The actor sat down with former football player Shannon Sharpe for a conversation on his podcast Club Shay Shay recently and shared the news.
After Sharpe addressed him, Owen was surprised that the information regarding his twins was already out and known by some people.
“I don’t know if this is true,” Sharpe started.
“But there’s a report that you just recently welcomed twins?”
Owen laughed in disbelief.
“D**n, you know everything,” he replied.
“I did.”
Owen also said that he didn’t think he wanted to be a father again but is excited to be a dad in his twins’ lives after the type of relationship he’s been able to have with his older children.

“It’s two-fold,” he admitted.
“Didn’t see myself being a dad but I think not having a relationship with my kids, you know? The twins now, they’re awesome.”
The father said his twins are around nine or 10 months old.
After Sharpe congratulated him, Owen shared an interesting detail about his new babies.
“One’s white and one’s black,” he stated.
The comedian went on to say that one of the twins has blue eyes and the other has brown eyes.
“You can tell by the nipples and the balls,” he added.
GARY OWEN’S EX WIFE
Owen’s fans have been wanting to know more about his wife following the conversation he had with Sharpe on Club Shay Shay recently.
He was married to Kenya Duke from 2003 until 2021.
Duke is an entrepreneur and also hosts a podcast.
She is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.
The couple had a divorce that was very public – after a drawn-out battle, it was finalized in 2021.
“I’m sure you guys have heard, I’m going through a very very messy, public divorce,” Owen said in a clip he posted yesterday of him doing a stand-up comedy show.
“Thought it was going to be private, wife had other plans. It is what it is, what are you gonna do? I ain’t the first one to get a divorce.”
Duke and Owen welcomed two children together.
They have a son named Austin and a daughter named Kennedy.
Duke has a child from a previous marriage, named Emilio.
Gary Owen did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
