Many celebrity actresses, singers and personalities are mothers to twins. From well-known superstar celebrities to less-recognized historial and political figures, mothers of multiples are everywhere!
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker's twin girls were born on June 22, 2009, delivered by a surrogate mother.

The couple had been married for twelve years when their darling daughter duo was born, and have a son, James, who was six years old when his sisters arrived.

Kate Gosselin
She's not a famous singer, actress, politician or historial figure. In fact, Kate Gosselin's fame is the result of being a mother of multiples - twice over.

Kate gave birth to sextuplets (yep, six babies!) in May 2004: Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, Aaden Jonathan, Collin Thomas, Leah Hope and Joel Kevin. The family's life -- including Kate's tumultuous breakup with her husband, Jon -- has been documented in the popular television series "Jon and Kate Plus 8" which airs on TLC. Their book, Multiple Bles8ings details their story and the faith that has sustained them through their journey.
