A Pennsylvania mom who gave birth to twins couldn't believe how different they looked four months later.
Jacqueline Zamores (@jxrilloj) posted a clip on TikTok, showing viewers the difference in appearance between her two babies. She captioned the clip: "When the twins aren't twinning." Cristian—named after his father—has light hair and blue eyes, while his sister, Cecilia, has darker features.
Zamores, 27, told Newsweek that she and her husband Cristian, 32, started noticing the difference in skin color when the twins were born. "Two to three weeks later, while they were still in NICU [Neonatal Intensive Care Unit], we noticed Cristian had bluish eyes," Jacqueline said.

The parents are both Mexican American, and each has family in Jalisco and Michoacán.
"Genetically, we believe they are both a mixture of us, although Cristian's shares more of our receive genes compared to Cecilia," Jacqueline said.
Before the twins, Jacqueline was already mom to two other children. She said that becoming a mom to twins has been a rewarding experience.
"We have double the smiles, double the snuggles and double the love," she added. "With having already two other children, adding to more into the mix was definitely a big change.
"Keeping everyone to a schedule is key, so our home can function properly and not add too much stress on ourselves."
Jacqueline's clip has gone viral on TikTok, amassing over 13.5 million views in a matter of days.
A further 3 million users liked the video, and thousands commented with similar stories.
"My twins too! Twin A is a mini version of his dad with my peachy skin tone Twin B is a mini version of me with his dad's caramel skin tone. They're precious," one user wrote.
Another shared that, when they were pregnant, her sister-in-law was also pregnant with twin boys.
"When I gave birth we started realizing one of the twins and my son look more alike than the actual twin. We call them the wrong kid every time we're together," they posted.
A third user commented: "At least you can tell who is who."
"People seemed to find it very comical that they have different eye colors and skin complexions, but our followers have noticed that they do have similar features," Jacqueline said.

Puppy Playing in the Dark Discovers Shadow—Owner Can't Cope With Reaction
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Internet viewers have found a new superstar in the form of a dog who has discovered his shadow. TikTok user Lee, who posts under the username @lee_401, is the proud owner of two dogs: Gracie the "gentle giant"; and yellow Labrador retriever Max, who joined the family in 2024. Max is still very much in his puppy phase, and a video of the Labrador discovering his shadow has gone viral—because he was determined to make friends with it. In a clip posted on July 28 and already boasting more than 1.4 million views, Max's owner stands outside, looking at where Max is playing in the yard. It is dark, and the porch lights are casting his shadow huge against the opposing wall. And Max thinks he has found a new friend, as he runs backwards and forwards, left and right, jumping toward all sides, as his shadow copies his every movement. Max tilts his head, looking confused, but his tail continues wagging as he does the play bow, indicating he wants to be friends with the mystery dog. His owner captioned the sweet video: "Max made a new friend named 'Shadow'." And TikTok users instantly fell in love, awarding the video close to 250,000 likes in a matter of days, as one commenter wrote: "Your black lab is just as fast as your other dog." Another suggested the interaction would "make a great Pixar short," as a third posted: "I also thought there was another dog there, don't worry little guy." That user wasn't the only one, as another said they "legit thought he was playing with a larger black dog," and a third agreed: "It took me a hot minute to realize there was only one dog." Max chases his own shadow, trying to play with it. Max chases his own shadow, trying to play with it. TikTok @lee_401 Some commenters worried chasing shadows was not a good sign: while young dogs may do it for play, or out of curiosity and excitement, some canines can develop compulsive shadow-chasing in the form of Compulsive Canine Disorder, similar to OCD in humans, according to a vet-reviewed report by Dogster. However, Max's owner assured one concerned commenter that Max is just "being a puppy." "He has a sister he plays with all the time, he goes to doggy day care, and he goes and visits one of his littermates," Lee said. Newsweek has contacted @lee_401 via TikTok for comment on this story.

The footage begins with the dogs arriving at the woman's home in England, after traveling from Romania. At first, they are reluctant to enter, clearly unsure of their surroundings. An overlaid text on the video documents the first meeting step by step: "Nervous to come inside at first...I offered some seems very keen but Miso is still a bit but still him some space to the new approach to sniff...'I feel safe with you...I think we're home.'" By the end of the clip, the pair are captured nestled comfortably against their new owner, a moment of peace replacing their earlier anxiety. The caption accompanying the post read: "First hour with my Romanian rescue dogs. They were tired, scared and hungry for love. They melted my heart the moment I saw them. Welcome home my babies."

In the span of a few short clips, the dogs were shown relaxing their guard and embracing their new home. The pet owner has quickly drawn admiration, with viewers praising the calm and respectful introduction to a new environment. "Who are you and why are you making me cry at this time in the morning?" one viewer commented. "Like seriously who do you think you are. I love seeing the dogs' bodies relax, and their body language change over the course of the hour. They knew so quickly they were safe. Following to see how these precious babies learn to love life." "Wow this is so wonderful to see," another added. "We have adopted two Romanian street dogs over the years, and it is tough at times, but these guys are doing so well. Thank you for adopting them. Such lucky dogs." "I just finished a [12-hour] night shift, and this just made me go to bed feeling happy," a third viewer shared. "I know two angels are forever safe."

Momoa, 45, is a Hawaiian actor known for his roles in Game of Thrones, Aquaman and Dune.

Jason Momoa at the "Highest 2 Lowest" red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, on May To Know On Monday, Momoa posted an Instagram video of himself shaving, saying once the beard was gone, "I hate it." The post has received more than 70,000 likes. In the video, Momoa also said, "Only for you, Denis," referencing Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. The actor starred in 2021's Dune as Duncan Idaho. After sitting out Dune: Part Two, Momoa confirmed that he would return in the third installation of the franchise. He previously shaved his beard in 2019 ahead of filming for the first movie. In Dune, Momoa's character is the sword master and mentor to Timothée Chalamet's character, Paul Atreides. Toward the end of the film, Momoa's character sacrifices himself. In the books, he eventually returns as a clone. It is unclear whether Villeneuve will follow that plot point in the third film. Dune: Part Three features returning cast members Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh. The film is also set to feature Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, Momoa's teenage son with actor Lisa Bonet. Bonet and Momoa announced their split in 2022, and the two divorced in 2024. They have two children together, Nakoa-Wolf and daughter Lola Iolani. Momoa previously bid farewell to his facial hair in a 2019 YouTube video, which he also used to raise awareness of his aluminum bottle water brand. He said in that video that he hadn't shaved since 2012. In Monday's Instagram post, Momoa likewise featured his bottled water company, Mananalu. "I launched @mananalu to help eliminate single-use plastic. Now, we're taking it even further, partnering with our team at @Getboomerangwater to bring in a closed-loop system that sanitizes and bottles water onsite," he wrote in the caption. "That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminum bottles get reused over and over," he continued. Momoa added: "This is the future, and we're starting in Hawai'i. Let's get rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet." What People Are Saying Jason Momoa wrote on Instagram on Monday: "Haven't shaved in six years, and here we are again." What Happens Next Dune: Part Three is expected to land in theaters in December 2026.
