A mother of two spoke candidly on Good Morning Britain today about having twins with differing skin tones.Having a maternal grandfather from Nigeria, Chantelle Broughton, 29, of Nottingham, and her half-Jamaican spouse Ashton are parents to Ayon and Azira. She said to GMB hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard that having twins with differing skin tones wasn’t a problem at initially because they were ‘pretty similar in colour’.
Chantelle pointed out that as the twins from April have gotten older, her son Ayon has whiter skin and green eyes while daughter Azirah has a notably darker complexion.The 29-year-old further claims that when others encounter the twins, they are frequently “ocked” and comment that they have never previously seen siblings with such dissimilar complexion tones.
Mother-of-two Today, Chantelle Broughton (seen on the left) made an appearance on Good Morning Britain with her identical twins Ayon and Azirah, who had distinct skin tones.
Daughter Azirah (left) has a darker complexion and brown eyes while son Ayon has fairer skin and green eyesShe explained: ‘People stop you anyway when they see you’ve got a double pram because everyone just seems to love twins.’ And then when they notice, they’re just like “are they twins?… oh wow one’s dагk one’s light. That’s so ᴜnᴜѕᴜаl, I’ve never see that before”.
The mother, 29, explained to GMB hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway (pictured, far left and left) that the appearances of the babies frequently “ock” people.
Chantelle, the babies’ adoring mother, also claimed that they already have a strong attachment and frequently reach out to hold hands.Everyone just seems to be quite confused. I doubt many people have ever seen twins with varied skin tones.Dr. Amir Khan also participated in the show and discussed why some twins with multiracial parents have distinct skin tones.
Mother-of-two Ayon and Azirah were born to Chantelle Broughton, 29, of Nottingham, in April. When Chantelle brings the twins out in the stroller, she claims that many have asked her if she really is the mother of the children. Despite their extreme differences, the twins, who were born in April, share a very strong affinity. They frequently touch hands, according to Chantelle.
When the twins were born, Chantelle claimed they resembled one another more, but as they’ve grown older, their complexions have changed.What will have happened, he explained, is that two eggs and two sperm have fertilized those eggs.
‘Skin colour is made up of about 20 different genes or so, and it’s a random assortment.’What’s going to be found in one sperm won’t be the same as another sperm, and it’s same with the eggs.
A different set of genes will have fertilized one egg and another on the opposite side, so that is what will happen.And one will like darker skin, darker hair, and darker eyes, while the other will choose lighter skin.Therefore, it is purely accidental and exceedingly rare—about one in 500 multiracial or interracial couples who conceive twins will have identical twins.Approximately 50 years ago, we didn’t actually have as many interracial couples as we do now, so it’s getting more common now.It’s also a wonderful thing. ‘We’re seeing beautiful things like this as a result of people mixing more.’But it’s a relatively new thing.’He added that because it’s quite rаre, there isn’t much research oп these kinds of twins, but that more coпtiпυes to be undertaken, when it comes to differences the babies may experience with health іѕѕᴜeѕ.Dr Amir also noted that the children are likely to have different experiences when it comes to ѕoсіаl іѕѕᴜeѕ.
It’s not a pleasant thing to think about, but it’s the reality of the situation, he continued.Mother Chantelle said on how the infants already seem to have a strong bond: “When we put them together, like on the bed in the morning…they will sort of look at each other.”They also constantly touch hands.We have a ton of videos of them grabbing each other’s hands as soon as they are laid next to each other at birth.
