Not all celebrities are comfortable on camera, valuing their privacy over things. Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is known to keep his relationship private, not letting anyone in on any detail. His relationship with his sisters, however, is much more public. The 28-year-old has often shared photos about his sisters, which includes his twin sister.

Davis’ twin sister, who has been a part of his occasional Instagram posts, seems to be a private person like her brother. Let’s take a look at Davis and his sister, and how their relationship works.

As mentioned above, Davis‘ sister Antoinette is not hidden away from the world, her photos are available on Davis’ profile. She has an Instagram account (@mooka_pooka), which is a private account with zero followers. Moreover, Antoinette only follows two people, the account is apparently unused.

Though Davis had given her a shoutout early on, his twin has maintained her privacy on social media.

“I will probably use this account for something eventually,” the bio reads, which indicated that Antoinette barely logs in to the private account. Irrespective of that, Davis has not shied away from tagging his sister on his Instagram posts. As most celebrities have private accounts, it is possible that Davis and his family operate via completely different handles.

Davis’ posts about his twin are mostly proud and cheer posts, hyping up his twin.

Reports also suggest that Antoinette is around a minute older than Davis, and often helped the eight-time NBA All-Star with his schoolwork and studies. She also has a son, reportedly, and is single for now.

What is Antoinette Davis’ and brother Anthony Davis’ height difference?

Now, Antoinette is probably not an athlete, and certainly not a basketball player. While Davis towers at 6’10, Antoinette is apparently 5’8. It’s a huge height difference between the twins, which might be surprising for a few fans.

Anthony Davis and Antoinette Davis’s Relationship

Having looked at their relationship just via social media posts, the two seem extremely close. Davis seems to love his sister a lot, always celebrating her little things on his account. While he often only posts about the teams, basketball, or gaming, his sister is one of the few personal topics that has made its way to his public profile.

Furthermore, Antoinette apparently kept a check on Davis’ school work and more for him as he traveled and missed things for shoots and practices. This has only strengthened their relationship, Davis having referred to her as his other half in the past.
