A rare family photo from Nancy Grace sent her followers into a frenzy — not just for the sweet family moment, but because of one jaw-dropping detail: her son’s towering height.
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, journalist Nancy Grace posted a rare Instagram photo featuring her 18-year-old twins, John David and Lucy Elizabeth. Taken during a visit to Burt’s Pumpkin Patch, the image showed the trio standing on a trail surrounded by trees and fall colors.
John David stood between his sister and mother, noticeably taller than both. Grace captioned the photo, “Yearly Trek to Burt’s Pumpkin Patch for pumpkins and boiled peanuts! Have a great Sunday!!”

The comments rolled in fast. Fans wrote things like, “Oh my goodness he’s so tall! Beautiful family!” and “holy moly he’s twice your height!” One person exclaimed, “Wow, those are the twins. One of them is super tall.”
Others were stunned by how much time had passed, noting how grown-up the twins looked. One commenter gushed, “OMG Nancy, what are you feeding your son? The twins grew up so beautifully 😍 God bless them,” while another said, “Wow, how did they grow so fast?? Our twins will be 32 and it flew by!!”

Just days earlier, Grace had taken to Facebook to mark a major milestone: her twins turning 18. She posted a baby photo of them with the caption, “MY MIRACLE BABIES! ONCE IN A LIFETIME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AWESOME AND MINIME!!!”
John David and Lucy Elizabeth were born on November 4, 2007. Grace gave birth prematurely at age 48 after facing several complications during pregnancy.
A Dangerous Health Scare After Delivery
A week after the twins’ birth, Grace suffered a blood clot in her lungs, requiring urgent medical care. Her husband, David Linch, told People at the time she was “doing pretty doggone good” after beginning treatment.
In later interviews, Grace revealed she’d spent months in a wheelchair but chose not to share the full extent of her struggles with viewers. On the morning of November 4, she collapsed from shortness of breath and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors discovered her lungs were filled with fluid.
