Nancy Grace Delights Fans with Rare Family Photo — and One Surprising Detail

Nancy Grace warmed hearts across social media this week after sharing a rare family photo — and fans couldn’t help but notice one surprising detail: her son’s impressive height.

On November 2, 2025, the veteran legal commentator posted an autumn snapshot with her 18-year-old twins, John David and Lucy Elizabeth, during their annual trip to Burt’s Pumpkin Patch. Surrounded by golden leaves and bright orange pumpkins, John David stood between his mother and sister, towering over both. Grace captioned the photo:

“Yearly Trek to Burt’s Pumpkin Patch for pumpkins and boiled peanuts! Have a great Sunday!!”

Within minutes, the comments section filled with affection and amusement.
“He’s twice your height!” one fan joked.
Another teased, “Nancy, what are you feeding that boy?!”

Longtime followers also marveled at how quickly the twins have grown, recalling when Grace first spoke about them as infants on national television.

Just days earlier, she had celebrated their 18th birthday with an emotional throwback photo on Facebook, writing:

“MY MIRACLE BABIES! ONCE IN A LIFETIME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AWESOME AND MINIME!!!”

John David and Lucy Elizabeth were born on November 4, 2007, arriving prematurely when Grace was 48. Their birth followed a complicated pregnancy that nearly claimed her life. Only a week later, she suffered a severe pulmonary embolism — a blood clot in her lungs — and spent months recovering in a wheelchair.

Her husband, David Linch, told People at the time that she was “doing pretty doggone good,” though Grace later admitted how close she had come to death. The experience, she has said, forever changed her outlook.

“Before I had the babies, I never really let myself love 100%,” she once shared. “Lucy and John David changed all that.”

Now, eighteen years later, her “miracle babies” are grown, healthy, and thriving — and fans couldn’t be happier to celebrate the milestone with her.
