Tineke 'Tini' Younger shares death of twin daughter after sudden placenta abruption at 36 weeks

TikTok creator and cooking influencer Tineke “Tini” Younger has shared that one of her twin daughters died shortly before birth after she experienced a placental abruption. Younger confirmed the heartbreaking news in a Nov. 26 Instagram post.

Younger expressed that both babies are “so beautiful,” adding that Arya will remain an important part of their family story. She also noted that her surviving daughter will grow up knowing she is a twin with “a beautiful twin sister.”

The chef, known for her viral cooking videos and appearance on Next Level Chef, told followers she would be stepping away from social media to grieve, saying she is unsure when she will return.

Despite the devastating loss, Younger emphasized that Arya will always be honored and remembered as part of their growing family.
