Indy publisher Brandi Rivera and Indy sports editor Victor Bryant now have a family of five as they welcome the addition of twins Amaya Nicole and William Gene. Amaya was born on 6/21 at 11:57 p.m. and William was born on 6/22 at 12:15 a.m. at Cottage Hospital.
Brandi and Victor’s 4-year-old son, Elijah, hoped for a younger sibling and now has more than he bargained for. “I can’t wait to hug them,” he said.
The twins came in well ahead of deadline at 34 weeks and are spending quality time in the NICU being cared for by the professionals. “Holding them both for the first time together was a moment I won’t forget,” said Brandi. “I feel like I was the third wheel to their sibling bonding.”
