There’s nothing like a little friendly competition between sisters, even when it comes to having babies. Nikki and Brie Bella — who are notorious for their banter about which twin (both 36) came into the world first — welcomed baby boys just one day apart. And, of course, Nikki took advantage of the moment when she gave birth on July 31 and Brie welcomed her son on August 1.
And how about that tag team!! I can’t believe Brie & I had boys less than 24 hours apart! Honestly only us! lol And that I beat her. As you can imagine everyone said it was my baby & mines competitive side that kicked in! I can’t wait for our Bellas Boys to grow up together!💙💙N
