Couple shocked to become rare parents to have quadruplets conceived naturally: ‘I didn't think it was gonna be four!'
This family got four times the cuteness. A New Jersey couple has defied the odds, welcoming quadruplets — all conceived naturally. Aja (pronounced Asia) Kennon and her fiancé, Emmanuel Volmar, recently became among the few people in the world to experience such an extraordinary pregnancy earlier this month. Advertisement Kennon and Volmar were excited to expand their family — which already included an 8-year-old son, EJ — when they unexpectedly found out she was pregnant. She assumed that it might be twins because her belly had grown so large, but she was surprised when she saw three heads on the sonogram. 6 The New Jersey couple has defied the odds, welcoming quadruplets — all conceived naturally. Aja Kennon/Instagram 'I didn't think it was gonna be four!' Kennon told The Post. 'This was unexpected.' Advertisement But it was a quartet of distinct heads, confirming a rare event with odds ranging from one-in-700,000 to one-in-a-million, doctors said. And the July 1 delivery itself was an extraordinary event, involving more than 20 medical professionals — each baby with their own dedicated medical crew at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. 'There was a whole football team in there,' Volmar joked. Kennon easily popped out one healthy baby after the other, each about a minute apart, starting at 10:59 a.m. The miracle babies were all brought home right away, safe and sound. Advertisement The boys — Ean, Evan and Eamon — share the same first initial 'E' with their dad, while the girl, Alayha, shares an 'A' with her mom. 6 The quadruplets — Ean, Evan, Alayha and Eamon — were born the morning of July 1. Aja Kennon/Instagram 6 'I didn't think it was gonna be four!' Kennon told The Post. 'This was unexpected.' With twins running in both her and Volmar's families, it was meant to be — though, because they learned about the quadruplets on April Fools' Day, people didn't believe them at first. Advertisement Perhaps even more shocking, Kennon had no complications during her high-risk pregnancy. She even kept working as a USPS mailwoman full-time until seven months into her pregnancy and thinks all the walking helped. 'I was surprised myself by how easy a pregnancy it was, honestly,' Kennon admitted, sharing that her first pregnancy was a bit more difficult, as EJ needed to be induced. 6 Despite the shock, Kennon embraced the news. With twins running in both her and Volmar's families, it was meant to be. Aja Kennon/Instagram 6 Because they learned about the quadruplets — pictured in the hospital with new big brother EJ — on April Fools' Day, people didn't believe them at first. Courtesy of Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center Despite the overwhelming nature of raising quadruplets, the couple remains amazingly calm. 'Once we found out that we were having quadruplets, we immediately got the ball rolling. From the moment we found out, we were just, like, 'Okay, let's get the show on the road,'' Kennon said. The couple is now facing a whirlwind of joy and uncertainty as they begin to raise the newborns alongside their elementary schooler. The family, who initially planned for just one more child, quickly had to adjust to the reality of four cribs, quadruple the diapers — and an entirely new life. Advertisement They've also decided to delay a wedding until all their children can walk down the aisle and participate. But, thanks to their pre-planning and support system — Volmar's mother has fortunately moved in for now — they've jumped into parenting five children quite easily. Reality check: Dad does admit that the feeding schedule is especially demanding. 'It's never-ending, and then before you know it, it's time to feed them again,' Volmar told The Post. Advertisement But even EJ has happily stepped up, offering to feed the babies and change their diapers. And while he loves all his siblings equally, but has a special place in his heart for his sister. 'He's very delicate with his sister, like he'll make sure he kisses her on the head,' Kennon shared. To help with the financial burden, the family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover medical expenses, transportation and the costs associated with caring for quadruplets. 'We are overjoyed, filled with love and gratitude — but we'd be lying if we said we weren't overwhelmed, too,' Kennon wrote on the page. Advertisement 6 The boys share the same first initial 'E' with their dad, while the girl shares an 'A' with her mom. Courtesy of Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center Their community has rallied around them as the news has spread. New Jersey area mom Facebook groups have flooded the comments of posts sharing the news. One woman whom Kennon hasn't spoken to since high school even reached out and asked to coordinate a meal train to help out. Fortunately, thanks to their pre-planning and local support, they've settled into parenting five children very well. Advertisement According to BECU and the National Diaper Bank Network, they'll likely spend about $4,000 a year on diapers alone. But luckily, they haven't even needed to buy diapers or wipes yet: They have a closet filled with supplies — all donated or gifted. 'Everybody's as shocked as we were when we found out,' Kennon said, joking, 'We're pretty much the center of attention.'

Orange Crush trademark holder gets head start on permit app, but gets denied for now
Shortly after the newly permitted Orange Crush Festival came and went with less fanfare and angst than in years past, Orange Crush trademark holder George Turner submitted the first permit application for the 2026 event. Although the permit was denied by city staff at the end of May, the action does not mean that the event won't be permitted by next April. Orange Crush had existed as a unpermitted event on Tybee Island since the early-nineties, when Savannah State University cut ties with the Spring Break event after a dozen arrests, a stabbing and a drowning. The gathering, marketed to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) on the east coast, was kept alive through word of mouth. Earlier this year, Tybee Island City Council approved a permit after Orange Crush Florida CEO and organizer Steven Smalls who worked with Turner secured the permit. Originally proposed in December 2024 as a three-day event, Smalls and Turner eventually negotiated with city staff to secure a permit for a one-day event with a single stage and agreed to meet several other conditions set by council. Though the event this year went smoothly, tension seemed to be brewing between Turner and Smalls. Turner stopped attending meetings with staff leading up the event and wasn't present the day of. Small, the permit holder who attended the event, said he felt Orange Crush was a success and hoped to do it the same way, although more thoughtfully, in 2026. In the days following Orange Crush 2025, Turner began demanding $50,000 per year for a licensing agreement for the use of the Orange Crush name or $350,000 to purchase and transfer the trademark in emails sent to media. Turner also said he sent a cease-and-desist letter to Smalls and that Smalls would no longer be an organizer for the Orange Crush Festival unless they reached an agreement by May 1. On April 27, Turner submitted to the City of Tybee Island a special event permit application for a three-day event, April 17-19, 2026, on the beach just north of the pier. In his permit application, Turner proposed an event with the 'same exact layout as Orange Crush 2025, but three days instead of only one day.' He then sent more than 20 emails modifying plans for the event in the application, estimated City Manager Bret Bell. A few days later on May 5, Smalls submitted a separate special event permit application for an event called 'Crush Reloaded,' which was proposed for April 18-19, 2026, at the same location on the beach. On May 23, Bell informed Turner by letter that his application had been denied in accordance with city ordinances as outlined below: The feasibility of the event layout 'exactly' as Orange Crush 2025 cannot be determined at this time due to ongoing significant erosion of the beach and the possible further impact from the upcoming hurricane season. Tybee is not able to permit a three-day event, because the need for multiple days of law enforcement and emergency personnel is not feasible for reasons of resource availability. Turner had issued news releases and made other statements to the press indicating that the city manager and mayor had given 'verbal approval' for a three-day music festival in 2026. No verbal or written approval had been given for the event, and it is against the ordinance to promote any special event without a permit. Turner followed up asking for an appeal of the denied permit, indicating that he was willing to modify the duration and event layout, if needed, and had not intended to misrepresent any approvals. He also requested 'reasonable accommodations' in the application process given that he is '100% permanently and totally disabled veteran' and the trademark holder. Day of recap: 'This is just college students having a good time;' Orange Crush one-day crowd about 7,000 By the numbers: Fewer people attended Orange Crush, and police made fewer arrests 'The city would be in a better position to assess beach conditions following the most active part of the hurricane season,' Bell said in the memo. 'The City would then receive presentations from each applicant, and make a decision at that time, which could then be appealed.' Since both applications appeared to be incomplete and competing, Bell proposed that both Turner and Smalls withdraw their appeal requests in a letter sent to them on May 29, and spend time pulling together a final application for submission on Oct. 3. Smalls withdrew his permit, but Turner declined to withdraw his appeal, before eventually relenting. Bell said in an interview that they don't know what the condition of the beach will be like in April — last hurricane season took a chunk off the beach after back-to-back named storms in September. Tybee Island is slated for another beach renourishment, to dump about 1.5 million cubic yards of sand on the beach, but that project would not begin until the end of 2026.

Rock Legend's DNA Sample Is Being Sold for Way Less Than You Might Imagine
Rock Legend's DNA Sample Is Being Sold for Way Less Than You Might Imagine originally appeared on Parade. is selling his DNA in a truly one-of-a-kind collaboration. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Black Sabbath rocker had partnered with cult-favorite water brand Liquid Death to become its latest celebrity ambassador, agreeing to participate in a project that hopes to see fans "clone" the English musician and media personality using his DNA sample "once technology and federal law permit" so that they can "enjoy him for hundreds of years to come." While this brand deal may sound like something out of aBlack Mirror episode (or an extraordinarily late April Fools' Day joke), we can assure you it's as real as that KFC-flavored toothpaste we told you about not too long ago. Related: According to a June 17 announcement shared with Parade, the five-time Grammy winner drank 10 cans of Liquid Death Iced Tea and then had each can "sealed to preserve his DNA." Each of Liquid Death's "Ozzy DNA Cans" is stored in a lab-quality container signed by Osbourne, 76, himself. As one may suspect, getting ahold of the legendary musician's DNA won't be easy. Parade is told that there are only 10 of these cans in existence, so fans will have to battle it out online for the chance to snag one. Each can will be sold for $450 exclusively via the official campaign website (we were shocked to learn they weren't going for more, though they could if they ever hit the resale market). What fans do with the cans once they get them is up to them, though Osbourne did have one suggestion, sharing in a statement: "Clone me, you bastards." This is the latest–but certainly boldest–collaboration launched by the water company recognized by its tallboy-style packaging. Previous releases include an unforgettable ad with Kylie Kelce, a soap bundle with Dr. Squatch, an exclusive Nixon watch design, Zero skate decks, and even a Metallica tour merch drop. Next: Rock Legend's DNA Sample Is Being Sold for Way Less Than You Might Imagine first appeared on Parade on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.
