In an Instagram post, she shared an image of the tots - writing, 'amor infinito,' which translates to "infinite love", adding, "grey & zélia."
Oli, who has been married to Victoria since 2017, reshared the image to his Story.
The pair met while she was working as a model for his Drop Dead Clothing collection.
It was only back in May that Oli told fans about their big news.
In a video he shared, both Oli and Victoria could be seen sitting at their dining table with a box each in front of them.
Opening the boxes, they each got out a cupcake that would end up revealing the gender of their twins.
"Oh my god," Victoria said as she opened her box.
"Are you ready?" she asked Oli, to which he said: "Bite it, bite it."
Victoria took a bite and then revealed that there was pink sponge inside the first cupcake.
Oli declared: "We're having a baby girl!"

The rocker then opened his box and munched into his cupcake.
As Oli revealed the colour inside his cake, the pair both screamed loudly.
"Oh my god, no f**king way, no f**king way," Oli said as he turned the cupcake around so it was in view of the camera lens.
Showing off the blue sponge, it was revealed that the pair would be welcoming a baby daughter and a baby son.
Victoria then said: "This is crazy!"
Commenting on the post, one person said: "Congratulations to you both."
Another added: "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen CONGRATS."
What are the different types of twins?
TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy.
They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy.
Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy
What are the different types of twins?
Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins)
Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes
Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours.
Can identical twins be two different sexes?
Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes.
The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide.
Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female).
What are Di Di twins?
Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins.
They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical.
There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor.
Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical.
"You hit the lottery omg twins and a boy n girl," penned a third.
A fourth then wrote: "OMG Oli is going to be a father! Did not expect the news of twins, but congrats to you both."
While a fifth said: "OMG I'M FOLLOWING HAPPINESS!!!!! PLEASE BE HEALTHY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!"
And a sixth added: "So exciting. Best feeling in the world."
Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band.
They were formed in Sheffield more than 20 years ago in 2004.
The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean.

Sophie Turner puts on a glamorous display in a very plunging yellow silk bridesmaid dress as she celebrates her friend's wedding
Sophie Turner put on a very glamorous display in a bridesmaid dress as she celebrated her friend's wedding. The former Game of Thrones actress, 29, took to Instagram on Thursday to share an array of stylish snaps from the occasion. She looked elegant in a halter-neck pastel yellow silk gown with a very plunging neckline as she posed alongside her fellow bridesmaids. Sophie was epitome of chic as she toted around her belongings in a matching yellow designer handbag. She appeared to be in jovial spirits as she was cheekily seen raising a bottle of bubbles to the camera in one playful shot. Sophie gushed over her friend Taura Lamb and her new husband Jesse Christopher Burgess in a lengthy caption as she celebrated their union. She penned: 'To watch one of your oldest and best friends get married to a man you adore is a privilege, but to stand beside them both while it happens is something I can't put into words. I love you both 4eva @taura_lamb @jesse_burgess'. Sophie recently reconciled her romance with aristocrat boyfriend Peregrine Pearson after they were seen together at Glastonbury. Since attending the Worthy Farm festival, Sophie has shared a slew of snaps to her Instagram after a fun-filled weekend at the festival. Sophie was one of a host of stars to flock to Somerset for the biggest weekend on the British music calendar. Amid reports she had rekindled things with Peregrine, the pair were then seen hand-in-hand in between sets following online rumours they had split. Sophie beamed as she strolled through the VIP area, with Peregrine close by as they got drinks at the hospitality bar. Onlookers said the couple looked 'smitten' with one another. One said: 'Sophie was on the phone looking for Peregrine and then they saw one another and dashed over. 'They looked so happy.' As well as being spotted out together, the pair have also reconnected on social media, with Sophie following Peregrine on Instagram once more Sophie's visit to Glastonbury came just days after she was spotted with her ex Joe Jonas in New York, proving they are amicable exes after their difficult split. They were seen by a Tiktoker who shared the picture of the pair on social media. During the sighting, Joe and Sophie did not appear to be joined by their children, daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two. The A-listers wed in 2019 before splitting four years later. In September 2023, Joe filed for divorce, plunging the couple into a rancorous legal battle that played out dramatically in the headlines. Sophie was revealed to be dating Peregrine, 30, in December 2023, after the breakdown of her four-year marriage to Joe.

Why West End's biggest stars are drawn to the East
London's Chinatown is in the middle of the British capital city, but it is also at the heart of another very distinctive city within a city: Theatreland. According to trade association the Society of London Theatre, for every one pound spent on a ticket, an additional 1.27 pounds are spent at local businesses such as hotels and restaurants, and with 17.1 million people attending West End shows in 2024, the West End's economic contribution to city life, as well as its cultural one, is huge. As well as being popular with locals, 24 per cent of all overseas visitors to London go to see a show, and with travellers from China making up a significant number of the capital's visitors, and being among its biggest spenders, a lot of those seats will be occupied by Chinese tourists. So it is no surprise that, increasingly frequently, West End producers and performers are looking to build on that interest by performing in China. Matilda, based on the Roald Dahl story about a book-loving young girl with magic powers, and the hugely popular The Phantom of the Opera are two shows that have recently toured China, to great acclaim. Two more award-winning hits that recently came to Shanghai Culture Square are Six and Life of Pi. Six is an all-female pop musical, telling the story of the six wives of England's 16th century king Henry VIII, and Life of Pi is a visually stunning staging of Yann Martel's best-selling book, also an Oscar-winning movie, about a boy who survives a shipwreck. Tom de Keyser is chief executive of Royo, a production company with offices in London and Shanghai, that has taken Life of Pi, and also the thriller Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, around China. He said top class facilities, a rich local heritage and enthusiastic audiences made China one of the most exciting places in the world to operate. 'A few years ago, you'd only have played Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but now a lot of second-tier cities have developed fantastic state-of-the-art modern theatres and have built up a real appetite for high-quality theatre, so we will now tour for 10-14 weeks, across many different cities, whereas previously we'd only have done two or three weeks.' Shanghai is a particular magnet for touring shows, and De Keyser called its principal venues, Shanghai Culture Square and the Shanghai Grand Theatre, 'two of the most magnificent state-of-the-art theatres I've ever seen anywhere in the world'. Someone who has had a chance to see Chinese audiences up close and can compare them to those in the West End and on New York's Broadway is performer and recording artist Kerry Ellis, known as the Queen of the West End. 'What I love about our industry is you can connect with people whether you speak the language or not, so I love to travel and perform all over the world and China is up there with my favourite places,' she said. Serin Kasif is business development director at Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group, which has been taking his shows and productions to China for more than 20 years. She said the company's relations with local producers such as SMG Live were vital to its touring success in China. 'For a show like Phantom, the decision on where we go and for how long is made very closely with our partners — we don't pretend to know what Chinese audiences want, which is why we work with producers and venues on what they want, we're in constant conversation to find what is the best fit,' she explained. Like the Really Useful Group, Royo also foresees a busy future in China. But in a nod to its roots in two countries approach, there is the prospect of some of China's top performers making the reverse journey. 'What shows we can bring here is something we do discuss a lot,' said De Keyser. 'For many years, London has been a hub of some of the world's best theatre so I think there would be real interest in bringing Chinese theatre here, partly for the Chinese population, but also because of so many British people's interest in a culture as rich as China's.'

ITV Sophie Turner series Joan won't return for second season
ITV 's drama series Joan, which depicted the life of real-life jewel thief Joan Hannington, has been cancelled after its first season. The cancellation is attributed to the unavailability of the show's star-studded cast for filming further episodes. The six-part series, starring Sophie Turner as Hannington, aired last autumn and attracted over four million viewers per episode. Joan Hannington was Britain's most notorious diamond thief, responsible for stealing millions of pounds worth of jewels over nearly two decades. Sophie Turner, the lead actress, has several upcoming projects, including playing Lara Croft in Amazon 's Tomb Raider series and roles in Cloud One and The Dreadful.
