The two are indentical twins, Kate being older than Kacey by nine minutes,considers her personality very different than Kacey’s, “We’re identical twins, but our personalities are so different. I am the more serious, responsible and stubborn twin. I’m very focused and Kacey is more playful, laid back and louder. She jokes around more.”
