Her baby daughter’s name was Arya

TikTok chef Tineke “Tini” Younger announced the loss of one of her twin babies on Wednesday, Nov. 26.

“This isn’t the post I ever thought I would share once the twins came, unfortunately earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A),” Younger, 24, began in a Facebook post.

“We made it to almost 36 weeks we were so close to being done and getting the girls to term but I had a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl. Her twin sister is doing really good and breathing on her own,” her post continued.

“They both are so beautiful and Arya will always be celebrated, her sister will know she is a twin and has a beautiful twin sister. I will be taking a break, not sure for how long but I promise I will be back. I love you guys,” the post concluded.

In the black-and-white photos, Younger and her husband, Antoine Wright Jr., hold baby Arya alongside a doctor at the hospital.

Placenta abruption occurs when “the placenta partly or completely separates from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery. This can decrease or block the baby’s supply of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother,” per Mayo Clinic.

Placenta abruption can lead to restricted growth from not getting enough nutrients, not getting enough oxygen, premature birth, or stillbirth.

Younger announced her pregnancy in July.

Younger’s due date fell just ahead of Thanksgiving, a major day for the internet chef. Younger told PEOPLE exclusively in October that her twins were “perfect” and she had a plan for how to stay comfortable on the major holiday.

“I’m just going to bring a chair with me,” the influencer said of adapting her Thanksgiving prep during her pregnancy. “I already have a little kitchen stool, but [Thanksgiving] is my thing, especially around the holidays for content, everyone comes to my page for recipes. I’m going to push through, just sit on my chair because that’s my main thing.”
