2 Sets of Twins Born in Different Years

A pair of New Jersey twins won't need to share a birthday — or even a birth year — after one was born on New Year's Eve, and the other was born less than an hour later, on New Year's Day.

Parents Eve and Billy Humphrey welcomed their son Ezra at 11:48 p.m. at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in Camden County Sunday night. His brother, Ezekiel, was born soon after, at 12:28 a.m., WPVI reported.

The boys had an expected due date in late January. But Ezra and Ezekiel apparently planned their birth to coincide with their dad's birthday, which also happens to fall New Year's Day.

"I'm like - what a great birthday gift! I get two boys on my birthday," Billy said. "We came in early enough on that day that I was thinking, 'Okay, maybe this is going to happen?'"

But Ezra and Ezekiel weren't the only newborns to experience year-spanning births in the New Year.

Baby Seven was born at 11:59 p.m. Sunday to parents Mykel and Aliyah Kiyomi Morris of Hamden, Connecticut.

His sister, Souli, was born just three minutes later, at 12:02 a.m., local outlet WTNH reported.

Souli also earned the distinction of becoming the first baby born at Yale New Haven Hospital in 2024.

A similar marvel took place exactly a year ago, when twins were born 15 minutes apart at California's Natividad Medical Center between New Year's Even and New Year's Day, USA Today reported last year.

The odds of being a twin are relatively slim: Twin births make up just 3% of all births.

But the chances of twins being born on different years is far rarer, occurring in just 1 in every 2 million births, per USA Today.
