Identical triplets who have never spent more than two days apart in nearly three decades have opened up about their incredible bond, saying they are a ‘package deal.’
Benjamin, Nicholas, and Zachary Osborne, 27, from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, have been living together since they were born. They have attended the same colleges, graduated with the same degrees, and interned for the same politician.
‘We tend to use the pronoun “we” instead of “I” because we’re always together and we have the same interests and we always do the same thing,’ Nicholas told Today. Even when I’m by myself, I find that I still say “we.”‘

They had separate rooms when they were children, but they often ended up in the same bedroom. They all love movie theater popcorn, Harry Potter books, and photographing architecture.

Benjamin said they don’t like to think of the possibility of being separated because it causes them ‘too much worry and stress.’
‘We get very anxious when we think about it,’ he explained, ‘so we just focus on the present.’
The triplets graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2018, with multiple degrees, including a bachelor’s in political science.
They then headed to Washington, D.C. together to earn master’s degrees from Georgetown University.
Benjamin, Nicholas, and Zachary are now in their second year at Georgetown Law, and, naturally, they’re in all of the same classes.

The aspiring lawyers even scored the same internships with North Carolina State Senator Jim Burgin.
On June 27, they flew across the pond to England to study administrative law at the University of Oxford. In their spare time, they go for long walks together and have logged 100 miles since their arrival.
The daily workouts help the brothers stay on track with their weight loss. They have shed a combined total of 470 over the past ten years. They each used to weigh around 350 pounds, but now they’re roughly 160 pounds.
Benjamin, Nicholas, and Zachary like to have a protein bar or shake for breakfast and eat one large meal a day while avoiding added sugar.

The weight loss has led them to trade their baggy cargo shorts for slim-fit pants and button-down shirts.
As identical triplets, they attract plenty of attention, but they don’t mind being approached by strangers who like to take pictures and ask them questions.
They shared that identical triplets run in the family — their great-grandfather was one — and they do have triplet telepathy.
The brothers insisted that they rarely argue, and when they do, it’s over ‘silly things’ and ‘always resolved within minutes.’
‘We’re best friends,’ Benjamin said. ‘This is going to sound embarrassing, but when I’m by myself, it’s like walking around on one foot and without one arm. I’ve lost a part of myself.’
