Can fraternal twins have two (or more) different dads?

182 views

If the sperm of two or more men were metaphorically put in a blender and prepared for artificial insemination, isn’t it possible to have twins with two dads? Has there ever been a documented case? Further, what would those twins be called? The word “fraternal” implies that both babies would have the same parents.

It’s rare, but it does happen occasionally and you don’t need artificial insemination for it. In terms of a documented case: here is a time that it happened on the Maury Show: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QXVfoFMakU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QXVfoFMakU) (you can skip to 7:15 for where he gets the results).
