Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon: Jax and Jaid Are Two Peas In a Pod

Aside from their October 18th birthday, 2-year-old fraternal twins Jaid Thomas and Jax Joseph have little else in common!
“[Jax] is definitely friendlier — he’ll be your friend right away — and Jaid is a little more reserved — he’ll check you out before,” the boys’ mom Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon dishes to Celebrity Baby Blog, adding that the differences between the two have been obvious “since day one…I swear to you!”
That said, despite their contrasting personalities, nothing is stronger than the brotherly bond the twins share. According to the actress, Jaid and Jax have recently become more aware of the other and in turn look to each other for comfort.
“They sleep in the same room and Jax will wake up [first]. I’ll pick him up to take him downstairs and he’ll be like, ‘Jaid! Jaid! Jaid!’ like, ‘Don’t leave my brother, don’t leave my brother!’” she says.
“It’s really amazing because I always think that because they’re together all the time, they’d be sick of each other. Sometimes they are, but it’s really nice to see how much they depend on each other and look forward to seeing one another.”
Life is hectic as a mom to three — including Oliver, 18 — but Garcelle, 42, and husband Mike Nilon make it a point to take quality couple time.
“We try to go see plays, we try to go to dinners, but we go away sometimes to Palm Desert for two days, just to get away,” she shares. “The other day we went to the W hotel in Westwood, just for the day…we sat by the pool, had lunch, just hung out. It was great…little getaways.”
