All of the Celebrities Who Have Twins

When Beyoncé and Jay Z announced in January 2017 that they were having twins, the Beyhive erupted, and the Twitterverse went into a frenzy. It wasn't long before they welcomed Rumi and Sir into the world, and everyone's twin radar has been pinging nonstop ever then.

George and Amal Clooney — whose twins Ella and Alex celebrate their third birthday today — while former couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony had twins Max and Emme in February 2008.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, and so many more have joined the club of parents of twins. While these celebrities all adore their children, they've also been open about the difficulties of being pregnant with twins and raising twins over the years.

"It was incredibly uncomfortable carrying twins because you lie on one side and you feel a baby, and you lay on the other side and you feel a baby," Jennifer Lopez told Parade in 2010.

And Modern Family actor Julie Bowen has spoken up on twin sibling rivalry: "They're also siblings who want to be together, but they compete," she told The Huffington Post in 2014. "They'll become their own persons because I'm going to talk to them and connect with them, not because I drove one of them to pottery and another to karate."

George Clooney raved about Amal's transition into motherhood on David Letterman's Netflix talk show, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, stating, "She is sort of this extraordinary human being and now mother, which is something, I mean, you should assume she would be wonderful at as well." But seeing it in person makes you feel both very proud and incredibly insignificant."

Jay-Z and Beyoncé

In June 2017, Queen Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed twins Rumi and Sir. Why are such names chosen? Jay-Z spoke on the Rap Radar show just a few months after their birth about how their names came to be.

"It was never clear to me that it was the correct thing to do. I wouldn't exchange that experience for anything. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and we now have three more wonderful children who would not have been born otherwise."

Courtney B. Vance and Angela Bassett

Slater Josiah and Bronwyn Golden were born in 2006 to this Emmy-nominated mother and Emmy-winning father. Angela Bassett told People in 2018 about her now-12-year-old twins' experiences with racism in school.

It makes you gasp and squeezes your heart at moments since you never want your children to experience such misery." "They've had to deal with — and as bizarre as it looks or sounds — color issues since the age of four, from preschool," she explains. "Or because they were African Americans, and whether other kids would play with them or object to that."

John Byrne and Tilda Swinton

Honor and Xavier, the twins of Doctor Strange's Tilda Swinton and previous partner John Byrne, were born in 1997

Swinton co-founded Drumduan Upper School, which the twins now attend, in 2013.

Swinton told The Observer in 2015, "There's no grading, no assessment at all." "They will attend this school without taking any tests at any point, so it is highly art-based practical learning." They study science through, for example, building a Canadian canoe, making a knife, or caramelizing onions. And they're all contented 17-year-olds. I can't believe it - I'm overjoyed and inspired."

Mike Nilon and Garcelle Beauvais

Mike Nilon, the ex-husband of Jamie Foxx, welcomed Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas in 2007. The couple divorced in 2012, but they have since co-parented their children.

"I'm not going to lie. It pains my heart to hear kids tell their pals, "I'll be at Mommy's place this week." Even when they are not physically present, they are continuously on my mind "In 2014, she authored a blog for People.

"Fortunately, co-parenting with Mike has been a boon since we allow one other to visit the boys even when it's not his or my week. That's because we prioritized them "She goes on. "It's preferable for kids to see us at both sports and school activities."

Hamzi Hijazi and Jaime Pressly

Poppy and Charlie, these True Blood co-stars-turned-married couple's fraternal twins, were born in 2012. Since then, you've probably seen few, if any, images of their children, which Anna Paquin prefers.

"You won't find any photos of my children here." That was a deliberate decision on our part. "I want the freedom to say they're not fair game," she said in February 2018 to Today. "Don't annoy my cubs."

René Angélil and Céline Dion

Celine Dion and her late husband René Angélil welcomed twins Eddy and Nelson in 2010 after struggling with infertility. After Angélil died in 2016, Dion spoke to The Sun about how her twins helped her through the grief process, saying, "I prepare myself so that I do not feel lonely. So I acquired a big, big, big bed and sleep with my twins. They are quite soothing to me. I require them. I require their proximity."

Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth

In 2014, the guy behind Thor on the big screen welcomed twins Tristan and Sasha with wife Elsa Pataky, growing their brood from one to three. The twins joined India Rose, who was born two years before.

One of the couple's ambitions for their children? To keep them centered.

"As a kid, we didn't have much money, and my parents worked all year just to pay for a two-week camping trip," Chris Hemsworth told People in 2017. "We're in a different financial situation, but I want them to understand that these things don't come easily. You must fight for it and cannot take it for granted."
