Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan are experiencing the whirlwind of life with twin babies.
The couple, who welcomed daughter Poetry Lucia Sullivan and son Locket Romance Sullivan on Nov. 11, reflected on how much their lives have changed in the month since becoming parents.
“These babies keep us up all night,” Francesca shared in a Dec. 11 TikTok video featuring Jesse and their twins.
“Life with two newborns is crazy. My brain still doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked since the pregnancy. My brain belongs to these little babies.”
The Too Hot to Handle alum and the TikTok creator—who got engaged in April 2023—revealed that their twins already have distinct personalities and a special bond. “They love being together,” Francesca said.
“They love cuddling.” Jesse added, “If one’s fussing, we’ll put the other one next to whoever’s fussing, and they instantly realize each other is there.”
Despite acknowledging the challenges of parenthood, Francesca expressed joy about being a new mom. “Time is going by so fast,” she admitted.
“I’m trying to soak up every single second, even though this newborn phase is really hard—physically, emotionally, mentally. I just stare at them literally all day. I cannot stop staring at them.”
Jesse, who is also dad to 16-year-old Arlo Bear from a previous relationship, praised Francesca for how naturally she has embraced motherhood.
“I can see from the outside how much she’s changed,” he shared. “Just loving them and, like, how she watches over them. You can just see the mother love in her eyes when she’s staring at them.”
The couple also shared the sentimental stories behind their babies’ unique names.
Jesse explained that the name Locket was inspired by a golden locket he gifted Francesca on their first Valentine’s Day, featuring pictures of Arlo, their dog, and their cats.
“We fell in love with the name Locket,” he said. “We said this really early on that if we ever have a kid, we want to name him or her Locket.”
As for their daughter’s name, Poetry, Jesse noted that it reflects the beauty and emotion they associate with the word.
“We just thought that the feeling it gives you when you hear it and say it is so beautiful, and she’s so beautiful, so it fits her. We like names that feel romantic in general.”
