Aussie influencer Veruca Salt has given birth to twins just two years after the tragic death of her son Cash.

Salt shared images from a Gold Coast hospital as she nursed the newborns, who continued to undergo treatment.

She named the twins Storm and Zion, revealing they had been born on September 26.

“I’m so in love with them,” the mother captioned one of the images, resting the babies in her arms as they slept.

Another image depicted Salt — real name Kimberley Hartley — getting a manicure from her hospital bed.

“What girl u know getting a French tip during labour 🤩,” she added.

Salt announced her pregnancy in March after spending time in the US, but dismissed claims her ex-husband was the father.

The former pair had married in Las Vegas two weeks after meeting, splitting in December 2025 following two months of marriage.

Salt moved back to Australia in April.

The content creator, who boasts 608,000 Instagram followers, suggested she had been seeing two men casually when conception occurred.

“As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I did tell both of them . . . it’s not really been going well,” she said earlier this year.

“In the world of ancestry.com, lying about the paternity of your children is a pretty bad idea. That’s not really something I’m down to do.”

Salt later revealed a man named “Charles” was the biological father of the newborns.

In 2024, the mother experienced immense loss when her first born Cash died from SIDS at just six weeks old.

Following her recent blessing, friends and followers expressed their well-wishes.

“God really did just say, okay you lost an angel, but I’ll bless you with two 👼,” one person wrote.

Fellow creator Mikaela Testa added: “AHHHHHHHHH 😍 they’re so beautiful, proud of you mama! 🥹❤️ Congratulations!!!”

Earlier this month, Salt shared vision of her backyard baby shower where she was surrounded by loved ones, serving cold beverages featuring the words “Ready to pop”.
