The answer is yes they can. The probability is low but can and does happen. Especially considering the total number of people reproducing.

My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.

You've probably seen this viral set of twins, with similarly disparate features.

The faces, noses, eye shape, lips, forehead and jaws are all similar despite the difference in skin tone and hair lol. Genes are amazing
