IDENTICAL TWINS MEET AND MARRY IDENTICAL TWINS
Have you ever
wondered what would happen if two identical sisters married two identical brothers and they both had babies at the same time?
It turns out, the answer is ‘quaternary twins’ – which means that, while the babies are technically cousins, they’re also genetically brothers.
Twins Briana and Brittany Deane, 35, from Virginia, and twins Josh and Jeremy Salyers are parents to Jax and Jett – who are just three months apart in age.
Because Jax and Jett – who are both one –
share the same DNA, they are genetically brothers and the family is one of just 300 quaternary families in the world.
Speaking with NBC News, Brittany – mum to Jett and married to Josh – said the boy’s unique situation makes them more closely-related than average cousins.
‘They were born to identical twin parents less than nine months apart. Twins married to twins who both have babies at the same time,’ Brittany said.
And the foursome, who are well-known on
Instagram, even share a home – and a bank account.
Jeremy told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I feel like I’m Jett’s parent and I think [Josh] feels the same way about Jax.
