London mum Kayleigh Okotie is living the dream.

The 32-year-old is super proud of how beautiful her twins are and how unique the two babies look.

The mum and her partner Jordan King welcomed their children and noticed that the babies had distinct features that rarely occur in most twins.

The mum of two insists that though the boy and girl were born on the same day, their characters are like night and day.

The 32-year-old is of English and Nigerian descent but she was still shocked when she saw her babies for the first time.

She had just gone through a long and tough labour and all she could do after giving birth was cuddle the kids and fall asleep. When she woke up, Kayleigh noticed she had missed a glaring detail about her babies.

Previously, Briefly.co.za reported a woman with the Twitter handle @Sentie_Motloi celebrated her twin sisters after they achieved great academic success together.

According to her, the twins became medical doctors on the same day, saying that God did it for their family all again.

@Sentie_Motloi shared two photos showing the ladies holding their medical tags. One of the frames had them all smiling in their doctors' garbs.
