Influencer Tineke “Tini” Younger has returned to social media two months after the death of one of her twin baby girls.
“I’ll start by saying thank you to everyone that sent really nice messages,” Younger, 24, began in a lengthy video announcing her return on Monday, February 2. “I want to thank everyone for sending all the nice comments [and] messages. I’m very appreciative of that.”
The social media personality noted that she’s also received messages from people who have experienced a similar loss. Additionally, she thanked the friends and family members who came to visit her and husband Antoine Wright Jr. after their baby’s death.
“Obviously, um, things have not been easy, losing one of my twins, being postpartum, and then also having to take care of my surviving daughter, and then her being an identical twin as well,” Younger continued. “And then also, I’ve just had complications. I’ve had complications, literally, like, after birth. I had postpartum preeclampsia, and I had to go on the magnesium drip. I also, after the girls were born, I didn’t sleep for four days straight, so it was terrible.”

Younger announced the death of her daughter Arya (a.k.a. Baby A) via Instagram in November 2025.
“This isn’t the post I ever thought I would share once the twins came. Unfortunately, earlier this week, we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A),” she wrote alongside photos of Arya’s twin, known as Baby L (and Baby B) online.
Younger continued, “We made it to almost 36 weeks. We were so close to being done and getting the girls to term, but I had a placenta abruption, and we lost our sweet girl. Her twin sister is doing really good and breathing on her own. They both are so beautiful, and Arya will always be celebrated, her sister will know she is a twin and has a beautiful twin sister. I will be taking a break, not sure for how long, but I promise I will be back. I love you guys❤️.”
In her latest video, Younger reminded critics that she is not to blame for Arya’s death.
“I want to thank everyone that stuck up for me. I’ve had some pretty distasteful videos made of me, comments made of me and of my daughter and my family, so I just want to say a big thanks to everyone that stuck up for me,” she said, later adding, “I also want to emphasize the placenta abruption was not my fault. I saw a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, it’s because she was overworking herself by filming videos and doing this.’ It was not my fault. That’s, unfortunately, why twins are high-risk.”
Younger shared a few other updates, telling fans that she and Wright put a memorial for Arya in their room and that they always talk to Baby L about her sister. Additionally, she told viewers that she would not be showing Baby L’s face online or sharing her real name to protect her privacy.

Younger previously shared a brief update on her family in early January.
“Just wanted to hop on socials real quick and just let everyone know L (baby b) is doing good, we love her so much,” she wrote via Instagram. “We remind her everyday about Arya, and Arya definitely plays with her sister in her dreams. L loves to smile in her sleep❤️👼🏽.”
Younger concluded, “I’m not sure when I will be back, I’m still emotionally and physically trying to heal, I’ve had some complications during my postpartum which I’m still trying to recover from. Thank you to everyone who sends love🫶🏼.”
