The ‘world’s most identical twins’ share a bed with their joint boyfriend… and take it in turns to SLEEP with him

LUCY and Anna DeCinque, both 31, are getting ready for bed.

After showering together and putting on matching blue and grey pyjamas, the pair climb into the super-king-size bed they share with their boyfriend Ben Byrne, 33, before switching off the lights and taking it in turns to have sex with him.

Welcome to the weird, and completely inseparable, world of Australia’s infamous plastic fantastic twins.

Since becoming local celebrities in their hometown of Perth, Western Australia, four years ago after being interviewed on local TV about their intertwined lives, the pair are now a global phenomenon. 

“We never imagined an interview would lead to all this, but we’re loving being celebrities,” admits Anna.

“People stop us for autographs and no one has been negative to our faces. We’ve had some trolling online, where people have said we’re ‘fake’ and called us ‘blow-up Barbie dolls’, but we block them.”

The pair are surprisingly likeable due to their teen-like excitement about life, and it’s easy to see why they’ve captured public curiosity.

Not only do they dress in matching outfits, they’ve also had the same surgery to achieve their look, eat exactly the same number of calories as each other every day and exercise for the same length of time.

On top of that, they go to the toilet at the same time, share a partner and refuse to be more than a few feet from one another.

What’s not to be intrigued by?

“We may as well be conjoined,” admits Lucy, the eldest by one minute.

“We have two bodies, but feel we’re the same person and live side by side.”

They haven’t always been this way, though. Until 2009, they were pretty normal, if very close, twin sisters.

“Mum dressed us identically when we were little, but as we got older we chose to wear the same clothes, just in different colours. As we grew up, we dated different guys and sometimes squabbled – as sisters do,” says Lucy.

“But we’ve always known what the other was thinking and feeling. I hurt my back once and she had to have the same painkillers because she felt my pain.” 

When their dad Luigi died from cancer in 2009 aged just 58, the twins became closer than ever. 

“Losing him was traumatic,” says Lucy.

“Because he’d been the breadwinner – our mum Jeanette, now 72, had always looked after us and our sister Vanja, 42 – we had little money. We also had to move out of our family home.

“It was a very dark time. We never had a specific conversation about becoming more identical, but the more we did it, the better we felt. It helped us to cope.”

So as well as dressing, doing their make-up and eating identically – down to the exact same number of crisps – that same year the twins had breast augmentation surgery.

They spent £17,000 of their savings and inheritance from their father to take their A-cup boobs to a D cup.

They also began having facial peels and lip fillers, and have now spent £140,000 on their image, using savings and money from media work.

Despite dating different guys in the past, Anna and Lucy had all but given up hope of finding love because of their refusal to be separated.

“We’d date best friends or brothers, but they wanted to do things separately, while we wanted to double date so we could be together,” says Lucy.

“Relationships just never worked out – until we found Ben.”

Ben, a mechanic, met them via a mutual friend on Facebook four years ago, shortly before they found fame.

“We messaged and chatted on the phone for six months,” remembers Anna.

“We were upfront that we came as a package, and he insisted that was fine with him. Being a non-identical twin himself, he said that he understood our bond.”

“We were still nervous, though,” interrupts Lucy.

“We knew some guys might think it was kinky to date twins and see us as a trophy, so we had to feel sure that Ben genuinely liked both of us before we agreed to meet him.”

The trio began dating in 2012 and Ben – who lived a 40-minute drive away – moved in with the girls and their mum a year later.

Some parents might baulk at their daughters being in such an unconventional relationship, particularly when it is played out in the family home.

But according to the twins, if they are happy, so is Jeanette.

Their mum and sister have never judged them and have always been understanding of their decision.

Lucy and Anna also share the same supportive friends, who know they always do everything together.
