Penn Badgley’s Dark Secret About Playing His Ex’s Boyfriend

BBG News

Penn Badgley had a unique red-carpet experience alongside his spouse, Domino Kirke, during a special showing of their series “You.

On Tuesday, the expectant parents, full of joy as they’re having twins, gleamed with delight while attending a viewing of season five at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Gently, both Domino (aged 41) and Penn (aged 38) held their baby bump while striking various poses on the red carpet.

The pregnant woman showed off her stylish flair for maternity wear in a flowing red gown, featuring voluminous sleeve designs reminiscent of puffs.

Her spouse sharpened up in a mocha suit with matching tie.

While en route to the event, Domino offered fans a close-up view of her bump.

In my latest Instagram post, I captured the journey to the event with a behind-the-wheel perspective, ensuring a better look at my growing bump. Accompanying the video, I penned down, “Here I come, @younetflix!

The couple announced their expanding family in February.

In an Instagram post, Kirke excitedly announced that there will be two more additions to the family this summer – babies number three and four! She referred to this surprising news as an unexpected turn of events, or in other words, a plot twist. Kirke expressed her amazement at the spontaneous arrival of twins, describing them as nothing short of magical.

Overjoyed by the sweet news, I couldn’t help but feel my heart swell with happiness upon seeing that beautiful announcement picture. There, nestled within it, was a snapshot of Kirke’s expanding baby bump, graced by the loving kisses of Badgley and their adorable four-year-old son James on her belly. It was a moment so tender, I could feel my own heart echoing with their affectionate embrace.

In a new development, Kirke finds herself blessed with an even happier household as she becomes a mother figure to her 15-year-old son Cassius from a past relationship, enriching their growing family.

In a return to smaller screens, Penn will portray his character Joe in the fifth and concluding season of “You” on April 24th.

Netflix has dubbed the upcoming last season ‘a killer finale.’

In the grand finale of its fifth season, Joe Goldberg comes back to New York seeking a contented future… but that tranquility is disrupted when specters from his previous life and his own sinister impulses emerge as threats. (This version aims to maintain the original’s tone while providing a more straightforward rephrasing.)

Penn rose to fame playing Dan Humphrey on the CW soap opera Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012. 

Apart from his professional achievements, it’s worth noting that he was romantically linked with his TV partner, Blake Lively, who portrayed the character Serena van der Woodsen. Their relationship spanned from 2007 until 2012 on and off-screen.

But for Penn, the relationship caused him to blur the lines between fiction and reality. 

On a recent episode of “Call Her Daddy,” the actor admitted it had been challenging for him to balance his real-life romance with Blake and portraying her partner in the series.

Over an extended period in that particular role, the celebrity element becomes significant, and I believe it leads to insufficient boundaries for everyone involved.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “In both personal and professional settings, people recognize me and expect me to consistently embody my role.

Penn, who portrayed Brooklyn scholarship student Dan Humphrey, mentioned that many individuals frequently saw him as identical to his character.

At the age of twenty, I was still learning. As I turned twenty-one and twenty-two, my emotional maturity wasn’t fully developed yet. In other words, I hadn’t learned how to value myself appropriately during that time.

It appeared that how others viewed Dan was similar to how they viewed me. Recently, I gained enough awareness, understanding, self-respect, and fairness, and I couldn’t help but feel troubled by this resemblance, without completely losing my identity.

In 2009, Blake admitted to Glamour magazine that she had created tension among the cast towards Penn when he initially joined the show by spreading negative feelings about him.

Initially, I was really angry when they chose him for the job, but later on, I managed to turn everyone else against him, as she confessed.

Initially, I found him rather off-putting, assuming he was just another arrogant individual. However, as time went by, I began to perceive his true nature – kind and endearing. It only took me a day or so to see this, but acknowledging it to myself required approximately a week’s worth of self-reflection.

Currently, Blake is engaged in a significant legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, her director and co-star from “It Ends With Us,” concerning their work on the movie and subsequent events.
