The comedian (who roasted President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner last week) and her wife, Alex, welcomed twins on April 27, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

"All are happy and healthy and at home," Sykes' rep told Us Wednesday.

Alex gave birth to the couple's first children, daughter Olivia Lou and son Lucas Claude. Olivia weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz., and was 19 inches long. Lucas was born at 7 lbs., 9 oz., and was an inch taller than his sister.

The New Adventures of Old Christine star met her female partner in 2006, and the two got married on Oct. 25, 2008 in California. It wasn't until November, however, that the actress publicly came out at a same-sex marriage rally regarding Proposition 8 in Las Vegas.

Sykes split from David Hall in 1998 after seven years of marriage.

    Gays are not going anywhere.. and no person can judge another person. Read your bible and you would know that not one sin is greater then the other. And if you are sinless and perfect you would not be on earth you would be in heaven somewhere. Congrats to Wanda and her wife. They were married before this prop 8 crap so California has to recognize their MARRIAGE.. in California. :-)

    "Homo phobe" is a minomer. It denotes "Fear of"- it isn't a matter of "fear' at all- it's a matter of gays and lesbians unable to accept the fact that the majority rules in this country. A "No' on any proposition is the basis of democracy. That's what voting is all about.

    Congratulations, Wanda!!! I think Wanda is too funny. To h*ll with anyone who only has negative things to say...as if Wanda cares anyway. Wanda is gay and it is what it is. I am sure she is not going to stop being a lesbian because some people on Yahoo posted their ugly opinions about it. I wish Wanda, her wife and her new babies all the best!

    Being gay goes against nature, pure and simple. You can think it, but to ACT upon it, thats where it gets too freaky. Nature made man parts and women parts to hook up. I mean look at puzzle pieces: yeah, theyr all pieces you can just snap together any way u want , but in the end what you got ain't a complete PICTURE, you know what I mean???
