The Bachelor star Sarah Herron gave birth to twins a year after tragically losing her IVF miracle baby.
She and her husband Dylan Brown welcomed their twin daughters two months early, marking this milestone over a year after their son Oliver passed away shortly after being born extremely premature.
The 37-year-old reality star, who competed on Season 17 of The Bachelor in 2013 and the first season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2014, took to her Instagram on Saturday to announce the happy news.
‘World, meet Everette Rae & Colette Rose (Evy & Coco) born July 1st 2024,’ Sarah wrote alongside videos of herself and her partner embracing their newborns in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.
‘Fraternal twin sisters, our little 32-weekers took us all by surprise a whopping 7.5 weeks early.’

She continued: ‘We’re all adjusting to life in the NICU as we have a long road ahead of us—undeniably filled with twists and turns—but the girls are fighters and getting stronger every day—we all are.
‘We’re so grateful for our care team and any continued prayers for our tiny warriors. Today’s plan: Sleep, breathe and grow!’
Sarah concluded, ‘Welcome to the world little ones! My heart is completely outside of my body for these two miracles.’
In January, the Colorado advertising executive shared news of her pregnancy, just days before the first anniversary of Oliver’s passing.
Tragically, Oliver was born prematurely at 24 weeks and passed away shortly after birth.
At the time, Sarah took tot her Instagram Stories to let her fans know she was expecting twins.
‘Appointment today went well, the babies are growing on track! Next appointment in 3 weeks. The babies look so round and chubs! Little Rolly pollies!’ she wrote.
She also joked, ‘F**k around with IVF long enough and one day you might definitely get multiples,’ in another snap that showed both embryos.

Herron went on to add that for a brief moment, she actually thought she was having triplets, thanks to a bizarre phenomenon.
Herron went on to add that for a brief moment, she actually thought she was having triplets, thanks to a bizarre phenomenon.
‘What’s really crazy is, and I haven’t talked about this yet, is that when I went in for 1st ultrasound, there were actually 3 gestational sacs,’ she said.
She explained that meant, ‘Baby A tried to split and become identical twins, but a yolk and fetal pole never developed.
‘SOOO… this means for about 15 seconds I had a heart attack there was going to be triplets,’ she said.
The ultrasound image clearly showed the two embryos – Baby A and Baby B – but there was an ’empty sac’ that is called a ‘blighted ovum’ or a ‘vanishing twin/triplet.’
She then shared a snap of her and husband Brown, who tied the knot in August after getting engaged in May 2021.
‘I feel like I have been really lacking on the content front lately. I’m just so exhausted that any minute I try to sit down, I have to take a nap,’ she explained.
‘Thank you for still showing up for my updates, even if they are sparse. Hopefully by the 2nd trimester, I’ll have the energy to be creative again,’ she said.
She also inadvertantly revealed that the twins are girls in another Instagram story post, where she spoke about her grief over losing Oliver.

‘Just BAWLED my eyes out in therapy. My grief for Oliver is heavy right now, as his heavenly birthday 12 days away,’ she said.
‘It hurts so bad, and simultaneously I know he’s sending me these little girls to comfort me right now,’ she said, revealing the twins are both girls.
When someone responded to her story with the all-caps text ‘GIRLS!!’ and two red heart emojis, Herron responded, ‘Oops. Cat’s outta the bag. But yes, we know the sex of all our embyros.’
Herron and Brown welcomed their son Oliver at just 24 weeks on January 28, but they revealed he passed away just hours after birth.
