Leah Rose and Ava Marie Clements marked their 7th birthday in 2017 with a life-changing decision—creating an Instagram account that instantly captivated thousands. Overnight, their extraordinary beauty drew attention, and they quickly became known as the “most beautiful twins in the world.”
A Remarkable Rise to Fame
Hailing from California, Leah and Ava, now 14, have established themselves as internationally recognized child models. Their journey began when their mother, Jaqi Clements, decided to share photos of her twin daughters online. Initially, the Instagram account was meant for friends and family, but it didn’t take long for the world to take notice.
The twins’ unique charm and striking features resonated with social media users, and soon, modeling agencies and brands started reaching out. What started as a simple Instagram page transformed into a powerful platform, propelling them into the modeling industry.
“In the beginning, I had no idea how social media worked,” Jaqi shared in her blog. “If you had asked me six months before whether 300,000 followers was a lot, I wouldn’t have known.”
Today, the twin sisters boast nearly 3 million followers across Instagram and Facebook. Their success has led to collaborations with major brands like Disney, Nike, and Target, solidifying their status as some of the most sought-after young models in the industry.
Facing Criticism and Overcoming Doubts
Despite their success, the Clements family faced backlash from critics who questioned whether such a young age was appropriate for a modeling career.
Jaqi, however, firmly defended her daughters’ choices, explaining that modeling was something they genuinely wanted to pursue. She emphasized that she and her husband, Kevin, were not profiting from their daughters’ careers but were instead making financial sacrifices to support their dreams.
“I never forced them into modeling—it was their decision,” Jaqi explained. “And if they ever choose to walk away from it, I will support them wholeheartedly.”
A Personal Battle: When Social Media Became a Lifeline
In October 2019, the Clements family faced an unexpected crisis. Kevin, the twins’ father and a high school swim coach, began feeling unwell. What initially seemed like a common cold turned out to be something far more serious—T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.
Determined to help, Leah and Ava turned to their massive social media following in hopes of finding a bone marrow donor for their father.
“If he gets a transplant, his cancer will go away quicker,” Ava shared in an interview.
Leah added, “It’s amazing how many people want to help my dad. The more people who get tested, the better.”
Their call to action was met with an overwhelming response. Thousands of people got tested in hopes of being a match. Although Kevin ultimately found a donor in his own brother, Chris, many of those who stepped forward were added to the national registry, potentially saving other lives in the process.
More Than Just Pretty Faces
Now 14, Leah and Ava continue to captivate audiences with their beauty, but their impact extends far beyond modeling. They balance their careers with school, family, and advocacy, proving that they are much more than just social media stars.
Their journey—from being local models to international sensations—stands as a testament to their resilience, hard work, and the unwavering support of their family. As they continue to evolve, the world eagerly watches to see what the future holds for these remarkable young women.
