Caprice Plans To Raise Her Birth Son And Surrogate Son As Twins – Despite Their Birthdays Being Weeks Apart

The model is paving her way with her unique family set up

Caprice Bourret made headlines in August 2013, when she gave birth to one of her sons just weeks after her surrogate gave birth to the other.

The model, who named the boys Jax and Jett, has never revealed which of her sons she gave birth to – and doesn’t plan to let them know yet, either.

Instead, the celeb mum is planning on raising the boys, who are almost two, as twins and has even decided to give them the same birthday.

“If anyone asks, are they twins? I always reply, yes,” the 43 year old told Hello! magazine. “I need quite a long time to tell my story and they look so close in age it is easier to say they are twins.

“When it comes to their birthdays, I will find an official date and we'll celebrate on the same day.”

Despite choosing to keep their real birth dates a secret, Caprice says she’ll tell them ‘”the truth” when they’re older and let them decide if they want to continue celebrating their birthdays together.

“As they get older, it will be up to them if they prefer separate birthdays,” she reveals. “So yes, I will tell them the truth eventually, but I don't think it will affect them in a bad way or make them feel any different.

“I love these boys so much, more than my own life, and I'm their biological mother.”

Although Jax and Jett aren’t technically twins, their closeness in age has meant that they’re growing up with a very close bond, says their mum.

“They adore each other but also drive one another mad.  So they'll fight over ridiculous things like their cars or who gets on a swing first, yet if they're not together every moment they miss each other.”

Caprice’s parenting style is very unique as her situation is almost unheard of. The model and her partner Ty Comfort discovered they were expecting a baby just weeks after her surrogate became pregnant. The couple called it the “shock of their life” and Caprice previously admitted to going 10 pregnancy tests to be sure.

“They are genetically, biologically mine and I don’t want to make a big deal about it and say this one came from a gestational carrier, this one did not,” the model told Daily Mail after the boys’ births.

“The way I look at it, I just had a babysitter for one of them. I love them both exactly the same and I am so, so thankful for each of them.

“One day I will tell them one had a babysitter for nine months, but it is important for me to do that in my own time. And I want to tell them, I don’t want somebody else to do it.”
