Reuben and Floren Blake is a twin brother that was born from the same batch of embryos, resulting from IVF (In vitro fertilization or IVF) of sperm cells and egg cells parents.
But while Reuben embryos successfully implanted in 2006, Floren-old embryos kept frozen until 7 weeks of last year.

Now both of their parents, Jody and Simon, feel very happy to share the story of a remarkable age difference between kids 'twin' them.

"I tell everyone. People interested in seeing our new baby was born, and I find it very difficult to resist the temptation to say 'By the way, they are twins you know,'," said Simon Blake (45 years), father of the twins Reuben and Floren Blake, who worked as a lecturer of business, as reported by Dailymail, Thursday (January 5, 2012).

According to Simon, everyone who heard his story was truly amazed and very surprised.

"We are often recommended to store excess embryos, so they can be used later on. Unfortunately, because of the opportunities the workings of nature, not everyone can have a surplus of embryos and of course not everyone is successful with embryos that they have," explains Dr. Valentine Akande of Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine.
