Eugenie Bouchard celebrates birthday with twin sister for first time in 8 years
On February 24, Eugenie Bouchard celebrated her 29th birthday with her twin sister Beatrice, after a long gap of eight years. The athlete took to social media to share some delightful pictures of the joyous occasion, which was received with great enthusiasm by her fans and followers.
"Celebrating our bday together for the first time in 8 years," she captioned the post.
For a considerable period, Eugenie and Beatrice had a challenging relationship that stemmed from their separation at a tender age after their parents' divorce. Beatrice relocated to live with their father, while Eugenie Bouchard remained with their mother.
The sudden separation had a profound impact on the sisters' relationship, leaving them feeling disconnected and isolated from each other. The emotional toll of the separation was significant, and it created a rift between them that was difficult to bridge.
In an interview in 2021, Beatrice reflected on her relationship with her sister, noting that they were far from a "simple, happy, perfect family."
"We are definitely not a simple, happy, perfect family. Even anything but that. Our parents got divorced, they weren't happy with each other. Genie was with my mother for most of her life from then on. Myself, our siblings Charlotte and William with my father. So we grew up separately," Beatrice said.
The twin sisters are now making up for lost time and are looking forward to celebrating numerous birthdays together in the coming years.
