Leah Rose and Ava Marie Clements celebrated their seventh birthday in 2017 by launching an Instagram account that quickly gained followers who were astounded by their stunning beauty. The California twins, known as the “most beautiful twins in the world,” are now 14 years old and internationally acclaimed child models, with a narrative as intriguing as their heavenly appearance.
In 2017, Jaqi Clements decided to share photos of her identical twin girls, Leah and Ava, on social media. Initially, the posts were simply a means of sharing their life with friends and family. However, netizens quickly noticed their amazing attractiveness, and the account gained traction. People were drawn to the twins’ charm and natural beauty, and modeling agencies and businesses began to contact them shortly thereafter. That modest Instagram page grew into a tremendous platform that transformed their lives.
“Instagram was something that I hadn’t used much before starting an account for the girls,” the mother of three says in her blog post. “If you asked me six months ago if 300,000 followers was a lot…””I would not have known.” The twin sisters now have nearly 3 million Instagram and Facebook followers, as well as high-profile collaborations with brands such as Disney, Nike, and Target, solidifying their position as top child models.
The Clements family attracted widespread criticism for allowing their twin daughters to pursue modeling at such a young age. Jaqi steadfastly supported her decision. She said that modeling was the twins’ dream, not something thrust upon them. She highlighted that she and her husband, Kevin, were not profiting from their daughters, but rather making personal financial sacrifices to help the girls pursue their passions.
“My girls made the decision to start modeling, not me. And if they ever want to move on to anything else, I will completely back their decision,” Jaqi writes. In October 2019, the Clements twins’ Instagram account, which had already amassed millions of followers as a result of their modeling success, became a lifeline to their father.The Clements’ life took an unexpected turn when Kevin, the father of three and head swim coach at a local high school, developed what he thought was a moderate cold.
Kevin, aged 39, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Determined to help, the twins turned to social media, hoping to find a match among their millions of followers for their father’s life-saving bone marrow transplant. “If he gets a transplant, his cancer will go away quicker,” Ava told People in 2019.
Leah added, “People are very kind to want to help my father. “The more people that are tested, the better.”Thousands of people responded to the twins’ requests to help their father, and while Kevin found a match in his brother Chris, those who provided their support were added to a national register to assist other sufferers.Ava and Leah are now lovely 14-year-olds who continue to model and interact with their rapidly growing fan following. The sisters’ rise from local models to international sensations is a monument to their determination, charisma, and the unfailing support of their family.
Balancing their successful modeling careers with family, school, and advocacy, Leah and Ava have demonstrated that they are more than just lovely faces; they are an inspiration to many, and as they continue to grow, the world eagerly awaits what the future holds for these incredible young stars.
