How cool is that?

April 15, 2026 by Staff Writer

Baby, dad and granddad have something special in common

Three generations sharing the same birthday. That must be kind of rare, right? According to the census, it’s a 1 in 130,000 chance. 

Right here in New Bedford, we have a new one. Shania Dos Santos Duarte gave birth to Liliana, 9 lbs., 3 oz., on 4/5/26, the same birthday as her father, Michael, and his father, Shawn. 

Happy Birthday to all of you!

Now that’s a happy Easter!

Proud grandfather, Shawn Duarte, holds his new granddaughter, Liliana, while proud dad, Michael Duarte, also basks in the glory after Shania Dos Santos Duarte gave birth to Liliana, 9 lbs, 3 oz., on 4/5/26, the same birthday as her father and grandfather. Submitted photo.
