Two sets of twins were born on different days, months and years … but only minutes apart

Not one, but two sets of parents have an intriguing New Year's Eve birth story to tell their children one day.

A couple from Connecticut and another from New Jersey welcomed twin babies ... who were born on different days, in different months and even in different years. In each case, one baby was born slightly before midnight on Dec. 31, 2023 and the other was born in the early hours of Jan. 1, 2024.

At Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, parents Mykel and Aliyah Kiyomi Morris of Hamden welcomed baby boy Seven Morris at 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2023. He weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces. Little sister Souli Morris joined the party just minutes later, at 12:02 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2024. She clocked in at the same exact weight as her brother.

Mom, Eve, and dad, Billy, hold their New Year’s Eve and New Year's Day babies at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in New Jersey.

The months of December and January certainly give this family of five multiple opportunities to celebrate.

Eve’s birthday is Dec. 7, just days before the couple's Dec. 12 wedding anniversary. Ezra happens to share a birthday with his father, Billy, and the boys, who were born at Virtua Voorhees Hospital, will soon celebrate the birthday of their oldest brother, who will turn 3 on Jan. 3, 2024.
