Being born on the same day as your husband or wife seems like fate. But for Anthony and Jamie Burkett, there is more to their story than that.
Why? The two were also born in the very same hospital together.

Their story began with a swipe right. The two started dating after meeting on Tinder, a dating app, in June of 2015. They decided to exchange phone numbers and go out on a date.
Jamie told WDSU that after they messaged on the app and exchanged numbers, they agreed that it was time to meet up.
Anthony then sent Jamie a text message with his email address included. She realized the last five digits were 11493.
Jamie realized that the number she was seeing in the message was her birthday. She was shocked when he revealed that he had the same exact birthday.
While this is strange, it isn’t as uncommon as many think. More than 19 million people have birthdays with someone else. But for them, they quickly realized there was something even crazier going on.
They found out that they didn’t live too far away from one another. This then made them ask about the hospital the other was born in.
Coincidentally, they were both born at East Jefferson Hospital.
They found out later that they were both born on January 14, 1994, 17 hours apart in the same maternity ward. Jamie came into the world at 6:00 p.m. while Anthony was born at 11:35 a.m.
Not only that, they are both left-handed. They also each weighed eight pounds, seven ounces at birth.
They both believe that there is more to their story than just coincidence, as they are both of Christian faith. The couple was later married at their local church after dating and growing closer.
