It sounds like a soap opera plot (and a little research revealed that it actually was, on Days of Our Lives), but in "real life", a young woman in Brazil gave birth to twins who had two different fathers.
I'm glad that the Daily Mail is kind enough to explain how it's accomplished, right there in the headline.
There's even a scientific term for it: heteroparental superfecundation.
There are a lot of other simpler terms for it, too. But I will leave that to my readers as an exercise.
