Their respective mothers are twins, the same for their fathers. Result: these cousins have a DNA similar to two brothers. Explanations.
Monozygotic twinsBrittany and Briana both have married twin brothers (also monozygotic), Josh and Jeremy, in 2018. An unusual union that gave rise to an even more improbable situation during the birth of their children, born in 2021. Indeed, if they are cousins on paper, in reality they are considered genetically like brothers. And for good reason, their parents are among the rare cases of quaternary twins. Alexandra Burt, doctor at the Michigan State University Twin Registry explained in 2018 to the New Zealand Herald that the two couples possessing the same genetic material, “Every child shares as many genes with their aunt as they do with their mother. The children are cousins in real life but, in terms ofDNAthey are siblings”.
Cousins with many similarities
It was in January 2021 that Jax, the son of Jeremy and Briana, was born. Just a few months later, in April, Brittany and Josh also gave birth to a boy named Jett. Two boys, therefore, whose first names both begin with the letter J, also sharing the same surname (their fathers being brothers) and who are, moreover, considered brothers because of their common DNA.
The two families live together
The couples, who had also participated in a reality TV show called Extreme Sisters, dedicated to very close sisters, will be able to continue to do everything together. Especially since these soul mate duos and their offspring all live under the same roof.
As for the question of enlarging the family, it is obviously studied together. Thus, if there is a second baby, it will still be at the same time. Soon a new batch of cousins / brothers? “We are having a debate about whether we should have one more pregnancy each or not. We will make the decision soon. The babies are still quite young and we are trying to wait a little longer before deciding.”Briana told Today on February 23, 2022.
