A Brazilian woman has claimed to have given birth to twins with different fathers after having sex with two men on the same day.
The unnamed 19-year-old, from Minerios in Goias, Brazil, explained that she took a paternity test as she wanted to confirm who the father was.
She had decided to get the test done as after eight months, she had doubts about who the father was.
The 19-year-old collected DNA from the person that she thought was the father but claimed that after two tests, the results only came back positive for one of the twins.
After the second test, she had a realisation that she had sex with a different man on that same day and claimed that after he took the test, it was positive that he was the second twin’s father.

The phenomenon is scientifically named heteroparental superfecundation.
Speaking to Globo, her doctor Tulio Jorge Franco explained: ‘It is possible to happen when two eggs from the same mother are fertilised by different men. The babies share the mother’s genetic material, but they grow in different placentas.’
He emphasised that the case is extremely rare, and a ‘one in a million’ situation and he did not think he would see one like it in his life.
It has been claimed that there are only about 20 other cases in the world where this has happened.
Local media reported that the children are now 16 months but Dr Franco only spoke about the case this week.
And now, one of the fathers looks after both children, giving their mother support.
