Unknowing twins marry each other
A set of British twins who were separated at birth went on to marry each other without realizing they were related, the UK Press Association reported Friday.
The brother and sister, who were adopted by separate parents, were given an annulment after a High Court judge ruled that the marriage had never been valid.
Their identities and details of their relationship have been kept secret, but the Press Association reported that the duo did not find out that they were blood relatives until after they were married.
David Alton, a member of the House of Lords, revealed their situation as a way of highlighting perceived shortcomings in the Human Embryology and Tissues Bill which is now going through Britain's Parliament.
He first heard of the twins' marriage in a conversation with a High Court judge, and initially raised the case in a House of Lords debate on December 10.
Alton said: "(The brother and sister) met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation.
"I suspect that it will be a matter of litigation in the future if we do not make information of this kind available to children who have been donor-conceived."
Alton is concerned that the new bill would allow the biological identity of one parent to be removed from the birth certificate, PA reported, and that there would be no way for the child to know if they had been donor-conceived.
He told PA on Friday: "The state is colluding in a deception. We are opening the door to more cases like this one. One of the most fundamental things of all is to know who you are. The issue here is about human rights.
"A birth certificate that omits any mention of your true origin falsifies your history in a very significant way."
conjoined twins are always identical from the same egg splitting which means they have to be the same sex since they are genetically the same. So this story is BS. Perez you bored? Why post nonsense?
I can't believe that some people are so stupid as to believe that the photo of the babies is a photo of the couple in question. How stupid can they be?
Take the picture off your website.
Boycott.
i dunno why people are all saying its gross..
they didnt know they were twins…so they fell i love
yea its weird but its understandable
thats sad though
i hope for the best to become of this situation for both.
That picture is disgusting and sad.
Not only has Perez showed his utter lack of respect for his readers, but a total lapse in judgement and sense of humor to even think posting a picture of someone's dead babies. Take the picture down for goodness sake! Very poor taste, Perez.
Okay, real scientist here…actually people, joined twins can be different sexes…lol…any regular person who's taken bio 101 can tell you that it's all about one egg/dna splitting…ha…BUT sometimes there is more than one egg in the womb and eggs can join! Usually a type of cannabalization scenario takes place. Ever heard of chimeras? Or people finding a dead twin/tumor in their bodies? Very rare but it is documented. So, the point here…jesus people stop with the badmouthing…!!!

You are a sick fuck. The picture is awful and not even a warning, no, just there, two dead babies. Thanks for putting that image in my head. I hope you get some kind of backlash from this.
Thank you, Cdub! Either someone had a sex change or this is all a load of crap!
I was just able to bring up the CNN article. SHAME ON YOU, PEREZ! They were not separated conjoined twins, you moron. You're misleading your readers by posting the fake pic.
MORON!
what is with this picture of dead looking siamese twins? siamese twins are always identical, so, they obviously were not SEPARATED literally.
What is with this picture? I love your site, come on here many times a day. I'm so sad.
I normally love your site, but this is disgusting even for you. Dead babies are nothing to joke about, I cannot believe you would do such a thing, are you eve human?
And you make fun of the way Britney treats kids???
WTF???
Perez, why would you post such an awful picture of 2 innocent children! Do you want to lose readers?
That's sad.
YOU'RE FUCKIN' SICK! Did you need to show that photo? Not at all. Remove it. It's sad. Someone lost their conjoined twins, and you think it's funny?
take the picture down ASSHOLE, it isn't even related to the story
I love your site but the picture of the babies needs to go.
Perez, you stupid, fucking idiot!!!!!!!! I can't believe even you would stoop so low as to post that picture. Those poor babies. You should be ashamed. Why couldn't it have been YOU in their place instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yeah that pic is disturbing!! but that is what he meant to do!! you are a fucking crazy outrageous funny bitch perez!! I love it!!!!!
perez the picture is seriously too much….
Unless I am terribly mistaken…siamese twins result from one egg separating and not fully doing so to create an IDENTICAL twin. That would mean they would have to be the SAME sex wouldn't it?
That picture is just….So insensitive. Those babies belonged to someone who loved them. Have you no heart? Is nothing sacred? What the hell is wrong with you? I won't be back.
This brings low to a whole new level.
why the fuck the picture, asshole?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!INCENST IS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh, you cant be conjoined twins and be two different sexes…it is impossible…this picture is horrible…get rid of it…poor little girls….I hope those babies are not dead…
Sorry to do this, perez, but I just emailed Diageo, the makers of ciroc vodka.
I cannot articulate how offended i am of this picture. As a woman i feel a particular offence. The thought of having twins and finding out they were conjoined and have them die at birth….it would be devastating. You need to seriously question why your moral perimeters are so incredibly low.
GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: becky –
LOL!!!
The pic is in appropriate for website like this? You are a fucking idiotic bimbo. As for disrespectful to the dead babies…they're dead. I don't think they fucking care you stupid cunt.
this is the most offensive pic you've ever put up!!! it's not right to put up pics of deformed children like this just for entertainment value. celebs are fair game, not innocent kids!
Why in the world would you put a preautopsy picture of conjoined, dead infants on your website? Those babies are not alive and never were. Who wants to look at the sadness and grief that two dead, deformed children represent? Wow- this is so beneath even you, Perez.
This photograph is completely offensive and inappropriate. I check your blog daily and I am now ashamed that I do. Remove this photo immediately and do not put photos like this on your blog ever again.
You really shouldn't have posted that picture. Shame on you, you sick fuck.
YOU SHOULD DELETE THIS THREAD LIKE THE TIME YOU GOT RID OF THE ONE WITH GLORIA ESTEFAN THAT SHE MUST HAVE CALLED YOU ABOUT AND SAID "HEY PEREZ BABY, GET ME OFFA THERE!"
What is this, "FACES OF DEATH PART VI?" Get rid of this awful shit!
I know its been said already but you eed to know that you have disappointed your fans by using his picture. Those babies are most certainly deceased and you put them on an entertainment news site. Wrong, so wrong of you and I'm sure that some people that read your site are now questioning your moral ethics. It one thing to post pictures and stories of celebs but this is wrong. They are someones children. You owe us all an apology.

I, too, have complained to your sponsor, the makers of Ciroc Vodka. I hop they pull their support of your website.
Re: sue –
I did the same!!! Ciroc will forever remind me of 2 dead baby girls who did at one time live as evidenced by the bowel movements they passed sometime before they died. SICK SICK SICK!
hahahahahaha
As an adoptee that is a product of a closed adotption and someone who promotes access to birth records and reunions, this is something always in the back of my mind. Stranger things have happened, right? This is probably as extreme as an outcome that I can imagine for records not being shard and open. Luckily they didn't have children.
How sad.
Completely unnecessary picture Perez.
they weren't not conjoined twins! now THAT would be weird…
they weren't conjoined twins! now THAT would be weird…
I SMELL A REALITY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR REAL THOUGH THAT HAS GOT TO BE SO BAD, YOU IMAGINE THEY HAD TO HAVE SEX! MAKES ME WANNA CRY!
I also emailed a complaint and request that they remove advertising until the picture is removed and an apology is given. Please take this down Perez.
it doesn't say CONJOINED twins! it just says "twins separated at birth." which means, they were adopted by different families…you frickin dopes…great pic perez…luv it…and love you!!
i'm so sick..lulz…
Perez, please take that picture down. It's highly innapropriate and makes me sad to look at it. That's a sick thing to do. Please take it down.

OMG!! plz take the picture out!!! its horrible and insulting…
did they kiss?? eww did they get "together" uhhh god. the trauma!!!
why not take the picture down and replace it with angelina jolie kissing her brother?
SO FUCKED UP….even more than Brit!!!!!
SO FUCKED UP….even more than Brit!!!!!
SO FUCKED UP….even more than Brit!!!!!
Bullshit!!! Conjoined twins are identical twins whose bodies became joined in utero…therefore they are the same sex.
That is gross…seems like an episode of Law and Order: SVU. Marrying your brother or sister…NASTY!!!
That picture is really sad Perez. You should warn people before you post stuff like that…I was shocked. Take it off please?
Take the Picture Down!!!!
Wow, that is crazy… but what is disgusting, is the picture you used to highlight the story… yuck!
Conjoined twins can not be opposite sex. They are Identical females or males.
THAT PHOTO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS STORY. WHY IS IT BEING SHOWN? YOU SHOULD REMOVE IT, SERIOUSLY. *shakes head* LOW FOR EVEN YOU.
I hope you have permission from the MOTHER of those poor dead babies to parade them on this website for what you quite obviously thought was entertainment value you sick fuck.
Re: Candy – dead baies are funny huh? Maybe yours will die now and you can laugh your ass off. stupid cunt.
and to be frank i am outraged and appalled that despite all these comments showing how distressing people have found this picture you have neither apologised nor removed the pictures. you are officially scum. its actually unbelievable. also seriously i cant imagine you having permission to use this photo. these were someones babies. if i was the parent and i found out photos of them had been used in this way i would be suing your fucking fat arse off.
#17 - karma - im pretty sure those babies are dead.. and i also find this extremely offensive as my beautiful baby boy Jaxson was stillborn in sept 07 at 39 weeks… TAKE THAT PICTURE DOWN…
Why must you post a picture like this? I very much enjoyed your blogs but now I've come to understand that you have no heart at all. I'm even ashamed of coming to your website. You don't do this for entertainment anymore, rather to further yourself in this materialistic world. You are UGLY.
are you sure it wasn't Heidi and Spencer?
Perez, Ill be the first to admit I can be a real prick. But this is pushing even my limits. Dead babies? How dare you exploit those poor souls who suffered from their first breath. How dare you hurt so many people like this–you have NO idea. Are you incapable of empathy, Perez? Think of Teddy and how you'd feel if someone posted his dead pic.
Re: Phillie – Generally? More like always.
Wow. I was a big fan. I won't be coming here anymore.
Have you thought about the pain you have caused people and obviously don't care about? People are pleading with you to have a heart, for goodness sakes! I will never come back to this site. I am offended for those babies who were someone's children and I am offended as a parent. I am particularly sad and pained that there are a number of parents who come to your site who are at this moment having their hearts broken all over again when they were subjected to seeing dead babies. If I were a bereaved parent I would so fucking sue your ass. This is NOT what people who come to an entertainment fluffy site expect to see. Pics of DEAD babies are not cool. You suck in the worst way.
Perhaps perez (mario) should have died at birth. Along with anyone who finds this travesty of human decency amusing.
as a mother and as someone who has studied medicine, the picture you posted for this article is truly distressing. it is one thing to poke fun at adults, but to use photographic documentation of such a tragedy is absolutely unacceptable. you should be ashamed of yourself.
And in agreement with a previous comment, i think this is just a good solid clue that i need to stop wasting time on your maliciousness and grotesque gossip.
This photo is so sad and offensive, I don't see how someone with a conscience could publish it on their site. I read this site for the celebrity gossip. I don't want mean-spirited actions like this one in my life. I'm through with perez hilton. Shame on you.
Please send email ot the advertiser that is the wallpaper behind this offensive photo to share your disgust over his lack of response to the hundereds of requests to remove this photo - if perez won't listen to his reader, maybe he will to his sponsors.
The email address is Corporatecitizenship@diageo.com
that picture is fucking disgusting.
Being separated at birth does not necessarily require surgery. It means the children were adopted by different families at birth.
that picture is fucking gross.
I mean…did they still wanna be married after they found out or what?? Lol, sad
Tears are streaming down my face. This photo has resurfaced years of buried pain from the two babies I lost to genetic birth defects. I will never visit your site for the rest of my life and I'll make sure everyone I know does the same. I take comfort in knowing that you can never procreate. Darwinism at its best. Enjoy your meaningless life with your temporary cash as you attempt to validate yourself in this world. I'll be contacting your major advertisers. Goodbye.
Please take that picture down. I don't see how it is at all related to the story. It is incredibly disturbing and shocking to see, and far worse than anything you post under "if you are easily offended". I don't understand why you didn't post a warning. Even if there had been a warning about this picture it would have sickened me to see it used in this way.
The conjoining babies in this picture are dead. I can only hope that only reason this picture was taken (probably a very long time ago), was for medical instructional purposes. To post this on a celebrity gossip site is macabre and disturbing.
gross… but i feel bad for them.
Perez,
your hard core fans have been behind you throughout all
Kinds of controversy. You reciprocate the favor by disrespecting us with such an inconsiderate picture. Those babies are helpless, naked and dead. I used to think you were pretty clever and cool in your own way. Now I kinda think you would do anything for a dollar. But hey, I'm sure the pedophiles like this crap!
Perez - what a complete and total disappointment. I've been a loyal reader for over a year, at least once a day, sometimes several. I'm a parent though - of two little boys and have also lost two pregnancies. What would possess someone to post a picture of these poor children? Do you see the pain on their faces, even in death. It is truly sad. What is disappointing is that you seem to support exploiting their pain and death. There are lines in this world and Perez you crossed a big one. All of us make mistakes and you do have an opportunity to fix this situation. Until then, I cannot in good conscious support your business.
There is something mentally wrong with you mate. I've thought it for a while but this cements it. You have no conscience. Your love for Amy, Santa and the elfs has warped your humanity. Your a zombie perez. That's real great about Nicole and her baby but seriously who cares. We care about the pics above. Her "princess" is not a princess. She said it herself…see was on all fours, someone came up behind her and next thing she knew she was pregnant. That's real class.
The only joined twins I know are you and Jason Davis. You found each other too. The Pigman and the Goatman. May you live happily ever after. Humpty Dumpty fell but you know it's not that they couldn't put him back together again…they just couldn't care less. Exactly how I feel. Take the Vain Brigade, Mayer, Santa, Paris and co and do us a favor - shove it. Anyone that thinks Paris Hilton is a nice person -as I just heard you say on a radio program needs to be committed and institutionalized much more than Brit.
You have hit the the low of all lows. Disgusting.
Re: puss –
I thought they'd all be interested so I sent emails, including the link to the pic, to every one of them, other sites with links to this site, and also to a few media outlets. I hope this sick puke is forgotten soon and left to wallow in his own muck.
oh that's sad…but the pic is gross
Dear Perez,
I don't know if you are aware of this, but that photo is widely used to demonstrate the fact that cojoined twins can be born where one twin has died. If you look at the photo, the twin on the right has passed away, whilst the twin on the left seems to still be alive.
I find the wierd as amusing as everyone esle, but putting up photos of dead children is too much even for perezhilton.com. Can you take it down, please?
I can only assume that you didn't fully understand the photot before you posted it.
I find your words offensive
who gives a shit if he posted a picture of simese twins? whateves!
perez u insenstive prick those are somebody's children…. shame on u
What a heart. Or, let me rephrase, you have no heart. I can just see it. You sitting there laughing at all of your readers because you have managed to piss off people and get some ire up. You and your blue, purple, pink whatever stupid hair eating your boxes of ding dongs and twinkies. You say you care about babies and such, oh and you "care" about your readers. You know what you big assed punk - you suck and you have no heart. They way you have shown your true colors and basically flipped off your readers is something else. Beyond that, I can't tell you how appalled I am that you have left that photo up of those poor babies. Those are someone's babies! They are not for your exploitation or for your fun or profit. I will NEVER again come to this site. You truly are spreading bad seed everywhere and the sad thing is you probably don't give a rat's ass. Your time is coming up for your fall. It is very shameful that you show how some "humans" are. There are parents here that have lost babies and they painfully told you - yet you did nothing to remove that picture. How wonderful that you gleefully say three celebs had babies today but yet you exploit these poor children. To all the parents out there that have been hurt by this blue haired giant smurf, I send you hugs and only wish I could make your pain a bit less. You will be the ones in my thoughts. Again, I will never be back on this horrid site again. (yeah,like you really care)
Readers - if you click on the ads (I know, that's what they WANT us to do, but…), then click "contact us," you can write Perez's sponsors an e-mail telling them that Perez has posted offensive pictures of dead babies on his site, that you find it disgusting and that you wanted to notify them that you'll no longer be visiting his site and consequently, THEIR sites. Let them know that you hope they'll make the right choice rather than one driven solely by revenue.
I know a lot of people are saying they'll never come back (but will need their trash talk again within a few days), but I honestly will never come back here. It's obvious what Perez thinks of us considering he's ignoring our VERY sincere pleas. He's just not the "deep down he's a good guy" we thought he was I guess!
how could u be so god damn heartless those are somebodies daughters u have hit an all time low with this one i will not be visiting this site anymore u discust me!! i hope to god the parents dont visit this site actually i hope they do and sue u for all ur worth…
You're an idiot– "separted at birth" doesn't mean they were co-joined twins. They were separated by being adopted by two different families. You'll do anything for a gross headline.
Um, conjoined twins would have to be identical. To say that there was one male and one female just doesn't make any sense to me. They're joined because they didn't seperate completely….but came from the same little egg and spermie. o.O Just sounds like a crock of shit to me.
I *had* hoped that you'd take the near-unanimous reader response to heart and remove the photo. Apparently not. I hope your obstinance backfires. Too bad, though, as I loved the fact that a latino gay man had achieved such fame and popularity. I for one will try very hard to break my filthy, pointless time-wasting habit of visiting your site. Many other things to focus on (our country is at war, for example.) I'll let Ciroc and Mr. Puffy in on my disappointment too. Hope you lose some cash this foolishness.
wow, this would be a great story IF IT WERE TRUE. it's completely made up and i'd be surprised if it's not on snopes by now.
as for the picture, i don't know, it didn't faze me. i was really quite surprised so many people were offended by the picture more than bad journalism.
check your facts you fat fuck!!!
