Chef Tini Younger grew her online fanbase with mac and cheese, but she was cooking up something different on social media on June 20th. Younger and her husband,  Antoine Wright Jr., took to Instagram to cook up a couple of buns. It wasn’t their typical content, though.

At the end of the video, Younger and Wright Jr. revealed they are expecting twins. While they didn’t offer a ton of details about the upcoming arrival, they did share one fun fact. Apparently, the duo is expecting identical twins. They did not share their due date or the gender of their upcoming arrivals.

Identical twins are rare, accounting for one-third of all twin births. According to several sources, the chance of having identical twins is 1 in 250. Fraternal twins are more common.

How did Tini Younger and Antoine Wright Jr. meet?

Tini Younger and Antoine Wright Jr. met as teens through mutual friends during a trip to McDonald’s. They had their first date in 2019 and have been together ever since.

The duo announced their engagement in 2023, with Wright popping the question at Thanksgiving dinner. They wed the following year. According to Mashed, their wedding included personal touches, like a Marvel-themed cake to celebrate Wright’s interest in the cinematic universe.

Younger’s popularity on TikTok was partially inspired by Wright Jr. She first went viral with her “Cooking for My Boyfriend” series and her popularity exploded thanks to her mac and cheese recipe. The culinary graduate has gone on to partner with several brands and even appeared on Next Level Chef.
