Rebecca Romijn’s Twins Won’t Know Who’s Older
I’ve always thought it was a little odd when strangers asked me which of my twin girls is older — does it matter? And I’m not alone! Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell don’t plan to tell their daughters Charlie and Dolly who was born first. And here’s why:
Per Lilsugar.com, Romijn shared: “This may sound strange, but we decided before they were born — I had a c-section so they both came out at the same time — that they wouldn’t know which one was born first. Technically, one did come out first, but we feel like a lot of twins get to brag —’I was born five minutes earlier. I was born first’ and the truth is they shared the womb. We’re also curious to see if the one who is older naturally takes on that first sibling role. On their birth certificates, they were born in the same minute. It was a conversation we had with the doctor before they were even born and so far it’s worked out pretty well. They are both extremely strong willed and neither of them seems to be in charge of the other at all. They are young and developing their personalities and their relationship with each other so they don’t need to know that information. Maybe when they are much older we’ll tell them.”
I hadn’t thought about whether I’d tell my twins yet, but their birth certificates indicate one was born a minute earlier than the other — so I guess I won’t have a choice.
