In an astonishing and heartening disclosure, Kendall, a proud mother, recounts the instance when she and her husband, Joshua, learned that their small family of three would unexpectedly expand to include an additional four children all at once.

These four tiny babies, Molly, Quinn, Indie, and Hudson, have defied the oddѕ and emerged as the country’s first set of quads in two decades. Now, at 13 weeks old, these little miracles will finally get to sleep side by side in their cozy Timaru nursery after being discharged from the һoѕріtаɩ following their monumental birth in August.

In an exclusive interview with Women’s Day, Kendall and Joshua express their adoration for their new sons and daughters, who are now siblings to their three-year-old Brooklynn.
