Twins can have different fathers if the mother slept with 2 guys in the time period she can get pregnant. Look it up, it is true. If she slept with one guy and then slept with another guy on the same day or soon after and she was in her fertile stage then yes it is possible for twins to have two different fathers but very rare.
Here is an article about this case:
Twins by Different Fathers
The rarest form of twin births is called
Heteropaternal Superfecundation.
This occurs when an egg is released,
even though another egg has been fertilized.
If the second egg is fertilized by another man's sperm, these fetuses would be no closer genetically than half siblings.

Generally speaking, no. But it is possible. It can only happen if a woman has sex with 2 different men within about 3 (maybe up to 5) days of each other *and* if she ovulates twice that cycle *and* each of the men is fertile *and* the 2 eggs are fertilized by sperm from the two different men. It's a very long shot, but it has been known to happen.

there is no way that could happen as twin( identical) are from same egg and fraternal are from 2 separate eggs released at the same time at conception

If they are fraternal and the mother had sex within a couple of days of each other, it is possible as fraternals come from different eggs with seperate sperm. It would be rare but possible

This would only be possible if they were fraternal twins. Meaning that they came from two separate eggs.

No, but in rare circumstances it has been known for siamese twins to have different mothers.
