TikTok chef Tineke “Tini” Younger reveals devastating loss after welcoming twins

Ryan Brennan | November 28, 2025

Tini Younger is opening up about a deeply personal and tragic childbirth experience. 

The 24-year-old cooking influencer, who appeared on the second season of “Next Level Chef” before taking her viral recipes to TikTok, took to Instagram to share that one of her twins died during childbirth. 

“This isn’t the post I ever thought I would share once the twins came,” she wrote in a caption on Nov. 26. “Unfortunately earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A).”

“We made it to almost 36 weeks,” Younger continued. “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.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a placental abruption “is a condition during pregnancy when the placenta separates from the uterus” before giving birth. 

It occurs in about 1% of all pregnancies and most commonly occurs later in the third trimester. 

Placental abruption symptoms include abdominal pain, uterine contractions that are longer and more intense than normal, uterine tenderness, backache, back pain and feeling the fetus move less. 

Despite the loss, Younger — whose real name is Tineke Younger — went on to reveal that Baby B is healthy. 

“Her twin sister is doing really good and breathing on her own,” she wrote. “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,” she added. 

Some of her celebrity friends and former colleagues shared their condolences in the comment section. 

“Sending all our love,” Gordon Ramsey, one of the hosts of “Next Level Chef,” wrote.

“So sorry Tini. So many of us are crying with you and for you tonight,” added fitness influencer Makayla Thomas. 

“I’m so sorry! Parents should never have to bury their child. Praying comfort and strength for y’all in the days ahead,” reality star Jill Dillard commented. 

“PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! So sorry to hear this. Sending all the positive energy and love to you and your family,” former “Next Level Chef” contestant Mada Mada Abdelhamid added. 

Tini Younger announced she was expecting twins in June

Younger’s tragic loss ends what has been a very busy year for the TikTok chef. 

Aside from managing her massive social media following, which includes more than 12 million followers on TikTok, Younger tied the knot with her husband Antoine Wright Jr. on Nov. 12, 2024. 

Seven months later, the couple revealed that they were expecting twins

“Putting a bun(s) in the oven,” Younger wrote in the caption of a June 20 video that showed her and her husband making two buns — and they made a ton of puns and baby references throughout the video.

When she opened the oven at the end, a sign read, “2 buns in the oven. 2025.” 

“2 sous chefs on the way,” she wrote in the caption of a second post on June 24. 

On July 4, the Younger shared a video of the couple’s beach-themed gender reveal, which showed them opening a box full of pink balloons before two clouds of pink dust filled the air. 

Younger’s heartbreaking update on Nov. 26 came one day before Thanksgiving — and two weeks after they celebrated their first anniversary
