.
“And then my biological son is only 3 1/2, so that’s a very different thing too. I’m going to need to be able to more consciously show him my vulnerability as he gets older in those years.”
