HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WJW) — One of the most famous couples in country music continues to live on not only through their music but also with two new babies born at the same hospital on the same day.
On April 10, a June Carter Clark was reportedly born just down the hall from Johnny Cash Davis at Huntsville Hospital in Alabama.
The mothers of the babies, Sophie Clark, 22, and Nicole Davis, 44, spoke with FOX Television Stations explaining they had to meet one another once hospital workers told them about the coincidence.

“I was so excited when I heard,” Sophie told FOX. “I told my husband and family that I had to go find this baby.”
Both moms said the names were selected partly in homage to the famous musicians, but they were also family names.
While the two families had never met before, they told FOX they’ll be staying in touch.
“We plan to take the babies to Nashville to get some pictures at the Grand Ole Opry, where the real Johnny and June met,” Sophie said. “These sweet babies will have a story to share forever now.”
