We’re identical sisters dating identical twin brothers – people ask the same questions & yes, we do mix up our partners
A PAIR of identical twin sisters who are dating twin brothers have admitted that they have to take extra care not to mix up their own boyfriends.
Brazilian influencers Larissa and Leticia Lazzarin, 19, who are dating identical twin brothers Lucas and Filipe Orsato, told how to make things even trickier, their partners both sport matching beards and refuse to shave them off.
However, they’ve since revealed exactly how they can tell which twin apart – despite them being indistinguishable to outsiders.
“We joked about the issue of the beard, but no one ever kissed wrong, nor hugged!” said Filipe, who’s dating Leticia.
“As we’ve lived together for a long time, I kind of think there isn’t that much to it, like a memorised technique.
“Like, mine, Leticia, is shorter, but by the way she looks, the way she walks, the way she talks, we already know which one she is.”
And Leticia went on to add that they’re used to noticing tiny differences – despite both sets of twins being identical.
“It’s automatic for us now,” she said.
But while Larissa pointed out that her boyfriend and his brother “are completely different people,” her partner noted how some people find it all rather confusing.
Lucas said: “People think we’re confusing, but it’s just entertainment.
“It may look like that sometimes from afar, so we expect it.”
Larissa added: “I think we almost always lived like three minutes away from their house, but we didn’t know we lived that close, we didn’t even know each other.”
However, geneticist Salmo Raskin warned that if the two couples ever have children their offspring will be almost as close as brothers and sisters.
The doctor explained the rare phenomenon called “quaternary twins” would give the children the same sort of DNA mix similar as siblings.
Dr Raskin commented: “Genetically, they have more genetic material in common, these cousins, than from parents who are not twins.
“So, they have material as if they were genetically from siblings,
“The number of quaternary twins in the population is very small, because being a twin is already rare, being a monozygotic twin is even rarer. Marrying twins is even rarer.”
In one earlier video filmed at a gym in Toledo, Brazil, Larissa Lazzarin joked about the confusion saying: “That one over there is my twin, and I’m almost certain he’s my boyfriend, then I get confused.”
Then she looks at her sister’s boyfriend working out nearby and says: “But when I look at the other one, I realise that he’s my boyfriend, but still, he really looks like mine.
“They’re too alike, maybe we switched and didn’t even notice, but this one here is mine.”
Larissa, 19, wrote alongside the video, which was viewed 11.9 million times in just two days: “It’s a real head-scratcher.”
One TikTok user commented: “I imagine the gym getting all confused when they see a couple on one side and suddenly see another on the other side.”
Another joked: “Can you imagine both couples having twin children?”
And a third suggested: “You could wear matching bracelets so both of you know who is who.”
