A Dallas couple, Jenny and Chris Marr, recently welcomed exceptionally rare identical quadruplet boys, expanding their family from two to six.
Jenny recalled the shocking moment they found out: “She said, ‘There is a heartbeat!’… ‘There are three babies in here.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.'” Later, another sonogram revealed, “There are four babies in here… We just went speechless.”
The couple, both only children, never expected such a large family. Chris joked, “I said, ‘I’m not coming back next week because there will be five.'” Jenny added, “We’re both an only child.”
Before giving birth, Jenny followed a 3,000-calorie diet to support the active babies. “They never stop moving! It’s really uncomfortable sometimes,” she shared.
The quadruplets—Hudson, Harrison, Henry, and Hardy—are now thriving in the NICU, and Jenny is recovering well. Their birth is incredibly rare, as the egg split four times naturally, without fertility treatments. Jenny humorously noted, “It was a two-bottle-of-wine kind of night.” There are only 72 documented cases of identical quadruplets worldwide, making their story even more remarkable.
