Garcelle Beauvais Shares an Update on Her Twin Sons, and It May Make You Tear Up
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom paid tribute to her boys as they reached a major milestone.
Garcelle Beauvais is celebrating two milestones in one day. Her twin sons, Jax and Jaid, are officially 16 years old. And in their honor, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom posted a tribute that's so sweet, you may need a tissue when you read it.
In an October 18 Instagram post, the mother of three shared a carousel of photos that began with an image of her holding her newborn twins. Wrapped in their newborn blankets and wearing wee striped caps, the boys were nearly too cute to handle — and they kept on looking adorable in the photos to come. Each ensuing image showed Jax and Jaid growing up over the years, and the last one featured the two young men looking dashing at a red-carpet event.
In the caption of her birthday post, Garcelle wrote: "Sixteen years ago today I got double the blessing! I love you boys to the moon and back! I’m so proud to be your mom! Happy birthday [Jax] & Jaid."
What else are Garcelle Beauvais' sons, Jax and Jaid, up to?
The proud mama doesn't just pay tribute to her boys on their shared birthday. In the past few weeks, she's also kept her followers up to date on their latest achievements as high-school students.
On October 1, the RHOBH cast member shared a photo of Jaid as he headed off to homecoming. Looking quite dapper, the teen happily posed for photos with his date. Garcelle's caption shared a bit of the backstory.
"Jaid had knee surgery on Tuesday but that didn’t stop him from going to [homecoming] dance," the mother of three and grandma of one wrote.
The latest on Garcelle Beauvais' eldest son, Oliver Saunders Jr.
Garcelle also has an older son, Oliver, who was born in 1991. (He is now 32.) “I had my first son, Oliver, when I was very young,” Garcelle wrote in a 2020 blog for PEOPLE. “I was modeling in New York when I met his dad. We immediately fell in love and got married after only two months. Crazy, right?! Two years later, Oliver appeared on the scene. He was the best baby, so easy and happy. I took him everywhere with me — on photo shoots, on location, and he did so well on airplanes, too.”
In February 2020, Garcelle announced that Oliver had welcomed a son of his own, Oliver Jr. On Oliver Sr.’s first Father’s Day, Garcelle took to social media to reflect on what it was like seeing her child become a parent. "Ollie, seeing you with your son makes my heart so full," she wrote in an adorable June 21, 2020, post.
