Now the twin sisters have almost 3 million followers on Instagram and Facebook, along with high-profile partnerships with brands like Disney, Nike, and Target, cementing their status as top child models.
Criticism
The Clements family faced significant criticism from people who questioned the parents’ decision to allow their twin daughters to pursue modeling at such a young age.
Jaqi firmly defended her choice. She explained that modeling was the twins’ dream, not something imposed on them. She emphasized that she and her husband, Kevin, were not profiting off their daughters but were instead making personal financial sacrifices to support the girls in following their passion.
“I didn’t decide that my girls were going to start modeling, they did. And if the day ever comes that they want to move on to something else, I will 100% support their decision to do that.”, Jaqi writes.
Lifeline
In October 2019, the Clements twins’ Instagram account, which had already gained millions of followers because of their modeling success, became a lifeline for their father.
The Clements family’s lives took an unexpected turn when Kevin, the father of three and head swim coach at a local high school, began feeling what he thought was a mild cold.
Kevin, then 39, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.
