In 2017, at just seven years old, California twins Leah Rose and Ava Marie Clements opened an Instagram account that exploded in popularity. What began as their mom Jaqi’s way to update friends and family quickly drew brands and modeling agencies, launching the girls from local shoots to global child-model status.
As their following grew into the millions, the twins landed major campaigns with companies like Nike, Disney, and Target. Alongside the attention came criticism about modeling so young, but Jaqi insisted it was the girls’ choice and that the family wasn’t profiting off them—only supporting their passion.
In 2019, their platform became a lifeline when their dad, Kevin, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Leah and Ava used their reach to encourage bone marrow testing; while Kevin ultimately matched with his brother, thousands joined the registry to help others.
Now 14, the twins continue modeling while balancing school, family, and advocacy. Their journey—from a simple Instagram page to international recognition—shows persistence, poise, and purpose beyond looks, and many are watching to see what they do next.
