Jey Uso shares advice for parents of twins, reflecting on his own unique experiences growing up alongside his brother Jimmy Uso. Following Jey’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship win at WrestleMania 41, the famed WWE twins spoke with WrestleZone, delivering both witty and perceptive guidance for families raising twins.
Twin Brotherhood at the Heart of Tag Team Success
Jimmy and Jey Uso have long shared their “twin thing” bond, making them one of the most celebrated tag teams in WWE history, boasting eight tag team titles. Their relationship extends beyond the ring, with their coordinated teamwork and sibling rivalry often providing a dynamic edge both during matches and in everyday life.
The twin connection doesn’t just impact their wrestling achievements. As brothers, they explained how this unique relationship influences everything, something instantly recognizable to anyone parenting twins. During their interview with WrestleZone, they described the rollercoaster nature of sibling interactions, especially when it comes to twin children fighting one moment and reconciling the next.
Lessons from Growing Up as Twins: “Let Them Work It Out”
Jey and Jimmy shared candid advice based on their own childhood—and it’s both practical and amusing for parents. Jey emphasized that even a close dad can’t rival the innate connection twins share. The pair suggested that parents should resist stepping in when twins quarrel, or trying to mediate every disagreement, because the bond between twins operates on its own unpredictable rhythm.
“You watch them [fight] and then you watch them [get along] like nothing ever happened. That’s that twin thing. It really is.”
—Jimmy Uso, WWE Superstar
Jey added that no matter how involved a parent thinks they are, twins always understand each other on a deeper level, emphasizing the importance of letting twins handle their disputes themselves. Instead of always stepping between their arguments, both brothers encouraged parents—especially dads—to stand back, avoid getting in the middle, and let the twins hash things out.
Jimmy’s perspective was clear:
“The twin knows the twin more than [you think you know them], you feel me?”
—Jimmy Uso, WWE Superstar
Watching the Drama Unfold: Referee or Spectator?
According to Jimmy Uso, the secret to surviving as the parent of twins is to enjoy the show, sometimes acting as a referee but often just being a spectator. He joked that having a referee’s shirt might help, given how quickly conflicts can escalate between twins for reasons only they understand.
“Wait, we got to finish this! See, he’s trying to skip over it. Like, it’s all bad, every fight is bad. It could literally go from 0 to 100 like so fast, and you don’t even know why.”
—Jey Uso, WWE Superstar
The brothers admitted that sometimes even they didn’t know why they fought or made peace, but what mattered most was how these tussles eventually brought them closer. Jey also winked at the divide between dealing with twin girls and boys, suggesting that dads might want to let moms take the lead when it comes to daughters. Jimmy finished with a laugh, encouraging parents to grab a snack and watch their twins figure things out on their own.
Why Jey Uso’s Twin Advice Resonates with Parents
Jey Uso’s advice for parents of twins captures both the chaos and the camaraderie unique to twin siblings. Their perspective, shaped by years of shared experiences and competitive moments within the WWE, offers a reminder that parental intervention is not always necessary. Sometimes, stepping back lets twins build their own bond, navigate disagreements, and ultimately grow stronger together.
As the Uso brothers showed, whether inside the ring or at home, the twin connection is something to sit back and marvel at—snacks in hand, ready to witness every unpredictable moment.
