A set of twins born in California will forever celebrate their birthdays in two different years due to a 15-minute gap between their births.
People reported Fatima Madrigal went into labour on New Year's Eve at 11:45 pm and gave birth to a son named Alfredo.
Fifteen minutes later, which is essentially a whole different year, Madrigal and her husband Robert Trujillo welcomed their second baby, a girl they christened Aylin.
That is to say that Alfredo and Aylin are twins but will have different birthdays both in date, month and year. Big brother Alfredo weighed 2.74k at birth while Aylin was born with a weight of 2.66kg.

Such a rare occurrence
The elated mother explained that she was surprised and happy that the second twin arrived at midnight, which means the twins have unique birthdays.
"It's crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays," Madrigal said in a press release from the Natividad Medical Center.
According to family doctor Dr Ana Abril Arias, the rare occurrence was definitely one of the most memorable deliveries of her career. She added that it was an absolute pleasure to have been responsible for ensuring the twins are delivered safely in different years.
"What an amazing way to start the New Year!" she quipped.
Alfredo and Aylin join three other sisters and one brother to make them five siblings in total, with Madrigal indicating that her oldest son is excited that he now has a brother.
Twins born in different decades
In a similar story last year, Briefly News reported that a pair of twins were born on different days, months and decades after arriving 30 minutes apart in Indiana. They were born at an Indiana hospital on December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2021, at Ascension St Vincent Carmel.
Their births made the female the last 2019 baby born at the hospital and the male the first baby born in the new decade there.
