It’s possible, but statistically very unlikely. She’s in a tough spot; she shouldn’t have to disclose medical information publicly. It probably does feel like a miracle, even if she used donor eggs.

It's not a total impossibility to conceive & deliver, naturally, at that age. It's not like she's 70. But yeah total probability in this case that it took a lot of science to accomplish. Wish them well.

This. It's no fluke of nature.

+1 Why would this drive you crazy, OP?

This. If you're an old mother, the odds of twins are much higher.

I thought odds of natural twins go up with maternal age

good for her. agree it's DE.

I’d pretty much guarantee you she used donor eggs. I’d bet big money on that.

Yeah but she’s a celeb with amazing medical care.

She's been married for four years. Maybe she's been trying since she was 44?

I just saw Hilary Swank is expecting twins at age 48. Her comments about like “twins run in my family” and “it is such a miracle” make it sound like it was natural. I know this is totally petty, but it drives me crazy when celebrities pretend like they just naturally conceived twins at a very advanced maternal age.
