Luckily, that’s where I see all the celebrities twin pregnancy announcements!
Check out These Celebrities With Twins
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts might be one of the most famous celebrities with twins in Hollywood. Her smile and laugh (does Pretty Woman ring a bell?) are completely recognizable. She has had an extensive career in Hollywood dating back to 1988. She had fraternal boy/girl twins named Hazel and Phinneaus in November of 2004. Roberts also has a singleton son named Henry born in 2007. Can we all agree that her kiddos got some cute names?
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony
This famous singing duo had their fraternal boy/girl twins in February, 2008. Max and Emme are the only children Jennifer has but Marc has 6 Children in total. Yikes! That’s a lot of kids! Unfortunately the couple has since split but remain amicable to provide stability and comfort for their twins as they enter their dreaded teen years.

Like many others, Julie also has another son named Oliver who is 2 years older than his twin brothers.

Marcia Cross is one of my personal favorite celebrities with twins. Desperate Housewives anyone? She has been outspoken about her IVF journey which led to the birth of her fraternal twin girls Eden and Savannah in February of 2007.
Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell
This famous pair had their fraternal twin daughters in December in 2008. Their super cute names are Dolly and Charlie. I would like to go on the record saying that I just love their names. Dolly is named after country legend Dolly Parton and Charlie is named after Jerry’s younger brother Charlie O’Connell.
Beyonce and Jay Z
Beyonce and Jay Z famously added boy/girl twins named Sir and Rumi to their family in June of 2017. The pair joined older sister Blue Ivy, born in January 2012.

Queen Bey certainly seems to have embraced twin motherhood with the best of them!

In February of 2017 the pop icon adopted 4 year old twin girls Estere and Stella from Malawi. Madonna has 2 older biological children and had already adopted 2 older children from Malawi so the twins round out the brood of 6 for Madonna! That’s a whole lot of kids!
