An Ohio couple who were born on the exact same day have now welcomed twins on their joint birthday.
Scierra Blair, 32, and fiancé Jose Ervin, 31, were both born on August 18 — and their newborns have since arrived on that date.
Jose Ervin III was born at 12:35 a.m. at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital, while sister Ar’ria Lannette Ervin arrived just a minute later.
Their father has since told People: ‘They were my birthday present and I’m good at that. I’m so excited. I kiss them about 30,000 times a day.’

The couple started dating a few days before their shared birthday in 2022 and quickly bonded over it.
Jose told the outlet, “I thought she was telling a story, because she asked me about my birthday and then said that was pretty ironic because that’s my birthday.
“I’m like, get out. But she showed me her ID and proved me wrong.”
The pair didn’t think they’d be spending their next birthday together in the maternity ward.
Scierra revealed that twins run in both families and so added, while not surprised, that she was happy to have welcomed both a boy and a girl.
The original due date was August 28, but after a regular doctor’s appointment on August 17, Scierra was told that their son was in a breech position and that it would be best to have a C-section.
The couple went to the hospital to prepare for the surgery, where Jose asked Scierra if she could hold on a little longer so that the new family could all share the same birthday.
He revealed: “Since she was in good health and not stressed, and the kids were in good health and not stressed, I thought, ‘Why not wait?’

Scierra reluctantly agreed, adding, “I was hungry and just wanted it to be over.” He said, “It’s just a few hours, and it’ll pass real quick.”
‘And I just looked at him and said, ‘It’s easy for you to talk. I’m hungry.’
She was able to last another six hours by nibbling on ice cubes before going through with the delivery – with everyone involved healthy and now recovering at home.
Jose said the new arrivals were a “blessing” before adding it was “the best birthday present ever.”
It now means the whole family can celebrate together, with Jose adding ‘that’s wonderful.’
