Celebrity Twins for 2007

As if 2006 hasn’t already been the year of the Gemini, producing so many twin births that we can’t even keep up, it seems the trend will continue into the new year. Here’s a look at just some of the celebrities expecting twins in 2007:

Marcia Cross & Tom Mahoney, expecting fraternal twins
Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has had a whirlwind year and the fun is only going to continue for this primetime actress. 44-year-old Marcia married her beau, stockbroker Tom Mahoney, after many years of wondering if she would ever get her fairytale of having her very own family. As if marrying the man she loved wasn’t enough, shortly after the couple’s June nuptials, Marcia found out that she was expecting and not just one baby, but fraternal twins. Marcia and Tom have recently admitted that theyknow the sex or sexes of their babies, who are due in April, but will keep that secret for now.

Patrick Dempsey & Jillian Fink, expecting twin boys
Shortly after sharing his desire for a sibling for his 4-year-old daughter Tallulah, Patrick Dempsey aka Dr. McDreamy, announced that his wife Jillian was in fact pregnant with their second child. However, the joke was on him, when the couple found out that they were expecting babies two… and three. The family are awaiting two baby boys (presumably fraternal twins) due in late January.
