The journey of life is so unpredictable and full of surprises. That’s what makes it so charming! Imagine this crazy coincidence: you meet the love of your life and you realize that he shares your date of birth. Incredible, right? Celebrating a double anniversary on the same day is magical. But, by giving birth to their little girl, this couple really fell from a great height. You might wonder if chance doesn’t exist… Guess what date this baby was born?
A date to set in stone
December 18th… that’s a very special date for Cassidy and Dylan Scott. Amused by the coincidence of being born on the same day, they often proclaim to anyone who will listen that they were destined to meet, like soul mates who had finally found each other. But destiny had another incredible surprise in store for them… They could never have imagined it, but their little girl, Lennon, decided to come into the world on that same date. What was the chance of this happening?
“One in 133,000!” Cassidy wrote on her Facebook account. Even today, she still can’t believe it. It must be said that this American couple did not expect their daughter to be born that day, since the birth was initially scheduled for around December 27. It must be said that the very fact that she could be born in the same month as her two parents was already incredible. But then, on the same day… it was almost unimaginable!
While Cassidy and Dylan were quietly at a restaurant celebrating their own birthday, the mother-to-be’s water broke. “I started having contractions and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this could really happen,’” Cassidy recounted, laughing nervously. “At first, I didn’t want her to be born on our anniversary, because I really wanted her to have her own date so that no one would steal the spotlight (…). But the closer I got to the fateful date, the more Dylan joked that it might happen and that we had to prepare for it,” she confided in an interview with Today. So, when her water broke at the restaurant, there was no longer any doubt. “I had to come to terms with it, I didn’t really have a choice at that point anyway…”, she says, amused.
It was fate that ultimately had the last word, since little Lennon was indeed born on December 18, 2022. Cassidy gave birth at the hospital in Huntsville, Alabama. Her baby came out of her belly at exactly 00:30, just in time to celebrate his birth with those of his parents!
The event was so surprising that the young mother decided to share this news on Facebook. Amazed by this incredible coincidence, in addition to congratulating the couple and overwhelming Cassidy with good wishes, some of her contacts wanted to comment by sharing their own similar experiences. “Welcome to the club! My husband, myself and our firstborn, our son, also all share the same birthday. He is 31 now. It has become a ‘family vacation’ for us over the years. Enjoy it and get used to people being surprised when you tell them! Happy birthday to you all!” enthused Jennifer. For her part, Barbara wrote: “Oh beautiful, I am in the same situation!” My husband, daughter and I all share the same birthday and, even more unusual, it’s also December 18th… Happy birthday to all three of you!” Another user, Diane, congratulated the trio: “Oh, what a joy! Congratulations on such a special birthday to all three of you!”
As for adorable little Lennon, she is in good health and doing great. “She’s very smiley. She smiles constantly (…). She’s a beautiful baby. She barely cries, but she sleeps a lot. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better baby, our daughter is perfect,” says her mother, very moved. Of course, she’s still too young to understand it, but it won’t take her long to realize that her birthday falls on the exact same day as both of her parents. It’s true that some coincidences are sometimes fun to experience and experience, but this one is particularly fascinating and so rare…
