Uh uh I can smell the fertility treatment discussion coming.

Anyway twins mean double the joy to me.
I'm so happy to see two new babies inheriting the Jolie-Pitts genes. Shiloh is just lovely and I'm sure Vivienne will be too and I really hope Knox will get his dad's looks.

All their children are equally cute of course but it's interesting to see people whose beauty you admire passing on their genes.

I think a lot of the people having twins do use fertility drugs, especially the ones older in age, and it seems like every celebrity is having twins nowadays lol.

i had triplets and didnt use fertility treatments

Posted by: a at Jul 14, 2008 12:28:20 PM

I don't think the celebrity's are getting twins because of fertility treatments.

Twins runs in most families. And how older you get, how more change you have to get multiples.

In my family there are already 5 sets of twins, as I know.

Is it something in the water??

Thank you for posting this. It's cool to see what name combos everyone chooses. My favorite is Juno and Rex.

Don't forget Dave Matthews and his wife Ashley Harper had twin girls Grace Anne and Stella Busina in 2002!

Phoenix Suns player Steve Nash and his wife Alejandra had fraternal twin girls Lola (Lourdes) and Bella (Isabella) in December 2004.

Don't forget about Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton). He has triplet daughters Barbara, Gwyneth and Pilar born in 1981.

i was wondering if it was confirmed that Diane Farr was having two daughters or one? i know she had that shirt on when she was playing with her son but i never saw any news that she confirmed it so i was just wondering

Joan Lunden has had two set of twins using IVF and a surrogate.

Posted by: paula at Jul 15, 2008 2:53:12 PM

It's interesting to see that no one has had identical multiples. I know they are more rare, but in all these years you would think someone would have had some identical ones.

In my family I had a grandfather with an identical twin, my aunt has identical twin girls and I have fraternal twin nephews! So twins def. runs in my family!!

Sara:

Rapper/Actor Sean "P.Diddy" Combs and his model girlfriend Kim Porter had identical twin girls in Dec. 2007 (not sure about the month). Jessie James and D'lhea Star I think are their names
