TikTok star Tineke “Tini” Younger heartbrokenly announced the death of one of her twin baby daughters after suffering a ‘placenta abruption.’
The 24-year-old media personality took to Instagram and Facebook on Wednesday to share the devastating loss of her ‘sweet girl’ in an emotional post.
The chef – who has been married to Antoine Wright Jr. since November 2024 – announced her pregnancy earlier this year in June.
‘This isn’t the post I ever thought I would share once the twins came, unfortunately earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A),’ Younger began.
‘We made it to almost 36 weeks we were so close to being done and getting the girls to term but I had a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl.’
A placenta abruption happens ‘when the placenta partly or completely separates from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery,’ per Mayo Clinic.

‘We made it to almost 36 weeks we were so close to being done and getting the girls to term but I had a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl,’ she wrote
When the serious complication occurs, it can ‘decrease or block the baby’s supply of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother.’
Younger then shared that her other baby girl is ‘doing really good and breathing on her own.
‘They both are so beautiful and Arya will always be celebrated, her sister will know she is a twin and has a beautiful twin sister.’
The TikTok personality informed her followers that she ‘will be taking a break’ from social media. ‘Not sure for how long but I promise I will be back. I love you guys❤️.’
She also shared a series of black and white photos – with one image showing Younger and her husband holding Arya.
Earlier this year in June, Younger announced her pregnancy in a video captioned, ‘Putting a bun(s) in the oven.’
She then made buns from scratch with her husband joining in to help with her saying, ‘We need Antoine’s help for this. It’s a two-person job.’
The couple further confirmed the news in another post which showed Younger and her husband holding tiny sweatshirts with ‘Sous Chef’ printed on the front.

As the pair sat on top of a counter, a sign was placed in the middle which also read: ‘2 sous chefs on the way 2025.’
Younger and Antoine held big smiles on their faces in the photo as they glanced over at each other.

Last month in October, Younger had told People that her twin girls are ‘perfect’ while also talking about her plans for Thanksgiving.
