Once dubbed the “most beautiful twins in the world,” Ava and Leah Clements have become a true internet sensation, capturing the hearts of millions with their striking looks and infectious charm. With over 1.8 million followers on Instagram, the twin sisters have carved out a unique space in the world of child modeling and social media stardom—all with the guidance and support of their mother, Jaqi Clements.
It all began when Jaqi launched their Instagram account at a young age, mostly as a fun way to share photos with family and friends. But things took off much faster than she expected, especially after a major feature in the Daily Mail thrust the girls into the international spotlight. The attention was immediate and overwhelming, but Jaqi was careful to keep her daughters’ feet firmly on the ground.
“This past year has been really fun and exciting,” Jaqi shared in an interview, reflecting on the whirlwind of opportunities that followed. From traveling to photoshoots with major fashion brands to participating in fan meetups and social media collaborations, Ava and Leah’s lives have certainly been eventful. Still, Jaqi is intentional about creating balance. “Modeling is just one part of who they are,” she emphasizes. “School, friendships, and being kids—that’s just as important.”
Ava and Leah officially began modeling at age seven, a decision Jaqi made after feeling the timing was just right. She even saw the date they started—July 7th, 2017 (7/7/17)—as a lucky sign, reinforcing her belief that everything was aligning as it should. Though the family lives two hours outside of Los Angeles, where most of the girls' modeling gigs take place, Jaqi turns those long days into mini adventures. Whether it’s a surprise ice cream stop or a detour to the beach after a shoot, she’s found creative ways to turn work into quality time.
To make sure their education doesn’t take a back seat, modeling jobs are carefully scheduled outside of school hours, and a professional tutor is always on set for longer or more demanding projects. “Their education is non-negotiable,” Jaqi says. “We work closely with their school to make sure they’re on track, and that learning is never sacrificed for a photo opportunity.”
As the girls continue to grow—not only in popularity but as individuals—Jaqi remains focused on protecting their childhood and encouraging their personal interests. Ava has taken an interest in acting, while Leah enjoys dance. Both love spending time with friends, being outdoors, and just being regular kids when the cameras aren’t rolling.
Their journey so far has been a blend of glamour, hard work, and everyday moments. And while the world may see them as social media stars or mini fashion icons, Jaqi sees them first and foremost as her daughters—bright, kind, and full of potential beyond the lens.
With their grounded upbringing, strong family support, and a healthy mix of play and purpose, Ava and Leah’s story continues to unfold—not just as “the most beautiful twins in the world,” but as two young girls navigating fame with heart, humility, and a whole lot of joy.
