The Walking Dead star Tom Payne and his model wife Jennifer Akerman return to the red carpet as they attend The Bikeriders premiere after 'unexpectedly' welcoming twins

No, it wasn't an All Fools Day prank - Jennifer Akerman and Tom Payne really did unexpectedly welcome twins on April 1.

But the couple grabbed a few precious hours for themselves on Monday evening while attending the Los Angeles premiere of The Bikeriders. 

Swedish model Jennifer, 34 - the half-sister of actress Malin Akerman - looked stunning in a fitted ankle-length dress with a plunging neckline as she joined the film's principal cast at Hollywood venue TCL Chinese Theater. 

She completed the look with a casual denim jacket and black leather cowboy boots, while a statement choker and accompanying gold chain appeared to be her only accessories. 

The statuesque model towered over husband Tom, 41 - best known for his role as Jesus Rovia in The Walking Dead - as they showered one another with affection on the red carpet.

The English star matched his wife by wearing a denim jacket of his own over a casual white T-shirt and contrasting black skinny jeans. 

Tom and Jennifer married in December 2020 after the COVID-10 pandemic thwarted their plans to walk down the aisle in April of that year.

The couple announced in November 2021 that Jennifer was pregnant with their first child, son Harrison.  

The couple recently confirmed to PEOPLE that they were taken by 'surprise' when Jennifer gave birth to identical twins.

'We are overjoyed to share the news that on April 1st, 2024, we welcomed twins into our family! An entirely unexpected and wonderful surprise,' they shared.

They said that Harrison is 'over the moon to have not one but two new siblings.'

Tom added: 'Jennifer and I have joked that he had something to do with this because there's nothing he likes more than a house full of people.'

Along with their birth announcement, the couple was 'excited' to reveal that they will be launching a podcast this month, where they'll discuss the 'unique birth.'
