This 31-year-old Nigerian woman had no idea what she was about to go through when she gave birth in February of that year. She can now distinguish her sons’ identical twins with ease. Even though Daniel and David were born only a few minutes apart, they don’t resemble one another at all.
Albinos are both of Stacy and Babajide’s children, who are both black and reside in Lagos. The adorable twins frequently attract attention wherever they go as a result of their noticeably dissimilar appearances. David is stunningly white with pale skin and golden hair, whereas Daniel resembles his 5-year-old big sister Demilade and has dark skin and black curly hair.
After only a year, the twins had nearly 18,000 followers on Instagram thanks to Stacy’s decision to share the odd couple’s activities there.
The twins’ birth on February 26 of last year completely caught everyone off guard.
“We did not know about their differences while I was pregnant, the scan did not show such so it was a huge surprise and the most amazing moment when the first twin (Daniel) came out with black hair and the second twin (David) came out with gold hair. I had them through CS, so the doctors were like: “It seems you are having totally unidentical twins.” Before I knew it, nurses started coming out to look at them,” mum of three, Stacy, explained.
The twins could be clearly distinguished from one another since one was black and the other was white
Stacy shared with us her husband’s heartfelt response to this turn of events.
“Their dad was really overwhelmed and immediately named My Twin 2 (David) ‘Golden,’ so he fondly calls him Mr. Golden. He was all overjoyed seeing his boys. He stood for more than 10 minutes staring at them and said he was just looking at God’s wonderful work and that they are his best gift ever.”
David falls into the highly unusual category of albinism; just 1 in 20,000 infants are born with this condition.
Albinism is a congenital condition that alters appearance due to a lack of melanin, the pigment generated in the skin, hair, and eyes. All racial and ethnic groups are impacted, and the type of pigmentation affects pigmentation to varying degrees. With a birth probability of between 3,000 and 20,000, albinism is a rare condition. Albinos must exercise extreme caution because it may result in a number of skin and vision problems.
David has gorgeous golden hair and an exceptionally pale complexion due to oculocutaneous albinism. Fortunately, Stacy claims that David has no health issues.
Nigeria is one of the nations with the greatest prevalence of albinism in the world with over two million confirmed or suspected cases. However, the statistics show that there is still a lot of prejudice against this community because of the color of its members’ skin. Over 600,000 albino Nigerians experience discrimination and harassment from their peers, family, and communities, which frequently results in difficulties on the job and academic failure.
Stacy did claim that her two sons are both unconditionally and equally adored and that no one has ever said anything unpleasant about them to her.
“There’re always side talks whenever we go out, people often wanna know how and what’s happening and maybe due to their cute and adorable nature, you just wanna come close to say hello.”
The twins’ family has been receiving modeling offers from agencies in the UK due to their odd features. The family is ready to take advantage of any opportunities that may present themselves and has created an Instagram account to share their joy and draw attention to significant issues. Stacy and I decided to create an account for them in order to spread awareness since we believe they have a story to tell.
“They have two different amazing personalities, they are a year+ now, walking and very playful,” said Stacy
“Daniel is more expressive while David is an observer. Both of them are highly inquisitive. Daniel is a foodie while David is quite picky; Daniel is extremely playful while David chooses moments; Daniel always likes to play the bigger brother role; they are both energetic.”
Richard Gere, 75, and his wife Alejandra Silva, 41, recently stole the spotlight with a public display of affection on the red carpet at the Zurich Film Festival
The 75-year-old Richard Gere and his 41-year-old wife Alejandra Silva recently wowed onlookers with their passionate gesture on the Zurich Film Festival red carpet as they attended the film’s premiere of “Wisdom of Happiness.” On October 8, 2024, Silva dazzled in a gorgeous cream and silver gown, while Gere looked smart in a classic black tuxedo. As they posed together, the couple, who looked to be totally in love, enjoyed intimate moments that highlighted their strong bond.
Gere wore a black bow tie and a spotless white shirt to go with his elegant tuxedo for their romantic evening at Corso in Zurich. Silva wore a sleeveless dress with a unique layered design that accentuated her toned arms. The silver heels perfectly complemented her manicure.
Supporters were eager to show their appreciation for the couple, complimenting their appearance and chemistry in numerous remarks. “How sweet,” one fan wrote, while another said, “She is a very attractive lady.” What he sees in her, I see as well. They are a compatible pair. “Beautiful couple,” and “Love Richard Gere,” were posted by other admirers.
Although the majority of responses were encouraging, one person expressed dissent, saying, “She’s much younger, but hey, it’s their life.” I dislike her outfit at this place. Furthermore, a few fans pointed to a similarity between Silva and Julia Roberts, the actress who costarred with Gere in the cherished movie “Pretty Woman.”
One of the movie’s most iconic scenes had Gere’s character, Edward, playing the piano as Roberts’ character, Vivian, walked in. Years later, Gere made a sarcastic quip about their electric chemistry, adding, “I mean, no chemistry.” It was clear that there was no chemistry between this actor and this actress. That’s not anything I’ve seen in a while. It’s a seductive scene.
The real bond between Gere and Silva was evident during their appearance, as they remained close, in sharp contrast to the dynamics on screen. Before, Silva told Richard how happy she was, saying, “I never thought I’d find a man so perfect for me.” There are no words to express how happy I am. She has also stated that it was intended for them to be apart in terms of age. Silva remarked, “He has promised me at least 20 good years!” and said that Gere’s intensity frequently made it difficult for her to keep up with him.
Silva also brought attention to the fact that friends frequently make assumptions about what Gere gains from her and remark on how much he loves her. She feels that her steadfast dedication to serving others has given him stability. Above all, the fact that I wasn’t a model or an actor helped. That has never piqued my attention. Our shared commitment to Buddhism and the Tibetan people, as well as our desire to assist those in need, are what have most brought us together, she said.
Silva’s resolve to stick with Gere is reinforced by her description of their love as the most romantic and delightful dream she has ever had. Gere has stated that, as a result of being married to a lady who is so stunning, wise, and compassionate, he feels like the happiest guy alive. He is impressed by her commitment to humanitarian causes, her easygoing demeanor, her patience, and her extraordinary culinary abilities—especially her renowned salads.
Every time they go to important occasions together, their devotion for one another is obvious. On September 1, 2024, Gere made a noteworthy appearance at the Venice Film Festival in Italy. He was accompanied not only by his spouse, but also by his attractive son, Homer Gere.
The duo was the talk of the red carpet at the amfAR Gala Venezia. Gere looked dapper in his tuxedo, and Silva complemented him with an equally elegant dark blue gown by Silvia Tcherassi that included gorgeous lace floral appliqués. The dress had a daring low-cut back and a flowing skirt with a high neckline.
Videos from the occasion showed the pair exchanging passionate looks and striking poses for the cameras. Homer even made an appearance, flaunting his tuxedo and spending quality time with his father. Many people made comments about their appearances as the crowd saw the family connection, with one saying, “His son looks a lot like him! fortunate man
Gere was spotted joyfully greeting spectators as they arrived by boat at the Venice Film Festival, prior to their glitzy event. During their boat ride, they were also observed conversing, underscoring the close relationship between father and son.
about stage during the festival, Gere reflected about his 1978 debut picture, “Days of Heaven,” in a moving moment. “This is so emotional for me to see— this is my first film and [..] I don’t think I’ve seen this probably in 30/40 years,” he said after seeing a moment from the film. Noting that he was only a few years older than his son at the time he made the movie, he took great satisfaction in Homer’s emerging acting career and acknowledged his artistic ability.
