Leah Rose and Ava Marie Clements, the California-born twins who became international sensations after their breathtaking beauty caught the attention of the world, are now 14 years old and continuing their impressive journey as top child models.
In 2017, their mother, Jaqi Clements, created an Instagram account for her twin daughters to share their lives with friends and family. However, what started as a simple social media page quickly exploded in popularity as people were mesmerized by the girls’ angelic looks.
The twins, often referred to as the “most beautiful twins in the world,” became the face of some of the biggest brands, including Nike, Disney, and Target, propelling them into the spotlight. Today, their Instagram account has nearly 3 million followers, a testament to their status as global child models.

From Instagram to Modeling Success
Jaqi never anticipated how quickly their Instagram would grow, and in a blog post, she shared her surprise at the success: “If you would have asked me 6 months ago if 300,000 followers was a lot… I wouldn’t have had a clue.” But with the twins’ increasing popularity, modeling agencies and brands reached out, offering them opportunities that would redefine their lives.
Despite the glamour, the family faced significant criticism for allowing Leah and Ava to pursue modeling at such a young age. Jaqi defended their decision, explaining that modeling was the twins’ dream, not something they were forced into. She made it clear that the parents weren’t exploiting their daughters for financial gain, but rather making sacrifices to support their passion. “If the day ever comes that they want to move on to something else, I will 100% support their decision to do that,” Jaqi wrote.
A Lifeline for Their Father
In October 2019, the Clements family faced a challenging time when Kevin, their father, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. At first, Kevin thought he was simply battling a cold, but the diagnosis changed their lives.
Determined to help, Leah and Ava used their massive social media following to rally support for their father’s bone marrow transplant. Thousands of people responded, offering to get tested to find a match. While Kevin ultimately found a match in his brother Chris, the public support was overwhelming, and many followers were added to a national bone marrow registry to help other cancer patients.
