Twin Obsession: Two Sisters, One Man, and a Plan to Be Identical in Every Way
Anna and Lucy DeCinque are Australian identical twins who insist on living in perfect symmetry. They say they want to be the most identical twins in the world — not only in their faces but in their bodies and daily lives. They have spent years and a fortune on plastic surgery to erase differences. For more than a decade they have shared one man, Ben, but cannot marry him because Australia bans polygamy. They also dream of becoming mothers, planning to conceive and give birth at the same time.

Who Are Anna and Lucy DeCinque?
The twins rose to notoriety in 2014 when they were 28, already famous in Australia for their vow to be the world's most identical twins. They vowed to mirror every aspect of life — clothing, jewelry, speech, movements. They recount speaking in unison: one starts a sentence, the other finishes. They eat the same foods, count calories, and even track portions so each plate is identical. They even worked the same job, with the boss paying salary to only one sister.
The Price of Perfection
Their pursuit of sameness came with a price: around AUD 250,000 spent on cosmetic work. They have said implants increased breast size from A to D; other changes—lip fillers, brow tattooing, skin peels—are described as cosmetic procedures. In later interviews, they claimed that most changes came from non-surgical cosmetic work. A photo from their 'past life' shows the dramatic before-and-after transformation.
A Shared Life, a Shared Lover
In 2014 they spoke about their shared fiancé, Ben, who is a year older than them and also has a twin brother who knows the sisters but does not share their romance. They said they had lived together with Ben for two years. They described daily intimacy: they shower together, go to the bathroom together, and sleep in a bed large enough for two. Ben says he loves them both; whatever he does with one sister, he repeats with the other. Their story drew attention on a reality show 'Extreme Sisters' in Australia; in 2021 Ben presented identical engagement rings and proposed to both, but marriage remains illegal.
Paths to Motherhood in a World of Synchrony
Now 38, the twins still dream of becoming mothers and plan to use IVF to conceive and give birth on the same day and hour. The plan would require careful coordination, but nature may resist. Public reaction has ranged from fascination to mockery, with many critics calling it a bid for fame at any cost. Their mother, now in her seventies, remains supportive and not surprised by her daughters' choices. They continue to post shared photos and live their synchronized life, drawing attention across Australia, China, and Japan.
