9 Celebrities Who You May Not Have Realized Are Parents to Twins

Here is a trend in Hollywood that I'm sure you never expected: celebrities giving birth to twins.

Think about it. From Beyoncé to Gordon Ramsay and his wife, there are so many A-listers who have welcomed not one, but two babies at the same time. What gives?

As it just so happens, Twin Pregnancy and Beyond explains that fertility treatments like IVF increase older women’s chances of conceiving double. And since many women in Hollywood are delaying having kids and/or starting a family because of their careers, they are more likely to turn to fertility treatments like IVF.

Of course, getting pregnant through IVF is no easy task and can often take several rounds. But because each round typically involves implanting multiple fertilized eggs into the womb, there is always the chance that more than one egg manifests in a healthy pregnancy. Hence, twins. Or triplets. Or even more.

That said, there is a surplus of celebrity moms giving birth to twins. Below, we've gathered some of our favorite A-list moms and dads who are parents to twins.

After welcoming their first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in 2012, Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed twins Sir and Rumi in 2017.

Jay-Z previously opened up about their unique names on his streaming service Tidal. "Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter," he explained, referencing the 13th-century Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi.

Meanwhile, the inspiration behind Sir was a little different.

"Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir," explained Jay-Z. The rapper noted that he and Bey didn't settle on that name for him until after he was born and they had observed him.
