Three unique sets of twins embark on a journey to find love. From deep emotional bonds to inseparable lifestyles, each pair is heading into the world of dating — with backup, of course.
Megan and Mikayla, twin sisters born with Albinism, have faced lifelong challenges. While Megan is in a relationship, Mikayla is stepping out of her comfort zone to go on a blind date, with her sister and mom secretly watching from across the bar to see how her date reacts to her condition.
Daniel and Derrick from Florida share an intense twin connection, doing everything together and even vetting each other's dates. As Daniel heads into a blind date, Derrick is there too — ready to judge if the guy is truly good enough for his brother.
Miami-based twins Miriam and Michelle, known as the, "Double Dose Twins" do everything together — including maintaining their identical curves and lifestyle. Michelle is going on a blind date with Michael, but he doesn’t know her twin Miriam will be tagging along, testing whether he can handle their inseparable bond. Will they find love at last?

Mikaela is going on a date! Something is going on a date
0:05
Mom, please! We are identical twins born with albinism, and the chances of that is one in two million
0:12
Our skin is super sensitive. When we were born, people accused our mother of cheating
0:17
because our skin didn't look like hers. Sometimes it can feel like we're in a zoo
0:22
and people were just coming by to stare at us. Today, I'm going on a blind date
0:27
and I'm curious to see how he reacts to my condition. I just don't go on a lot of dates
0:33
because I have anxiety about what they're gonna say about me. Hello, how you doing
0:38
Hello, hello. Albinism is the lack of pigment or melanin in your eyes, skin, or hair
0:47
Our skin is super sensitive. We try to wear as much protective clothing as we can
0:53
That's not true, but we're supposed to. Who wants to cover up
0:57
But right, right. As a 25-year-old, who doesn't want to show a little skin
1:01
Just a little bit. We are considered visually impaired. To read things or to view things like pictures or something that has a lot of detail, we have
1:11
to get close up to look at it. As far as the numbers on the stove, we have to lean and look
1:16
The first assumption that people made when Megan and Ken were born was they were of another
1:22
race, they were not his kids, you know, of course. The fact that our mother had to deal with that judgment when we were born, she had to learn like on the spot, like right then and there
1:34
You know, doctors came into the room and, you know, they explained everything to me. More education I got on it, it's like now I got like this big responsibility and I didn't know if I was going to be able to do it
1:44
I think it really helped us both out when we were growing up that we were in the same situation and dealing with the same things
1:53
If one of us was having a bad day, we tell each other, like, I know what you're going through, and I got through it, so you can get through it, too
2:00
Exactly. I don't have to explain anything to her when I do something that requires me to look at things a little closer or do things differently
2:11
Hi, Mom. How are you, honey? Hi, Mom. Our mom didn't know that we had albinism until after we were born
2:20
We didn't look like our family, so some people had questions. They thought our mother cheated on my father
2:28
Were you concerned about how they might be treated at school? I was very concerned
2:32
Well, kids can be mean. They used to call us white or we were adopted
2:38
Our parents weren't our parents. Or someone might copy how we do things like reading
2:45
We had to hold it closer sometimes because of our vision so that they would make fun of that
2:51
One of the things we started doing so I could try to encourage them is like when they would leave out in the morning
2:56
like I'm strong, I'm smart. Mom imparting into us that we are all so beautiful
3:03
and we're all so strong and we can do anything that we set our minds to
3:07
I feel like kept us afloat many days. I started posting on TikTok a few months ago, seriously
3:14
We thought this would be a good way to have fun and maybe educate people on our condition
3:21
The responses to our content, most of it, like 98% of it
3:26
has been super positive, but there's always that 2% where people leave mean comments
3:34
Oh, one of the comments asked if we had eyeballs. That was fun
3:38
I giggled so hard. That was fun. It's because of our light sensitivity
3:42
That's all. We have to squint sometimes. I promise we have eyeballs
3:46
there are people, 98% of those people just want to feel educated and just want to know a little
3:54
bit about ourselves. Our future just looks like us educating in a fun way. We have a little something
4:02
planned today, but we're going to wait a little bit till you, we're going to let it be a surprise
4:08
Yeah. I like surprises, but it sounds suspicious. Oh my God. Okay. I have absolutely no idea what I
4:15
want to wear. So let's get started. Okay. Today I'm going on a blind date and I'm curious to see
4:23
how he reacts to my condition. My condition kind of has had some hand in how I date, especially with
4:31
meeting new people. You have to tell about your albinism and to go into new places where you have
4:37
to figure out and find where everything is. Sometimes with me, I just cut out the middleman
4:43
and I don't go out at all. Let me see. Okay, bright orange
4:48
What do you think? Okay, yes. That against your skin will be so pretty
4:53
I just don't go on a lot of dates because I have anxiety about what they're gonna say
4:58
about me. Ta-da! Makayla is going on a date. Okay, Makayla. So that's what the surprise was
5:09
Something is going on a date. Mom, please. Sometimes out in public, it can feel like we're in a zoo
5:16
and people are just coming by to stare at us. To stare at us
5:19
For the most part, we ignore them. And since we're visually impaired, we don't see them
5:25
Since we're visually impaired, we don't see them staring at us anyway. For the most part
5:30
It is kind of hard dating, because I do have a disability with my visual impairment
5:34
I just, I feel anxious. Hello. How you doing? I'm Kimar. I'm Mikayla
5:41
Hi, Makayla. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. How are you feeling today, meeting me for the first time
5:47
I would say I'm more excited and nervous. What do you like to do? A lot of things, but I'm more into social events, like outdoors, movies, stuff like that
5:57
How about you? Well, I stay inside. You're a homebody. She's so cute
6:07
This is a little different experience for me, but hey, we're here, right
6:11
So I'm intrigued to learn more. To have a partner who understands me
6:17
would mean so much to me. Often I do get misunderstood for my albinism
6:22
So could you tell that I have albinism? Have you ever been or came across anybody with albinism This is actually the first time I hearing about it You wanna share with me a little bit more I don know if you can tell but I am But I have zero melanin
6:40
I'm questioned a lot by others. But I feel like when I grew up and started to become my own person, it didn't bother me as much
6:51
Well, I think you're beautiful. I mean, you still are. And getting to know you better and learning more about some of the differences, I'm more intrigued to get to know you better
6:59
So, I have something to tell you. What, hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Kimar
7:09
What's your name? I'm Megan. Oh, hey Megan, nice. Nice to meet you to me
7:12
This is my mother. Oh, hey mother! Two beautiful daughters. See where it's coming from, mom
7:18
The day was great, man, she's beautiful. So I'm looking forward to learn more about her
7:23
and see what we get out of this experience. I want to show people with albinism
7:27
that, like, is possible, and they will get through it. We did have a lot in common
7:34
He had a nice smile. I really liked that. He seemed really nice
7:38
I think we could be good friends. Really proud of them for going out to do something like this
7:43
because they're, I feel like, introverts. So for them stepping out to be able to do something like this
7:49
it's great. I love to see it. We're out here, we're loud, and we're proud
7:54
and we don't care who knows. you know so and that's how we live our lives and i think it's important to show that
8:01
hey guys i'm daniel and i'm derrick and we are the heart twins today i am going on my first
8:11
blind date and i will be joining him majority i'm always single derrick is always with someone
8:19
because i'm a picky person dating has been a hell of a roller coaster to the point where i said why
8:26
Did I get on this ride? If my date can tell the difference between us
8:32
then I would be really impressed. Wait, where's Daniel? I am Daniel
8:40
Oh, my... Hi, I'm Daniel. And I'm Derek. And we are the Hart Twins
8:47
We are very inseparable. We're like a pair of shoes. You can't have one without the other
8:52
For the most part, we are together. I want to say 80% of the time
8:57
Yes. We literally go to the gym. We go to the mall. Out to eat
9:01
We hang out with our friends. We go to the beach. We have a lot of friends, but it's nothing
9:06
At the end of the day, we're besties. Nothing tops this. Sometimes they do get jealous because they're like
9:12
your twin always have to be right there. I'm like, no, he doesn't. If I still let them know at the end of the day
9:17
my twin will be there regardless. We came in together. We're leaving together
9:21
And that's that. If you like it, cool. if you don't like it, that's cool too
9:26
That's cool too. Dating has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride
9:32
Some parts of the ride, it's up and down, up and down
9:36
very shaky, to the point where I say to myself, why did I get on this ride
9:46
I'm just looking forward to meeting him and hoping he's the man of my dreams
9:54
I'm Evner Pierre-Lewis, 23 years old. I'm a life insurance agent and I make some funny
10:01
videos on YouTube. What I look for in a partner is someone that can make me laugh. I want to be
10:06
able to enjoy myself being in their company. Gosh, really where is he? Hey
10:18
Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you
10:22
Nice to meet you. I thought it was one of you guys. No, it's both of us
10:26
Wait, so you guys date the same people? No. Oh, okay. It's Daniel who's actually on the date
10:31
I'm just here for moral support. Yes, he's here for support. Hopefully, that's okay
10:36
That's not too much for you. But I'm seeing doubles. Oh, no, no, no, no
10:43
What do you guys do for your living? So I work in IT, but on the side, I also do modeling, brand ambassador, runway, fashion
10:53
It's a fast-paced lifestyle. What about you? I'm a licensed Asian. I also do a little bit of social media, too
11:00
I do YouTube a little bit. Nice. How old are you? 23
11:05
23? Hey, nice. How old do I look? 26. We're going to go with that
11:11
Yes. I'm a little up there in age, but you know, TBD
11:18
Do you usually, when you're dating, do you usually go for younger or older? I don't have no preference
11:22
It's either younger or older. I mean, if you look good, you look good
11:27
Right, yeah. When you hang out, do you hang out with groups of people
11:30
or just by yourself? Try to do it with a group of people. Because I was saying, what if we hang out
11:36
Is that going to be too much? Hanging out with, you know, twins? I might get confused
11:40
You ever dated? That's when people... No. You can spot the difference with us? How
11:46
No, I'm asking, can you? By looking at us over here. Okay, wait, wait, one of you guys has, like, the thing..
11:52
Okay, yes. Okay, who's that? That's Daniel. What? Derek? My dad! Already
12:02
Do you guys ever have issues dating... Let's say you're dating someone, what if that person wants Derek
12:12
So we have been through that before and it was kind of a, hey, do you want him
12:18
Do you want me? And we told the guy you're going to have to choose. So he ended up
12:23
Oh, wow. Yes, he ended up choosing me. Did he pick like a coin? No
12:27
He just flipped a coin like, there it goes. I wish that was the case
12:32
Men find it really difficult dealing with both of us because they feel like we are a handful
12:38
They look at us as, oh, wow, it's two of them. So they get to the nitty gritty and you know what I'm talking about with the questions
12:46
I do. Y'all ever had a threesome? And that's when I'm like, yeah, no, this isn't gonna happen
12:51
This isn't that kind of party. I want you, but then I want, no, no, you don't
12:57
Choose one or the other because this ain't a two for one combo. And if you choose him and if he don want you you are definitely not gonna choose me afterwards You don want to be second No What your favorite food My favorite food is like fried tilapia I a seafood type of person Oh same Same. Same. Great
13:17
I'm a seafood type person. So it has to be fried tilapia, fried shrimp, fried conch. Mm-hmm
13:22
That's all right. I like, do you like crab legs? Yeah. I like crab legs
13:27
What about oysters? Well, what I have heard is it's the aphrodisiac
13:31
Yeah, that's true. That's true. Did you ever feel anything? I tried it like once and like, yeah
13:39
You said you got it turned off. Right, right. Okay. Wow. Jesus
13:47
Do you feel being with a twin is like a threat or do you think it might come off as a threat
13:53
Like, oh wow. There's two of them. See, no, it is a little bit, not a threat in a valley
13:58
but like if one's mad, I'm gonna have two people mad at me regardless. If I make you mad, you're gonna be mad at me
14:04
The fact that we're twins, it does make it hard for us to be in relationships with men
14:09
because I feel like sometimes they're looking at my twin as a threat
14:14
They're like, oh my gosh, I feel like I'm gonna be competing. Am I gonna always have you to myself
14:18
Or do I have to worry about you bringing your twin along with us
14:23
You work out? Yeah. How many days a week you go? Three to four at least. Okay. Good. Relax
14:30
Okay, okay. Calm down. I mean, I don't got much. You know, got a little something
14:39
Do you cook? Yes, I do. You have to have, like, grill
14:45
So, like, I make fried grill and then some peak leaves. If you come over, you know, I might be able to whip you something up. Okay
14:52
I gotta use the bathroom. I gotta paint. You guys use the bathroom at the same time
14:57
We do. Wow. I think the day is going good so far. He's a nice guy. I like his vibe, his energy. He's very chill
15:07
When he said he cook, that did it for me. I was like, what? A man that cooks? I'm feeling it and I really like it
15:14
So who knows? Let's see where it goes. I want to fill him out a little more just to see where this may go
15:21
So this is the time where we need to separate. I get it. It's understandable. No hard feelings. No shade whatsoever
15:27
Good. I'll be back. Do your thing. Wait, where's Daniel? I am Daniel
15:36
Oh, my bad. My bad. Wait, y'all just said in his seat, though
15:41
Just because Derek sat here does not mean I'm Derek. I'm Daniel
15:45
I know I did tell you to pay attention to us the first second we met
15:49
We're going to blame it on the alcohol. That's okay. We'll blame it on the alcohol
15:53
How it tastes. It tastes good. Cheers. Cheers. So let's date. Do you believe in open relationships
16:01
I mean, open relationships has its perks. I prefer not to be in an open relationship
16:08
because I feel like that's what I go through down here. When I meet guys, they're literally saying
16:14
they're with someone already. And it's like, damn, so I'm going to be the third wheel
16:18
That's true. But don't you think that's kind of, that's like me being, you know, in a relationship with you potentially
16:22
because I'm the third wheel to the twins. You have a good point
16:28
Oh, no. I mean, it's not like that. What do you like to do for fun
16:35
For fun, I love to go outdoors, whether it be biking, hiking
16:39
Love to go to the movies. I'm a big movie buff. I'm a big horror fanatic
16:44
I don't like to see regular movies like romantic comedy. That's cute and all
16:49
But at the same time, I want someone I could snuggle up with
16:53
Right. I jump a lot. See, I'll be there to hold you when you jump
16:57
Thank you. Thank you. Well, it was definitely nice meeting you. I definitely enjoyed this date
17:04
You remember which one this is? Daniel. See, I got in by the edge
17:08
See, you had to give me that chance. You've been paying attention. Thank you. I think the date went really, really well
17:16
I got to know Daniel a lot more. Hopefully I don't confuse him with Derek, but I think it went well
17:22
I believe that. I feel like the date went beautifully. I got to know Pierre
17:27
He's a really nice guy, sweet, genuine, and I definitely wanna go on another date with him, so
17:33
Little on me, little on you, you know? If he's with it, then I'm with it
17:39
so let's go on another date, what do you say? Yeah, let's go across the street
17:43
Let's go to the beach. Let's go to the beach, let's go. So, how did the date go
17:49
Do you like him? It went well, I like him. He's cool. I like his vibe, his energy
17:55
But I'm looking forward to going on another date with Pierre. It looked like you guys had a good time
18:00
Thank you. We did. I'm kind of smitten, but stop. I'm a little shy about it, but it's okay
18:07
Thank you, though, for supporting me. Of course. That's what I'm here for. Thank you
18:11
Thank you. We're Double Dose Twins
18:21
Double Dose! We mirror each other's lifestyle. We're inseparable. Today I'm going to go on a blind date
18:26
and my identical twin sister is coming with me to be the judge
18:30
And he has no idea. Us three twins and our bond definitely has an effect on dating
18:37
They just think it's weird. Let's play a trick on him. Let's see if he falls further. What? Let's switch seats
18:41
Let's switch seats. Don't switch seats on me now. What's my name again? Oh. Let me help you figure out what you're wearing
18:48
This is a blind date. What do we have two of? What if I don't like him at all
18:51
My name is Michelle, I live in Miami, Florida. I could read the room, and I'll know
18:55
I'm Maryam, I also live in Miami, Florida. If it's going hard or wrong for me, then I know it's going hard or wrong for you
19:00
We're double-dose twins. We mirror each other's lifestyle from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed
19:06
We work together, we're inseparable. We have to always match very, very precisely on everything
19:11
Hair, makeup, nails, they're the same, maybe a different color. Today I'm gonna go on a blind date
19:16
and my identical twin sister's coming with me to be the judge, and he has no idea
19:21
Michelle, almost ready. I'm nervous. I'm ready. I'm ready for these questions I have for him
19:28
I bet you he's going to be like, wow, two of you? When he sees you, he's going to be nervous
19:33
If he's been drinking, he might think his vision is messing with him
19:38
Double dose. Hi I Michael I 31 years old originally from Ukraine raised in Baltimore and now living in Miami I work for the purchasing department in a real estate firm
19:51
I don't have a particular look or style. I think it's just more pretty much laid back
19:55
Stylish, but laid back. Hello. Hi, girls. Very nice to meet y'all
20:00
I'm Michael. Miriam. Michelle. Michelle, very nice to meet you both. Wow
20:05
First boyfriend's name. Miriam and Michelle. Michelle. Which one is Michelle? You're Michelle, right
20:12
Okay. Wow. Very pretty. Thank you. How was your day? It was good. How was yours
20:18
Very good, very good. Are those tequilas? Tequilas. Tequilas. I need one of those too
20:24
Where are you from? Originally, I'm from Ukraine. I came to America when I was about 11 months
20:28
and I was raised in Baltimore. Nice. And I moved to Miami about a year ago
20:32
Oh, so you only lived here for a year? A year, yeah. Do you have any kids? No kids
20:36
No kids, no pets. No girlfriend, no wife? No. Why are you single
20:42
Did you cheat? Huh? Did you cheat? No, no, no. Be honest
20:47
No cheating. Have you ever dated a twin? No, never dated a twin
20:51
Us being twins and our bond definitely has an effect on dating
20:56
They just think it's weird. They don't understand that it's not just a regular sibling. It's a twin
20:59
It's like, we're inseparable. They get jealous, which is weird. You have to know that I come with an identical twin sister
21:05
that she's going to be around all the time, but you can't look at her in that type of way
21:09
And I'm also judging you. My six year relationship actually ended because he was extremely jealous of my sister
21:18
He didn't want us to be double dose twins. How do you feel about both of us showing up for this date
21:23
That's pretty interesting. Interesting and what, like interesting like what? It's very surprising
21:28
Double the pleasure, double the fun. Well, it's not double the pleasure, double the fun
21:31
She's just here to judge. I'm just, yeah. So what do you girls do
21:36
We host events, we're actually social media influencers, we like host parties, I'm always traveling
21:40
We're here most of the time, but on the weekends we're mostly out of town. So did you ever date anybody that was like
21:46
into certain things like that? Like into like the nightlife or you know, kind of different type of job, not a nine to five
21:50
We don't basically, you don't have a nine to five type of job, it's kind of like more of a
21:55
on the go, nightlife, whenever they call us we gotta go, up and go type of job, type of that stuff
22:01
Are you like the insecure type? No, I think I'm a very good catch, for sure
22:06
I would date me. I would definitely date me. You would date you? Yeah, I would date you, for sure. Oh, you're arrogant, aren't you
22:12
No, just confident. I know what I have to think to the table. Okay. That's cool. You girls want some drinks
22:18
Yes. Make it double. Double dose. Can we have some drinks over here, please? Thank you
22:22
Cheers. This drink is coming right through me. I have to use the bathroom
22:26
Well, we have to use the bathroom. Body works at the same time, too. Yeah, this drink's just running right through me
22:32
Yeah, make sense. He's going good, actually. I'm surprised. He's cute. He's handsome
22:38
I kind of feel like he's looking at my sister a little too much. I don't know if that's like a bad thing. I'm like, over there
22:44
Keep your eyes over there. But I don't know. Maybe he's a little nervous because he keeps like, yeah, I think he's like getting the wrong impression
22:50
And he's like maybe thinking that this is like a two for one special. Are you mesmerized
22:54
Eyes over there, sir. Let's play a trick on him. Let's see if he falls for the rest. What
22:58
Let's switch seats. I have a plan. When we come back, Mary was going to sit in my spot, and we're going to see if my date notices
23:08
And if he does notice, check for him. If he doesn't, bam
23:13
I think he's going to totally fail. He's going to fail because, come on
23:18
Okay, let's see though. You sit across the mountain. Don't switch seats on me now
23:26
Okay, okay. No, it's cool, it's cool. Why would you think that
23:31
I thought you were trying to confuse me. What's my name again? Uh, Michelle
23:37
My name? Yeah. Michelle. That's Miriam. No, it's not. That's Miranda. We haven't met her yet
23:45
She's the third one, all right? So what's her name? Miriam. But Michelle was sitting across from you the whole time. Yeah
23:52
So why do you think that that's Miriam? You're very twinsy, but your eyes are different
23:57
so it's easy to tell you. Oh, you know the difference a little bit? Yeah. Wow, like you passed the test
24:01
I guess we'll switch back seats. We put a lot of effort in this and you still passed
24:06
That's good. We should probably know that not only are we identical
24:10
we're inseparable. I just wanna make sure you're okay with that. A lot of guys, they try to come between us
24:14
They don't like the fact that we're too close. They think, you know what I'm saying, maybe they get intimidated
24:18
If they wanna settle for less, you know, that's them. Like if we're on a date. Y'all too much, then go find less, you know
24:24
That's what I say. If we're too much, go find less. That's what I tell them. So you wouldn't have a problem with that, like
24:29
No, sounds good. Sounds expensive, but sounds good. Cheers to that. Expensive is good
24:36
So you said dating in Miami is really expensive, but... It can get expensive, yeah
24:40
What do you really love about Miami? The weather is pretty much always nice
24:44
Do you do water sports? Not yet. Right now, I just swim with sharks. Well, that's awesome, because she's very adventure-ish
24:50
Adventure-ish. Adventure-ish. Let me get that from her. You want to go swim with the sharks
24:56
It's really fun. Just make sure she comes back with both of her legs, both of her horns. No, no, no
25:00
It's not that. I kind of need her. It's not that dangerous
25:04
It's pretty chill once you get used to it. I'll try it. I go at least once, sometimes twice a month
25:08
Wait, can I come? You'll be there. I want to come, too
25:13
So you don't mind if I bring her on a couple dates? Michelle about to steal your date
25:17
He's super cute. That is not what you came here for. I'm sorry, girl
25:21
You were supposed to be here. He's too perfect, right? He's perfect. You guys are too nice
25:26
All right, so it's getting late. I had a great time with you both, especially Michelle
25:30
You too. I had a great time too. I think it went pretty well. It was a different experience from what I'm used to
25:37
It went pretty well. He didn't fail any of the tasks we tried to give him. He didn't get mixed up with us when we tried to play the trick on him
25:44
I do think we'll meet up again. It seems like I think we could really enjoy each other's time together
25:49
I do think we'll meet up again. Definitely you got to go swim with the sharks. This dating experience taught me, well, if a guy is actually too perfect, then we might both want him
25:59
No, I'm just kidding. If you bring your twin sister on a date with you
26:05
he might want both of you
