VOORHEES, NJ — In an extraordinary turn of events, a New Jersey family received a remarkable New Year’s surprise. The Humphrey family celebrated the birth of twin boys, one born in the final hour of 2023 and the other as 2024 began, at Virtua Voorhees Hospital. This unique occurrence has become the highlight of the maternity ward.
Eve and Billie Humphrey, initially astonished to learn they were expecting twins, faced an even bigger surprise when Eve went into labor early. The first twin, Ezra, arrived at 11:48 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, weighing 6 pounds. In a remarkable twist of fate, his brother Ezekiel made his entrance at 12:28 a.m. on New Year’s Day, weighing 4 pounds and 15 ounces.
The twins, born on different days and in different years, have already been dubbed as potential ‘world changers’ by their parents. The Humphrey family, which includes an older brother who is about to turn three, is thrilled and grateful for the healthy arrival of their new additions.
This rare occurrence of twins born in separate years has captivated the hearts of many and stands as a joyous start to the new year for the Humphrey family and the staff at Virtua Voorhees Hospital.
