Famous mothers and fathers are parents to a striking number of twins. Yes, there are so many celebrities with twins out there that you likely never knew existed.

We did some digging to uncover celebrities with twins and compile a list for you to enjoy. Below, you will find some truly picture-perfect families with double trouble on their hands.
