Gary Owen Celebrates His Twins' First Birthday with Adorable Photos

Owen, who welcomed the twins with fiancée Brianna Johnson, reflects on fatherhood and the unique experiences of raising mixed-race children.

On Monday (July 15), Gary Owen shared pictures of his new twins, Royal Blu and Rome Bohdi, whom he shares with his new fiancée, Brianna Johnson, in honor of their first birthday.

“Happy 1st birthday to my boys. Still trying to figure out how I got twins and one looks like @joeyb_9 & one looks like @cj7stroud [laughing emojis]. You never know what you getting with mixed babies. #RoRo #OldA**Daddy #Twins,” the comedian wrote as the caption on his Instagram page. Take a look at the photos below.

As reported by BET, during an episode of Shannon Sharpe’s "Club Shay Shay," which was published in May, Owen confirmed that he welcomed twin boys. "One's white, one's Black. One's got blue eyes...the other one [has] brown eyes," he said. "The twins are awesome. They're in that idolizing dad phase."

The Cincinnati native is also the father to son Austin and daughter Kennedy with his ex-wife, Kenya Duke, whom he divorced in 2021. He revealed that he has no relationship with those kids. "Didn't think I wanted to be a father again," he told Sharpe. "I didn't do it wrong the first time. I was very conscious about how I spoke to them, how we disciplined them, I never put them down. I was the fun dad…It sucks too because my kids don't know them. They don't have a relationship with them. I don't want them to meet when they're four or five."
