- Jennifer and Matthew Milner welcomed their twin boys in March 2020
- Jakob has a pale complexion like his white dad, while Joshua has brown skin like his Black mom
- Aside from their complexions, the twin boys have totally different personalities
When Jennifer Milner welcomed her twin boys, Jakob and Joshua, in March 2020, doctors and nurses trooped in to catch a glimpse of the rare genetic marvel.
She had given birth to twins with different skin complexions, and the over 20 health workers who visited the delivery room simply wanted to admire the babies.
Jakob was born with blond hair, blue eyes, and a pale complexion, like his white dad, while Joshua came out with brown hair, brown eyes, and brown skin, like his black mum.
Birth of biracial twins stuns parents
Their Black mother, Jennifer, a 39-year-old therapist, told TODAY Parents that she and her husband, Matthew Milner, 33, were speechless when their twins arrived; they had never heard about the genetic phenomenon of biracial twins.

Jennifer said:
''Joshua looked like me and Jakob was pale. We were completely stunned."
Other differences
Besides having different complexions, the twins also have different personalities.
She said:
''Joshua has a ''true people person,'' who thrives on interactions with others. Jakob, on the other hand, is more of an observer. He likes to sit and take it all in."
The 18-month-old siblings complement each other perfectly. Watch their video below:
My Chinese lover abandoned me
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a 27-year-old woman is pleading for help after a Chinese man she got twins with left the country, leaving her stranded.
In 2015, Syengo Purity got a job with a Chinese company. Here she met a Chinese man, and they hit it off. In 2017 the two began dating, and he indicated that he was ready to settle with Purity.
The man would often go to China and come back to Kenya. Their relationship budded well, and last year, the two decided to have a baby.
She said:
"So I got pregnant and this year in January we confirmed that I had twins. So he was to travel to China in March and come after 3 months. He knew that I was to get babies in July and by that time I knew he would be here."
