Many of you might recall “The Most Beautiful Twins in the World,” also known as Ava Marie and Leah Rose Clements. Let’s take a quick journey down memory lane to revisit their rise to fame and catch up on where they are today. Born on July 7, 2010, the twins arrived about a month early, but thankfully, everything went smoothly. According to their mother, their early arrival perfectly captured their personalities—bold, unexpected, and ready to conquer the world.
Receiving Compliments Everywhere They Went
From a very young age, the girls were constantly showered with praise for their striking looks. Their mom, Jaqi, shared that strangers frequently noticed the twins’ beauty, and a glance at their baby photos makes it easy to see why.
Questions About a Modeling Career
Given the girls’ natural beauty, people often suggested that they pursue modeling. After hearing this suggestion repeatedly, Jaqi decided to give it a shot. Although the journey was challenging at first, the family persevered together.
A Challenging Start
When the twins were born, Jaqi and her husband already had a baby boy. Managing three young children simultaneously was tough, even for the most capable parents. By the time the girls were six months old, they had already signed with an agency. However, Jaqi soon felt overwhelmed and decided to step back after just three months, opting to give the girls a more typical childhood—a decision she and her husband never regretted.
Natural Performers
Leah Rose and Ava Marie were full of spunk, sass, and plenty of personality. Even without a professional career, they still managed to capture attention. Locally, they remained in the spotlight, frequently putting on shows for friends and family. Recognizing their flair for performing, Jaqi knew they were destined for modeling. However, she decided to wait until the girls were old enough to make that decision for themselves.
A Sign Appeared
Seven turned out to be the perfect age. Jaqi, a firm believer in signs, noted that her lucky number was seven. The twins were born on July 7th, making this all the more significant. When they turned seven years old on July 7, 2017, Jaqi couldn’t ignore the coincidence. She asked the girls if they wanted to model, even though they were already busy with activities like swimming and dance.
Their Reaction
Some children shy away from the spotlight, preferring to celebrate their birthdays with just cake and presents. But not Leah and Ava. They were thrilled when their mom suggested modeling, and Jaqi wasn’t surprised to see them jumping with joy at the opportunity.
A New Start in Modeling
With everyone on board, the girls had professional photos taken. Jaqi’s friend had recently opened a boutique, and the girls were ready to model. Jaqi also took on the roles of hairdresser, stylist, makeup artist, and photographer, using her own Nikon camera. Practice makes perfect, but there were some hiccups at first—like Leah spacing out or accidentally bumping into her sister, which sometimes led to playful squabbles.
Going Professional
When Jaqi started reaching out to contacts, she was worried about her daughters facing rejection after a six-year break from the industry. To her relief, all her contacts were eager to meet the girls.
Signing with Two Agencies
Leah and Ava eventually signed with two agencies, but this dual representation turned out to be complicated. Instead of doubling their opportunities, it led to conflicts, such as both agencies scheduling the same audition, causing confusion.
Instagram Fame and Brand Partnerships
While becoming working models was a significant step for the twins, it was their Instagram account, @clementstwins, that truly launched their careers. Initially intended as a portfolio, the account quickly gained thousands of followers. Jaqi, understandably protective of her daughters, has helped them use their influence to form strategic brand partnerships and raise awareness for important causes. For example, when their baby cousin was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, they partnered with Nail and Bone to raise awareness through their Instagram account.
