A Texan mother has astonished doctors by the discovery that her twin boys have two different fathers.

Shocked Mia Washington and her partner had been confused that the boys did not look facially alike.

Paternity tests later revealed that the 11-month-old twins Justin and Jordan had a 99.99% chance of having different fathers.

Doctors later explained that two eggs had been fertilized at the same time by the sperm of two different men.

The mother later admitted that she had not been faithful to her partner, and had had an affair at the time of the pregnancy.

Washington told Fox News “Out of all people in America and of all people in the world, it had to happen to me,”

“I’m very shocked.”

Although it is very rare, and there is only a few cases that have been documented worldwide, it can happen.

When twins have different fathers, it is called heteropaternal superfecundation.
