“It’s that magical twin connection I suppose,” Mariuz tells
PEOPLE. “There have just been certain things in our life where things
just match up – it’s odd.””We didn’t plan being pregnant at the same time. But
our journeys aligned, even giving birth! Twins have a special bond, it’s
hard to explain.”
We were at our older sister’s wedding recently, and, well, two pregnant
chicks together, people couldn’t stop talking about this,” Rodgers said.
“They kept asking us, ‘Was it planned?’ No! It was kind of
entertaining.”
