The twins were born on August 26, 2026, arriving at just 23 weeks and five days gestation. Ditchfield confirmed that the brothers weighed 1lb 1oz and 1lb 2oz at the time of their birth. Despite the medical intervention provided during their short lives, the family shared that both boys passed away within hours of one another.
