PARENTS of two, Kimberly and Ismael, have gone viral online - and at first glance, you might think their height difference (Kimberly stands at 5' 7", towering over Ismael at 4' 11") is the reason. But Ismael is actually the twin brother of Kimberly's ex-husband, meaning she has now been married to both twins. Not only that, but she has also had a child with each brother, making her two sons - Landon (19) and Skyler (14) - "brothers and cousins at the same time". Kimberly became pregnant with Landon when she was just 18 years old, but found her marriage with Ismael's twin brother "really hard". As their relationship began to break down, Ismael's presence and support led to feelings developing - as Kimberly told Truly: "I confided in him a few things that were happening. There was a very subtle, intimate moment. I started crying because I knew that something woke up in me and it was definitely awake in him". Neither Kimberly nor Ismael had seen it coming, as Ismael recounted: "My intention was not to take my sister-in-law (back then) from my brother". But as Kimberly's previous relationship was ending, she fell pregnant with Ismael's son, Skyler - a secret they kept from everyone until after Skyler was born. Ismael was unable to be present when Skyler arrived, as the couple maintained pretenses that Kimberly's second child belonged to Ismael's brother. After coming clean, Kimberly was "disowned" and "kicked out" - so she and Ismael moved and started over with the two boys. Ismael immediately adopted the role of father to his nephew Landon, who told Truly: "I didn't really call him father - for a couple of years I called him 'Isma'. I just didn't really understand at the time that he would become the most important person in my life". When Kimberly then married Ismael in 2016, Landon gave him the ultimate seal of approval - promising to refer to him as his dad from that point forward. Now the family are enjoying the new life they have built, away from "the drama" they left behind - but they have run into judgement online, since Kimberly started creating content during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kimberly has had people ask, "Don't you feel ashamed that you married your ex-husband's twin brother?" and, "There were no other men in the world?" Others ridicule Ismael for being shorter than his wife and children. The family fully accept that their unique dynamic will continue to attract attention, but as Kimberly's attitude demonstrates, they are unfazed by the trolling: "I'm very confident in my family and my household so those things don't affect me at all". Even her sons seem to be taking a leaf out of her defiant playbook, with Landon simply concluding, "100% we are weird! You think we're a normal family. Oh no, we are not!"

00:00I married my ex-husband's twin brother.
00:03People think I'm her son, but I'm her short king baby daddy.
00:07Yee-haw!
00:08Oh my God.
00:09WTF, he's your dad?
00:12Oh my God.
00:13Our sons are brothers and cousins at the same time.
00:16One of my sons is also my nephew.
00:19You think we're a normal family?
00:21Oh no, we are not.
00:22People, they try to shame me.
00:25Don't you feel ashamed that you married
00:26your ex-husband's brother?
00:27There were no other men in the world?
00:31Did either of you feel any guilt?
00:34Good morning, chiquito.
00:36Hey mama.
00:37I'm Kimberly.
00:38I'm Ishmael.
00:39I'm 5'7".
00:41I'm 4'11".
00:43I used to be married to his brother.
00:46Now she's my wife.
00:47I call him my chiquito.
00:50Like, my little guy, my little one.
00:53He is now the father of my two sons.
00:55Landon, he's 19.
00:56And Skylar is 14.
00:58The biological father of Skylar is Ismael.
01:01And the biological father of Landon is my ex-husband,
01:04which is his twin brother.
01:07What did you think of Kimberly when she was married to your brother?
01:10I was thinking, like, he was lucky to have her.
01:14For me, it was nothing romantic.
01:16I always felt really comfortable around him.
01:19He was a really good friend.
01:21My previous relationship was, for me, really hard.
01:26I was 18 years old when I married Ismael's twin brother.
01:30I was so young in life.
01:31I did not have life figured out.
01:33I was 18 when I became pregnant with Landon.
01:37I really wasn't taught about pregnancy or having children because of the religion we were in.
01:43I was very scared.
01:55So tell me a little bit about, like, when things got romantic.
01:59How did that happen?
02:00So he came to Mississippi for an event that we had.
02:05And I confided in him a few things that were happening.
02:09He could see that things were very tense in the house.
02:13He told me, he said, well, you can call me and text me whenever you need.
02:17And I can help you and Landon, because Landon was, like, maybe one.
02:21It was nothing romantic at all.
02:24Was never my intention ever.
02:25But, I mean, look at him, he's...
02:30Look at him.
02:33And I remember he was leaving and we were saying goodbye.
02:37And it was a very subtle, intimate moment.
02:40And I started crying because I knew that something woke up in me.
02:47And it was definitely awake in him.
02:49Did either of you feel any, like, guilt?
02:53I was thought that that was wrong.
02:54And it's wrong in every way, you know?
02:56My mind was, like, going both directions.
03:01Because, you know, like, what do I do?
03:04But at that point, my relationship with his brother was over.
03:08But I was still living with my ex-husband.
03:12I knew that he was really close with his family.
03:14So I felt guilty on that part.
03:17But my guilt wasn't enough for me to push him aside.
03:22What were the emotions that you guys had
03:25when you found you were expecting a child?
03:28It was very scary.
03:30I was still married to his brother.
03:35So when Sky was born, Ismael was not there initially.
03:39Because him and I were the only ones who knew that Skyler was his child.
03:43That was kind of, like, heartbreaking for me.
03:46Because my first child, you know, I want to see him.
03:50But I had to do it.
03:52Yeah.
03:53So about two months after he was born, I let it all out.
03:59And everybody knew.
04:01And then the drama started.
04:03When I did tell people, I was disowned.
04:07They basically kicked me out.
04:09So I moved to Minnesota when Sky was four months old.
04:13And that's when we all started living together as a family, just us four.
04:18Sky, can you get the syrup?
04:21Our syrup?
04:22For me, it was freeing.
04:23And I was like, yeah.
04:24I was super excited.
04:26Like, I can be myself.
04:27You want bacon?
04:28But for him, it was a little challenging.
04:31Because he was so used to being alone.
04:34Was I ready to be a father of two?
04:38Probably not.
04:39But I know it was all about, like, making a decision and just go for it.
04:47You know?
04:47And now you don't want to be alone ever.
04:51Do you remember when your parents told you about how they got together?
04:56Yeah, I couldn't really understand because I was still young.
05:00Go outside.
05:01Say please.
05:02Please.
05:03It was very interesting when I got more older, hearing more stories about it.
05:08My dad, like, their siblings.
05:11Landon, can you tell me a little about, like, your early, early memories of Ismail?
05:15Oh, back then, let me think.
05:19I didn't really call him father.
05:21My father, I usually, for a couple of years, I called him Yzma.
05:25I just didn't understand the time that he would be the most important person in my life.
05:30Because I was still young.
05:32When we got married in 2016, he went up to Ismail, actually.
05:36And he gave him a big hug.
05:37And he's like, you're not my uncle anymore.
05:39You're my dad.
05:41So since the day that we were married, he's always called him father.
05:45Was it ever confusing that Ismail was raising you like he's your dad?
05:50Not at all.
05:51I love him.
05:53I love him with all my hair.
05:54I would do anything for him.
05:56Except take the trash out.
05:58Okay, listen here.
05:58The trash is different.
06:01I ain't doing the dishes.
06:03How would you describe your parenting styles?
06:05I want my children to be happy and express themselves the way that they want to express themselves,
06:13but also do it in a respectful way.
06:16My art teacher said you can never go out the line.
06:18Oh, in kindergarten?
06:19Whew.
06:21Yee-haw!
06:22Oh my God.
06:23I think my parenting style is the same.
06:27Be respectful, you know, to everyone.
06:31Okay.
06:32Put it down a little bit more.
06:35Yep.
06:35I keep telling them like, okay, we started from this position.
06:40We're probably here and you guys are the future.
06:44Go all the way there and then just cut it here.
06:47You have it on your hands, so you have the opportunity to go as high as you can.
06:58Okay, you and me is going to make a video real quick.
07:01I started posting on social media during COVID because we were bored.
07:06I was just trying to be funny and entertain the kids.
07:11We didn't know this, but she was going to take the blame for having three kids.
07:17Right, mom?
07:18I was.
07:20Because I look like a kid, you know?
07:23No, no, wait.
07:25Okay, now get down.
07:26Now get down.
07:27Oh.
07:28People think I'm her son, but I'm her short-key baby daddy.
07:34You're not going to be able to pick me up.
07:36Yes, I will.
07:37Okay.
07:37Okay, lift your head.
07:38You, lift your...
07:40No, I see my head.
07:42These days, I'm going to have to bring it to the hospital.
07:44What's the response been like online?
07:46We do get a lot of hate.
07:47You feel better now?
07:49Yeah.
07:50Okay, kiss.
07:50People commenting on our race together and a lot of people commenting about our height difference.
07:56It does not affect us at all.
07:58Like, I know he's 4'11".
07:59I sleep with him every day.
08:01So, I'm going to read a little bit of the comments that I get on my social media.
08:07Probably her son.
08:09Yeah, like, you're probably my son, right?
08:12Why is he four apples tall?
08:15Because I ate the fifth one.
08:17These people, they try to shame me.
08:19Just blatantly out says that, how dare you, or don't you feel ashamed that you married your ex-husband's brother?
08:24You don't have to watch.
08:26WTF?
08:28He's your dad?
08:30There were no other men in the world?
08:33What?
08:35Comments are comments.
08:36People are entitled to their opinions.
08:38No one would ever say that to me, to my face.
08:40I'm very confident in my relationship and I'm confident in my family and my household.
08:46So, those things, they don't affect me at all.
08:49What's your reaction when someone says your family's weird?
08:52I would say 100% we're weird.
08:54You think we're a normal family?
08:56Oh no, we are not.
08:58Do you have any regrets looking back?
09:01No, not one.
09:02No regrets.
09:03Zero.
09:03Would do it again.
09:05Okay, you go first, then Landon.
09:07Then I'll go.
09:07So, old.
09:09Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:12Oh, you're older.
09:13We have moved on with our life.
09:16My brother has lived on with his life.
09:19He's remarried.
09:20We all have our separate lives and everyone is fine.
09:23Look at all those wrinkles.
09:24No one has been harmed, but we're more happy.
09:29Follow me.
09:30Yes, sir.
09:31What are your hopes for your family's future?
09:33What I hope for my kids, it's be what they are.
09:39I want them to always feel that this is a safe environment for them.
09:43And what do I want for him?
09:45Unfortunately, you are stuck with me and you don't get a choice.
09:48You see the wings on my back?
09:51Your wings.
09:53Happiness.
10:09révind you, the scam.
10:09So that's not appropriate.
10:09I hope you write down too many of them about life.

10:09You
