Penn Badgley's Religion Explained: Everything to Know About His Beliefs, Family, and Values
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
In early 2017, Badgley married Domino Kirke, an English-American musician, full-spectrum doula, and co-founder of Carriage House Birth. The couple held two ceremonies: a low-key civil gathering at a Brooklyn courthouse followed by an outdoor celebration in upstate New York. Their union reflects a deeply modern, values-driven partnership.
Kirke was raised in an artistic, eclectic environment, while Badgley brought his Bahá'í practice into the home. Rather than clashing, their shared focus on human service created common ground. Kirke’s frontline work supporting women through childbirth, postpartum depression, and infant loss dovetails naturally with Badgley’s religious commitment to community welfare. In 2020, the couple welcomed a son, James, while co-parenting Cassius, Kirke’s son from a previous relationship. Badgley has frequently stated that the daily labor of parenting and maintaining a peaceful home provides a much clearer gauge of spiritual health than public acclaim.
