These twins spent a day apart. A baby monitor captured how much they missed each other

A baby monitor captured a profoundly beautiful moment between twins.

In the video, 18-month-old sisters Ever and Shiloh, who spent the day apart for the first time in their lives, stand in their cribs holding hands, hugging and giggling in their nursery. The bond between them is palpable: At one point, Ever — she’s the older by 15 minutes — plants a tender kiss on Shiloh’s forehead, followed by a loving pat on the back.

The clip, which was filmed in 2022, recently racked up 30 million views after Ever and Shiloh’s mom, Lauren Berty, shared it on Instagram.

“They were only separated for a few hours,” Berty, host of “That Twin Mama Podcast,” tells TODAY.com in an interview.

At the time, the family was doing a nanny share in their Arlington, Virginia, neighborhood and Berty decided to keep Shiloh home by herself because she was feeling sick.

“At the end of the day, when they saw each other, they were excited,” Berty says. The girls were also exhausted — or so Berty thought.

“Suddenly my husband I heard laughing on the baby monitor,” Berty recalls. “I look at the screen and there they are, cracking each other up and just having the time of their lives.”

“They very much have their own twin language,” she adds.

Nearly 13,000 people have commented on Berty’s reel.

“My b/g twins are 5 and every time they’re separated (one misses a day of school, or goes to grandma’s for the day, etc) their reunion is like this! I hope it’s like this always!!” one person wrote.

Added another, “My twin baby girls are 27 now. And this is exactly how they used to behave. And they haven’t changed.”

Shiloh and Ever are now 3, and closer than ever. When Shiloh misses a day of preschool, Ever doesn’t know what to do with herself, according to Berty, who has had discussions with their teachers.

“They’re just lost without the other one,” Berty says. “They very much feel the other’s absence in a way that I think that regular siblings don’t.”
