The comedian presented the announcement as though he were revealing a major family secret. He even tagged Common, jokingly apologizing that he had to discover the news that way and suggesting that the two men could put their differences aside and work together as co-parents.
A Celebrity Announcement With A Twist
The post was written in such a convincing way that anyone seeing it without context could easily mistake it for genuine baby news.
Owen described the supposed twins as a secret that had been kept for quite some time, adding to the dramatic effect. His message was clearly designed to play with the kind of unexpected celebrity announcement that can instantly dominate social media.
But there was an important detail behind the post: it was a joke.
There were no secret twin daughters shared by Owen and Haddish.
