‘I have a three year old daughter, but it’s so different from my first so it’s so weird for me to be exactly like her because it’s so different.’
The twins also revealed they were stunned after discovering they were both pregnant within two days of each other.
Nikki, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Artem Chigvintsev, recalled: ‘I was just feeling symptoms and stuff because Brie had just told me she was pregnant, and I was like “I’m just gonna take a pregnancy test and just get it out of my head.”
‘When I saw positive I was shocked, and then we both we like really embarrassed because it’s weird, we’re identical twins, we’re literally a week and a half apart, it’s just kinda weird.’

The new book charts the twins’ rise to fame, first as wrestlers before moving into the competitive world of reality television, following a difficult upbringing with their parents in Phoenix, Arizona.
One passage recalls the moment Bella passed out after drinking too much alcohol as a 15-year old and woke up with a man she thought was a friend on top of her and inside of her.
Recalling the experience, she wrote: ‘There is the horrible offence in the moment, and then the shame and blame that follow and feel almost worse than the original pain.
‘When something like this happens to you, you understand the blame-the-victim mentality, how easy it is to feel shame rather than anger, how easy it is to feel like you could have stopped it yourself.’
Incomparable is out now.
