Pete Buttigieg (right), his husband Chasten, and their children (Twitter) US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten have joyfully welcomed two babies into their lives. The men announced last month that they were becoming dads but said that “the process isn’t done yet.” On Saturday, it became official when the happy couple revealed the names of their children in a Twitter post. “Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents,” they said. “We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family.” They also posted a loved-up black and white photo of themselves holding their bundles of joy.
