The inspiring story of Teigan and former NRL star Alex McKinnon has added its most breathtaking chapter of all with the arrival of baby twin daughters.
Teigan and Alex greeted their twin babies at 3:13 p.m. and 3:19 p.m. Monday afternoon at Newcastle Private Hospital.
Jill and John’s middle names were chosen from the name of Teigan’s grandmother and the name of Alex’s grandfather.
The couple’s two and a half year old daughter, Harriett, spent the first few hours overflowing the twins with cuddles and kisses.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Alex spoke with relief and excitement about the arrival of her double bundle of joys.
« After we have our first baby and are lucky enough to have a healthy and happy Harriett, all parents want everything to go smoothly the second time, and that’s exactly what happened.
« Audrey was the first and then I thought okay for the second, little Violette.
« It’s just so special and I’m so grateful again that Teigan and the girls are doing so well. »
McKinnon, who suffered a devastating spinal injury in an attack that left him quadriplegic seven years ago, previously admitted he was both nervous and excited about being the father of three girls.
« Harriett has already started helping, she’s just beautiful with the babies, » said McKinnon.
