You know the old saying, “two is better than one.” Brother or sister, identical or fraternal, for better or worse, these celebs have one thing in common with their siblings: a birthday!
Some of these sibs have followed in the footsteps of their more well-known twin, while others decided to live a quieter or more private life. Some of these twins you’d never guess, while others you’d clock right off the bat. Either way, it’s always exciting to have a sneak peek inside celebrity family matters!

“Tia and I have twin telepathy,” Tamera told the Huffington Post in 2011, “I know exactly what she’s thinking, I can feel her and I can sense her. All I have to do is look in her eyes and I can tell what she’s thinking and visa versa.”
Dylan and Cole Sprouse
