Two identical twin sisters found their life partners in a group of identical twin brothers.
Venessa and Kerissa Sealby were never interested in dating twin brothers until they met their husbands, Lucas and Jacob. If you had asked them before, both women would have told you that they were not attracted to the same men. In fact, Venessa, 28, said Today who thought the idea of dating twin brothers was “creepy.”
Speaking to the outlet, the Sealby sisters, who now share children with their respective husbands, detailed their journey to falling in love with another set of identical siblings.
The two sets of siblings met in June 2020. Venessa was working as a personal trainer at the time. One of her clients had mentioned that she knew similar “sporty” identical twin brothers.
Venessa recalled her client saying, “She said, 'You and Kerissa ran at the University of Oregon, they ran at Washington State, and I think you'd be the perfect couple.'”
His client added that he thought Venessa would like Lucas more. Venessa then agreed to let him give him her number, but he made it clear that he wouldn't contact her first. It wasn't long before Lucas sent her a text message invitation asking if she and Kerissa wanted to meet them at her apartment in Medford, Oregon.
Venessa's client's prediction was correct: Venessa liked Lucas and Kerissa liked Jacob. Venessa admitted that she and Lucas were the “outgoing twins” and that they both “spoke up” for her brother while she was growing up.
“As soon as we got in the car, I looked at Kerissa and said, 'I'm calling mom because I'm going to marry that man,'” Venessa recalled. Today.
Kerissa said: “Jacob went on a one-on-one date and I was like, 'Okay. “This is really happening.” “Everything seemed crazy.”
Venessa and Lucas tied the knot in October 2022, while Kerissa and Jacob said “I do” in June 2023. Venessa and Lucas welcomed daughter Adrian in October 2023. Kerissa and Jacob share a 19-year-old daughter months, Sophie. Because Sophie and Adrian are descendants of two sets of identical twins, they are cousins and quaternary twins.
“Although not well researched, this is a rare phenomenon that occurs when a pair of identical twins have children with another set of twins in a short period of time, usually less than nine months,” states WebMD. “The two children do not share parents or the same DNA. “They are cousins, but genetically they are closer to siblings born to the same parents.”
Now, the two couples and their small families share a close-knit life and live like next-door neighbors. “We live two steps from each other. We are constantly going back and forth to each other's houses. “I'm at Vanessa's house probably 10 times a day,” Kerissa confessed.
The independent Venessa and Kerissa have been contacted for comment.
