Twins are rare and so is one’s chance of being born into a famous family. That means the chances of being born a twin to celebrity parents is quite low.
Alas, there seem to be a whole lot of twin celebrity children out there. Let’s take a look at who they are.

Zoë Saldana And Marco Perego
Everyone’s favorite sci-fi/fantasy heroine somehow found time in her busy schedule to give birth to twin boys in 2014 (another son, Zen, followed in 2017). The family stepped out for a rare public appearance together when Saldana received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2018.
Mariah Carey And Nick Cannon
Even though they’ve separated, Carey and Cannon are raising their twins, Monroe and Moroccan, as a team.
Celine Dion And René Angélil
The Canadian diva and her husband, who passed away last year, had twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, in 2010.
Michael J. Fox And Tracy Pollan
Another point for the twins = happy marriage theory. The “Back to the Future” actor and wife Pollan have been married for 29 years and have four children: twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, older brother Sam and little sister Esmé.
Rebecca Romijn And Jerry O’Connell
Romijn and O’Connell have 8-year-old twins, Dolly and Charlie, who are just as photogenic as their mom.
Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt
I know we’re all still dealing with the fallout from their split, but these super-parents were the twin trendsetters of the decade. Vivienne and Knox were born in 2008, joining the four other Jolie-Pitt kids: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax.
Matthew Broderick And Sarah Jessica Parker
Maybe having twins is the secret to relationship longevity (okay, except for Brangelina). SJP and Broderick, who have been married for 20 years, had twin girls Tabitha and Marion in 2009. The couple also has an older son, James.
Sean “Diddy” Combs And Kim Porter
Kim and Diddy have four children together, including twin girls Jessie and D’Lila and boys Quincy and Christian. The on-again, off-again couple isn’t an item anymore, but they still spend time together and have even taken family vacations together.
Neil Patrick Harris And David Burtka
Yes, NPH’s life is just as charming in reality as it is on TV, and his kids are a major reason why. The couple became parents in 2010, when twins Gideon and Harper were born. The fashionable pair show up regularly on NPH’s Instagram account.
Beyoncé And Jay-Z
Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed their twins, Sir and Rumi, in June of 2017, much to the BeyHive’s excitement. The power couple then waited a month to introduce their babies in an iconic Instagram photo. Queen Bey and Jay-Z are also parents to Blue Ivy, who was born in 2012.
Gordon And Tana Ramsay
Chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, are parents to four children: 19-year-old Megan, 15-year-old Matilda, and twins Holly and Jack, who turned 18 in January 2018. The twin siblings celebrated their milestone birthday with a “Great Gatsby”-themed party, and Ramsay couldn’t help sharing a sweet snap of the occasion on Instagram. “Gorgeous at 18…. so happy and proud for these 2,” the Michelin-star chef wrote in the caption. “Continue working hard to follow your dreams love ya both, now can we rent out your rooms please ?”
Ricky Martin And Jwan Yosef
Singer and actor Ricky Martin and husband Jwan Yosef are dads to brothers, Valentino and Matteo. The fraternal twin boys were born via surrogate in August 2008.

Anna Paquin And Stephen Moyer
Former “True Blood” stars and real-life couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are parents to 5-year-old twins Poppy and Charlie — but don’t expect to see their little ones in the spotlight.
“Everyone chooses what works for their family. There are aspects of one’s private life that are fun and cute and not too revealing,” Paquin told “Today” earlier this year. “And then there’s stuff where you’re making decisions for people who don’t have a say yet about whether they want to be in the public eye.”
Tilda Swinton
Actor Tilda Swinton is mom to 10-year-old twins Xavier and Honor, whom she had with former partner John Byrne.

Al Pacino
Iconic star Al Pacino shares 17-year-old twins Anton and Olivia D’Angelo with his ex-partner, Beverly D’Angelo. Pacino and D’Angelo separated when the twins were young and went through a tough custody battle. But the two actors have become friends and co-parent their children.
