After that heartbreak, Hillary and Chris received joyful news. They welcomed identical twin daughters, Emory JoAnn and Betsy Mack, on January 29, 2018.
Hillary shared how emotional the experience was in an interview shortly after their birth.
“I wasn’t sure how identical they were gonna be because they are genetically identical, but they have different features,” Hillary told PEOPLE shortly after the twins were born. “It was a literal prayer — ‘Lord, please let me know how to tell them apart.‘”
The couple had always hoped for three children. That dream became reality with the twins.
On their sixth birthday, Hillary shared a loving message.
“I adore you both with every beat of my heart and cell in my body. Your Daddy, too. And Big Sister…she thinks ya’ll both hung the moon. Happy 6th Birthday Emory JoAnn and Betsy Mack.”

In 2022, they learned they were expecting twins. Lucie reflected on their mindset during that time.
“One thing I know for sure is that after such a long struggle, now that we’re here with twins, we have no idea what’s going to happen, but we want to celebrate every moment because you don’t want to spend your time worrying,” Lucie told PEOPLE.
