Muhl, a model and singer, said she was obsessed with twins when she was growing up.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Online, Muhl said: ‘When I was around six years old, I would always ask my mom if I had a twin. She was so confused by it.
‘I even wanted to play twins with my girlfriends all the time, having us dress the same way.’
At the time, Muhl had no idea that she shared DNA with her unborn twin, but she always knew something was different about her.
Besides having her torso split down the middle with a different color, Muhl has always been plagued with sickness.
She constantly has colds, splitting migraines and terrible menstruation cycles.
One day Muhl happened to be flipping through the channels when she landed on a documentary on Chimerism in 2009.
‘I fell out of my chair,’ Muhl said. ‘There was a baby who had the same line as I did.’
Chimerism is an extremely rare medical condition and is when an individual is composed of two or more genetically distinct cell lines originating from different zygotes.
Muhl wasn’t officially diagnosed with the condition until visiting a throat doctor a week later, who had happened to work on Ripley’s Believe It or Not! medical cases.
The entertainer told him what she had seen on the show and he revealed he had heard of the rare condition but he never actually met anyone with Chimerism.
