After a whirlwind romance, the two couples got married together on August 5, 2018 and now live in the same house in Virginia. US.
Brittany and Briana, both in their 30s, got pregnant around the same time. In January 2021, Jeremy and Briana welcomed their son, Jax.
Just a few months later, in April, the family expanded with Josh and Brittany’s son Jett.
The two little toddlers are actually quadruple twins, meaning they are also cousins and genetic siblings.
The special family regularly offers a glimpse into their lives on Instagram, where they have no fewer than 322,000 fans.
In a more recent post, the twins revealed how they decided who would date who — and it all had to do with the timing of their births.
“We were paired up based on our birth order, not on purpose… it was natural gravity!
“Briana and Jeremy are both the oldest twins. They fell in love and got married. Brittany and Josh are both the youngest twins.
“They fell in love and got married too.”
After the post was shared, it received thousands of likes and comments. One person wrote: “Perfect for each other.”
Another added: “Am I the only one who thinks they switch sometimes?”
Brittany previously told USA Today: ”I Just think of the many people in the dating world, especially singles, who are looking for their other half.
“We both already had other halves – literal other halves – and we had both had previous experiences dating people who resented the fact that they weren’t considered the other half.
How common are identical twins?
According to the NHS, everyone has the same chance of having identical twins: around 1 in 250.
Identical twins do not run in families. However, there are a number of factors that make it more likely that there will be non-identical twins: Non-identical twins are more common in some ethnic groups, with the highest rate among Nigerians and the lowest among Japanese, the experts stated.
If you are pregnant and over 35, you are more likely to have fraternal twins. This is because more than one egg is released during ovulation.
Fraternal twins are more common on the mother’s side of the family, probably due to an inherited tendency to release more than one egg.
“But the four of us all understand the twin thing.”
The two sisters had been in relationships with twins who were not twins, or “singletons” as they called them, but they always dreamed of marrying another identical twin.
After having their children, the family of six now lives under one roof.
“We are in ‘parental captivity’ ourselves and everything is non-stop! We are so happy with our two baby boys,” Briana chuckled.
“As we expand our families, we hope to have overlapping pregnancies together again.”
