The moment we Too Hot To Handle fans have been waiting for is finally here! On Nov. 11, Too Hot To Handle star Francesca Farago and her fiancé, Jesse Sullivan, welcomed their twins. A few days later, on Nov. 17, Farago and Sullivan revealed the twin’s names, which are Poetry Lucia & Locket Romance Sullivan.
“Poetry Lucia & Locket Romance Sullivan our two little angels made a surprise appearance via emergency c section at 36 weeks and 5 days at 7:31 & 7:33AM on 11/11
,” Farago captioned a photo of the twins feet with gold name necklaces. “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
”
Sullivan shared a similar photo on his Instagram along with a caption that shared details of the twin’s birth. “Welcome to the world Poetry Lucia Sullivan and Locket Romance Sullivan. My kids will change the world,” he captioned the post. “On 11.11.24 around 4am, as I finished the final touches on our nursery, we unexpectedly rushed to the hospital due to concerning symptoms francesca was having. 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. 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!’ From that point everything happened so fast. Baby boy was born at 7:31am, baby girl was born at 7:33am. I cut their chords, and in that moment as I watched Francesca see her babies for the first time, I thought back to the doctor handing me Arlo. I knew in that moment my life is the life I’ve always dreamed of. 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.”
Just a few hours after the twins were born, Farago shared the details of the babies’s arrival on her Snapchat after undergoing a caesarian section.
“They’re like, ‘We’re taking these babies out right this second,'” she said on Snapchat. “I literally didn’t even have time to think. I was like, do you mind if I film two TikToks quick?”
Farago revealed that when the twins were born, she was on too many painkillers to fully comprehend what was happening. “It was just a blur,” she said. “Jesse went and cut the umbilical cords.”
She added, “Baby boy was born at 7:31 and baby girl was born at 7:33. They were perfect. So sweet, so cute.”
Farago later added, “I always had a thought that the girl was going to look exactly like me and the boy was going to look like you and Arlo,” she shared. “They didn’t. Right when they both came out, she looked like Arlo when Arlo was a baby and he looked like me. They both have really curly hair.”
A few weeks after getting engaged in 2023, Farago spoke out about her plans to start a family with Sullivan, who came out as a transgender man in 2019. “We have everything planned out,” Farago shared on an episode of the Sofia With an F podcast. “We’re probably going to try and get the eggs this summer. We need to get his eggs and mine and put them in a dish and fertilize them.” The couple always planned to have twins and that ended up coming true when Farago was ready to carry.
In March 2024, the couple shared a joint post on Instagram announcing that Farago was pregnant. The post included photos of Farago and Sullivan from their childhoods, their IVF journey, and a positive pregnancy test. In their joint post, the couple wrote, “We wanted to take this special day to celebrate this amazing milestone with all of you. We’ve brought you with us through the loss, so we couldn’t wait to bring you along for the win. I am still pretty newly pregnant, and there’s so much more to come, but we are so excited to be growing our family with Arlo as the coolest older sibling! AHH IM PREGNANT!”
Four months later, Farago and Sullivan threw a gender reveal party, where they excitedly announced that they were expecting a baby boy and a baby girl. “So I know I didn’t gather you all around just to hear how much I love this woman. I know you’re really here because you want to know what babies are we having,” Sullivan said during the gender reveal. “So, we are so happy to announce that we are welcoming a son and a daughter.”
Although Farago and Sullivan’s pregnancy journey has been exciting, it hasn’t been an easy one. On Oct. 25, Farago shared an Instagram post detailing how an ultrasound led her having to stay in the hospital for a couple days due to a health scare. In the caption of post, she wrote, “Went in for our regular weekly ultrasound & ended up spending the last few days in the hospital mentally preparing for an emergency c section Twins almost made a surprise appearance, all while we were organizing a huge move (finally) into the house I’ve been renovating for two years! but we’re back home now
babies are doing good, I’m doing great. Hopefully can keep them cooking for 10 more days (36 weeks)
& moving into the new house next week now instead!
all updates on my snap!

It seems like everything Farago and Sullivan went through during their pregnancy journey was all worth it in the end as they’re now parents to two little bundles of joy! I, for one, couldn’t be happier for them.
