What is virtual twins?

Virtual twins refer to siblings who were born close together but not at the same time. They are sometimes called “twin siblings” or “Irish twins.” They typically have a close bond growing up, as they are often mistaken for twins and may face similar experiences at the same time, such as starting school or going through puberty. Virtual twins can also have similar personalities and interests due to growing up together, but they are not biological siblings. They have different dates of birth and are not conceived at the same time.
