Diana Krall and Elvis Costello welcome twin boys: Dexter and Frank
Singer Diana Krall, 42, has given birth to her and musician hubby Elvis Costello’s twins – both boys. According to the couple’s rep, the boys, named Dexter Henry Lorcan and Frank Harlan James, were born on Dec. 6 in New York City. Diana made it to 40 weeks with the twins – fabulous for multiples. No word on if the boys are fraternal or identical, weights, or lengths.
"Mother and sons are doing splendidly," the rep says. And the couple have released a statement saying, "We are ecstatic!"
The couple married on December 5, 2003 and announced Diana’s pregnancy in June. They did know they were having boys, but chose to keep the sexes private.
The babies join older half brother Matthew, 31, from Elvis’ first marriage.

That has to be the best gift for a third year wedding anniversary – even if the gift was a day late. Congrats! I like the names.

I can totally sympathize. I carried my twin boys to 38 weeks. I was soo huge and miserable. But They are so healthy and adorable.

Wow! Elvis Costello with babies in tow… that’s something I’d love to see.
I do have to say he and Diana make a lovely couple; these are very lucky little boys. Just think of the lullabies!

A Note From Diana…
[posted 3/13/2007]
Thank you for all your good wishes and enquires since the 6th of December. Dexter and Frank are grand little boys and full of beans. Sleep often seems like a distant memory but we are all having a wonderful time.
The boys certainly seem to love the music we play for them, whether it is Cat Anderson, Howlin’ Wolf or “Nellie the Elephant”. I have even been able to play the piano for them on occasion without complaint. I look forward to seeing you sometime this summer.
