Megan and Morgan first captured the public’s attention in 2015 when their mother shared their photo on Instagram. At only four years old, the twins quickly gained internet fame due to their captivating eye color: one twin has striking blue eyes while the other has one blue eye and one dark brown.
After their photo went viral on the internet, the little girls, Megan and Morgan, became overnight sensations, appearing in numerous fashion shows and events.
Born in June 2011 in Philadelphia, the TrueBlue Twins are now both eleven years old.
Stephanie Boyd and Lovell Knight are the parents of the TrueBlue Twins.
“When Stephanie Boyd gave birth to her twins on 6 June 2011, everyone around her could immediately tell that the girls stood out. One thing that set them apart was that they were black twins with blue eyes, which does not often happen among black people. Before they became famous on the internet, the girls were already well-known in their community. Their nickname, Trueblue Twins, is what their mother and family used to refer to them when they were born. Furthermore, whenever their parents came across someone they knew, the person would ask to have pictures with them,” wrote a news outlet.
The mom, Stephanie, a plus-size model, and social media influencer, is also the manager of her daughters’ Instagram account, which boasts over 818K followers.
Megan and Morgan’s YouTube channel boasts an impressive fan base, with over 61,000 subscribers eagerly tuning in to watch their videos.
Yen News reports that the twins’ mother, Stephanie, enjoyed documenting her daily life on the Internet. Following the birth of her daughters in 2011, Stephanie began sharing cute pictures and videos of Megan and Morgan on various platforms.
In 2015, after a Camden-based musician and tattoo artist shared one of the twins’ photos on his social media account, their posts, which were frequently reposted by friends and family members on Instagram, went viral.
“One of the twins’ photos immediately received more than 2,000 likes in a day. They then took over Instagram and headed to Facebook. As a result, their online fan base increased, and some influencers even started creating content about the girls.”
By sharing content created by other influencers on her social media account, Stephanie Boyd’s post gained more than six million views. This led to a ripple effect with celebrities like Ray Ray, members of the Mindless Behavior band, Yandy Smith, and Wendy Williams, sharing their photos and videos on their respective pages.
The TrueBlue Twins are affected by Heterochromia Iridis, a syndrome characterized by one iris having a different color than the other.
Megan and Morgan have grown to become successful social media influencers and fashion models, collaborating with big brands. While their mother, Stephanie, enjoys sharing their content and monetizing it online, their father, Lovell Knight, desires for his kids to have a regular childhood like other children.
“Sometimes, I don’t like the unwanted attention my babygirls get when we are out and having family time. It’s like they are celebrities now; people would come and click pictures with them and then are out shooting with brands and fashion shows and whatnot. I want them to have a simpler life,” he said.
