Twins with different birthdays is a rare occurrence. Twins with different birth years even more so. But a woman in Indiana has done something almost unheard of – she has given birth to twins born in different decades.

“We are still in shock,” Dawn Gilliam, mother to the twins, told ABC News’ Indianapolis affiliate station WRTV alongside her partner Jason Tello at Ascension St. Vincent Carmel Hospital.

The twins also weren’t due for another 7 weeks so their special birthday was a big surprise to the parents.

"We were surprised how big they were," Gilliam said. "We joked about it before knowing that we were in labor."

Joslyn Grace Guilen Tello was born at 11:37 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2019 weighing 4 pounds 11 ounces and 17.9 inches long while her brother, Jaxon DeWayne Mills Tello was born exactly 30 minutes later on the next day, Jan. 1, 2020, weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces and 18.1 inches long.

I found this while trying to find a working link to your story


Melissa and Ben Mase became parents to George and Remi on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, respectively, a local newspaper reported Saturday. George was born at 11:44 p.m. on Tuesday, while Remi arrived at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.

It led me to finding out about the other couple. Which then made me curious about twins at the turn of the century, even rarer.

At least 7 sets of twins were born in different centuries

Also, one is a 2019 tax deduction and the other is not.

In some school districts, they would have been starting school a year apart, too!

But as they get older it's going to be, "Yeah, so what? Get over it!"

The older one will taunt the younger one about how they are a year/decade older.

When they get older the younger one will taunt the older one about being a year/decade older than them.
