They made headlines as babies with different skin tones — now they’re 6, and even more unique. These twins stunned the world at birth, and their story just keeps getting more heartwarming
How genetics shaped their looks — and what their life is like now — you can read in the article below!
Genetics still holds a lot of surprises, and Kyle and Hannah from the UK have experienced this firsthand. A few years ago, their story caught a lot of attention — because their twin daughters were born with different skin tones. This came as a big surprise to the couple. But interestingly, their friends had often joked that something like this could happen. The reason? Kyle comes from a mixed-race family.
And in the end, those playful guesses turned out to be true. After the twins were born, one of the girls, Mila, began to develop darker skin, while the other, Anaya, stayed fair. The explanation is simple: although they’re twins, they’re not identical — so one inherited more of their dad’s genes, while the other got more from their mom.
As the girls started to grow, more and more people noticed them and were curious. Many asked Hannah if both children were really hers, since they looked so different.
Even journalists became interested in the unique twins.
Now the girls are 6 years old, and thankfully, the attention from strangers has lessened a bit. Still, their mom worries a little about how classmates will treat them when they start school — whether they’ll face teasing or questions that might make them uncomfortable.
The differences between the twins aren’t just in skin tone — there’s also a noticeable difference in their height and body shape. This is also due to how each baby developed during pregnancy.
Since then, the family has grown — Hannah and Kyle have had two more daughters. Now Kyle is happily surrounded by even more love and beauty in their home.
