Cape Town - Congratulations are in order. Twins Brie and Nikki Bella are both pregnant!
Speaking to People, the retired professional wrestlers revealed they’re due only two weeks apart.
"Wait, twins being pregnant at the same time?" Brie said.
"People are going to think that’s a joke. We both are shocked. People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!"
"[It was] a total surprise," Nikki added.
"It took even me a good week to come to terms with like, 'Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.' I’m not ready for it."
Brie, who has a daughter, Birdie Jo (2), with her husband, pro wrestler Daniel Bryan (38), said she was surprised to learn about her pregnancy so quickly after she decided she was only "meant to have one child".
Nikki said she and her fiancé, Dancing with the Stars coach Artem Chigvintsev, weren’t trying but she had a sneaky suspicion she might be expecting, CNN reports.
"I was in yoga and I kept getting this feeling that you need to take a pregnancy test, but I wasn’t even late yet," said Nikki, who recently got engaged to her beau in France.
"And so I’m like, 'Why do I keep having this feeling? Am I getting twin vibes from her [Brie] because she just told me she’s pregnant?'"
Nikki wanted to know for sure before she told Artem.
"I just want to do this by myself. When I came back in and it said pregnant I had to sit down for a second.
Brie shared the news with fans on Instagram, captioning the image, "We are shocked like all of you!!!"
"Never in a million years though did I think @thenikkibella and I would be having pregnant bellies together!!!"
The sisters began their career in wrestling as a tag team with the WWE and starred in a reality series that follows the lives of female wrestlers called Total Divas.
In 2016 they got their own spinoff show, Total Bellas.
