Celebrity chef Donatella Arpaia announced she was cooking up something special with her husband Allan Stewart in May of 2018; twins! She'd already given birth in her forties - or, to be precise, on her 40th birthday, September 15th, 2011, which was when her son Alessandro arrived into this world.
The couple always wanted more children and struggled for years trying various methods of fertility treatment until something just clicked at the start of the year, and everything fell into place. Arpaia welcomed her 'miracle babies' in November 2018; a son named Noah and a daughter named Emma Mariella. Alessandro is actually credited with making the whole thing happen; he had a dream that he had twin siblings, and telling his parents about the dream is what inspired them to give IVF another try. Alessandro's dream went as far as naming the children; names which at first didn't appeal to Arpaia, but the moment they were born she confesses not being able to imagine calling them anything else.
