The actress Tanja Szewczenko had twins.
"Hello, we are Leo & Luis!" She wrote on Instagram about two photos.
One picture shows a tiny baby hand, the other picture shows a small foot.
The babies were born on Wednesday night.
"A little too early ... but we were just too curious and wanted to know what's going on out here!" The post, which was written from the perspective of the newborns, continued.
The identical twin brothers are currently still in the intensive care unit.
"But everyone praises us for doing so well ... we breathe independently and only need a warming bed and not an incubator!"
Actress and figure skater
Szewczenko played for years in the RTL soaps "Unter Uns" and "Alles was geht".
The 43-year-old and her husband Norman Jeschke already have a daughter.
Ten-year-old Jona is taking part in the dance show "Let's Dance - Kids" this year.
Before her acting career, Szewczenko celebrated great success as a figure skater.
In 1994 she took part in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer (Norway).
In the same year she won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Chiba, Japan.
In total, she was German champion three times.
