“We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family”, shares the American Minister.
United States Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced on Saturday (September 4) that he and her husband, Chasten Buttigieg, have welcomed twins.
“We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family,” the 2020 presidential candidate wrote in a tweet which featured a photo of Chasten and him holding their baby twins.
Pete Buttigieg, an openly gay Prime Minister confirmed by the Senate , announced last month that he and her husband had become parents, but that the process was not “over yet”.
“For quite some time, Chasten and I have wanted to expand our family,” he wrote at the time. “We are delighted to share that we have become parents! The process is not yet complete and we are grateful for the love, support and respect for our privacy that have been offered to us. We look forward to sharing more soon. ”
Chasten Buttigieg had told the Washington Post in an article published in July that he and her husband had been trying to adopt for about a year, calling the process a “really strange cycle of anger, frustration and hope.”
He and Pete Buttigieg tied the knot in June 2018 in South Bend, Indiana, where Pete Buttigieg was mayor at the time.
