Too Hot to Handle’s Francesca Farago Welcomes Twins with Fiancé Jesse Sullivan: ‘Perfect Angels

Francesca Farago, the popular reality star from Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, has just unveiled the names of her newborn twins with fiancé Jesse Sullivan. In a heartwarming Instagram post shared on November 17, 2024, Farago introduced the world to her two “little angels,” Poetry Lucia and Locket Romance Sullivan, revealing that the twins made a surprise early arrival via emergency C-section at 36 weeks and 5 days.

In the emotional post, Farago shared a sweet snapshot of her babies’ tiny feet, adorned with gold anklets bearing their names. She also provided an intimate glimpse into the whirlwind experience that led to their birth. “Our two little angels made a surprise appearance via emergency c-section at 36 weeks and 5 days at 7:31 & 7:33 AM on 11/11🥹,” she wrote. “Locket weighed 5 pounds 10 ounces & Poetry weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces! I’ve never been more in love but I’ve also never had more anxiety😅 they’re perfect😭🤍✨.”

The names they chose for their daughters—Poetry and Locket—are as unique and meaningful as their journey to parenthood. The couple’s decision to give their children such distinctive names reflects their shared creative vision and the love they have for their growing family.

A Surprising and Fast-Paced Birth

The journey to the twins’ birth was anything but ordinary. Jesse Sullivan shared his own account of the unexpected rush to the hospital. In an emotional post of his own, Sullivan reflected on the fast-paced series of events that led to the birth of his daughters. “Welcome to the world Poetry Lucia Sullivan and Locket Romance Sullivan. My kids will change the world. 🖤,” he wrote on Instagram, a sentiment that clearly speaks to his hopes for his daughters’ futures.

Sullivan recalled how he and Farago were preparing for their children’s arrival by finishing the final touches on the nursery when Farago suddenly began experiencing concerning symptoms. “I brought her suitcase and hospital bag just in case, but felt as though it was possible we’d be back in our bed the same night,” Sullivan explained. However, things took a quick turn. “We got her settled in the room as they checked her out, I went to grab Starbucks. Within 2 minutes of me stepping back in the room, multiple doctors rushed in handing us surgery caps and said ‘happy birthday twins, we’re delivering them in 20 minutes!’”

The speed at which everything unfolded left the couple in a whirlwind of emotions. “Everything happened so fast,” Sullivan continued. “Francesca is the best mom in the world already, and I know we’re going to raise the best little humans together, along with big sibling Arlo🖤.” Arlo, Sullivan’s eldest child, is already proving to be a doting big sibling, excited to welcome his new sisters into the family.

Love, Anxiety, and Parenthood

In her Instagram post, Francesca Farago expressed both overwhelming love for her daughters and the anxiety that comes with parenthood. “I’ve never been more in love but I’ve also never had more anxiety,” she admitted, reflecting the complex mix of emotions that many new parents experience. “They’re perfect,” Farago wrote, capturing the deep sense of awe she felt in the wake of becoming a mother to two beautiful babies.

Farago and Sullivan’s journey to parenthood has been anything but conventional, and they’ve been open about their experience with IVF and their decision to use a sperm donor. Farago previously spoke about the misconceptions people often have when it comes to queer couples and biological parenthood. “A lot of people automatically go to saying that we’re just adoptive parents. … That’s really just people being ignorant and don’t realize queer couples exist and they have existed and adoptive families exist,” she shared with Us Weekly earlier in her pregnancy.

Throughout her pregnancy, Farago expressed both excitement and anxiety about the challenges of becoming a mother. “It’s kind of scary,” she said at the time, explaining how the anxiety of worrying something might go wrong often consumed her. Yet, despite the fear, she also found joy in the experience. “I love being pregnant. I love feeling my belly grow, and every time we see the babies it just feels surreal that it’s happening.”

As the couple’s journey continues, they are looking forward to embracing their new roles as parents. “I think I’m just going to naturally mold into it and know what to do instinctively,” Farago said, expressing confidence that her maternal instincts would kick in once she held her babies in her arms.
