Born January 11th, 1987, the Reeves sextuplets were the first in America to survive infancy. They garnered fame and fortune simply by existing, but the allure wore off by the time they were teenagers. They all moved on, enjoying their separate paths far away from each other (being forced into the same outfits for the first eighteen years of your life has a way of grating on you). Then, in 2012, the world turns upside down, and they’ll never be the same.
