You Won’t Believe These Two Sisters Are Twins


Maria and Lucy Aylmer have often been mistaken for friends because of their skin tones. They don’t look like sisters, even when they wear the same dress. Lucy said that people don’t believe that they are twins. What’s more, the 18-year-old teens have to produce their birth certificates to prove to their friends that they are twin sisters. The girls were born to a half-Jamaican mother and a white father, according to the Huffington Post.

In addition to having distinct separate features, the two girls are biracial. Maria has dark brown eyes, black curls and caramel skin, whereas Lucy has blue eyes, red hair and fair skin. Although they look so different, they share a strong relationship with each other. Maria likes telling her friends at college that she has a white twin sister.

Fraternal twins result when two eggs are fertilized by two different sperm cells. It is rare for a biracial couple to have twins who have different skin colors. However, there is a one in 500 chance, according to BBC.
