In 2018, Argentina witnessed the birth of Virginia and Catalina, the nation’s first albino twins. Jorge Gomez, their father, shared the joy of expecting twin girls, emphasizing that their albinism brought no change to their happiness. Born prematurely at 36 weeks, the girls, with milky white hair, became an instant sensation on social media. Albinism, a rare genetic disorder causing a lack of pigmentation, results in white or blonde hair.

Despite their unique condition, Gomez feels blessed and emphasizes precautions due to their sensitivity to UV rays. Now at four years old, the twins, requiring extra care, continue to grow beautifully. Their story highlights the rareness of albinism in Argentina, sparking widespread fascination and admiration.
