Molly Ringwald Gossip

Molly Ringwald gave birth to twins - a boy and a girl - on Friday!

The Secret Life of the American Teenager star has not yet released her newborns' names, but the healthy twins join older sister Mathilda Ereni, 5.

The former '80s film star isn't concerned about the age difference.

"I think it's a good thing considering we're having twins," Ringwald, 41, told Fit Pregnancy. "It would be so harder with a toddler than an almost 6-year-old."

"It's exciting, especially since it's a boy and girl. It’s the best of both worlds."

The dad is her husband, Panio Gianopoulos.

Her ABC family series is currently still in production on its second season, and while her role was reduced to accommodate her maternity leave, Molly - whose pregnancy was written into the show - reportedly shot several scenes ahead of time.

Congrats to Molly and Panio on the birth of their baby twins! We just hope for her sake that she doesn't have sextuplets after this. One day all is well. The next, your husband wakes up and wants a divorce and starts dating Hailey Glassman.

Former Brat Pack mainstay Molly Ringwald is pregnant with twins - one boy and one girl - that are due in August, according to People Magazine.

This will be the second daughter and the first son for the star of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, 40, and her husband Panio Gianopoulos, 33.

A spokeswoman for her current TV show, ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager, said Ringwald's pregnancy will be written into the show.

So on that show, we'll not only have a pregnant 15-year-old, but a pregnant mother as well. They're like a regular Spears or Palin family! Cute stuff.

Molly Ringwald is totally pregnant - with babies #2 and #3!

Other prominent TV actresses who are currently pregnant - such as Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford, Ugly Betty's Ana Ortiz and Grey's Anatomy's Chyler Leigh - will not have their baby bumps written into their respective shows.

Congrats to Molly and her hubby!
