yes it is very rare but it can happen
Among fraternal twins, in rare cases, the eggs are fertilized at different times with two or more acts of sexual intercourse, either within one menstrual cycle (superfecundation) or, even more rarely, later on in the pregnancy (superfetation). This can lead to the possibility of a woman carrying fraternal twins with different fathers (that is, half-siblings). This phenomenon is known as heteropaternal superfecundation. One 1992 study estimates that the frequency of heteropaternal superfecundation among dizygotic twins whose parents were involved in paternity suits was approximately 2.4%; see the references section, below, for more details.

I guess it may be possible. Fraternal twins come from two different eggs...meaning when the woman ovulated she released two eggs. That means that two different sperm must fertilize the eggs in order for twins to occur...so I guess it could be sperm from two different men. Man...I am sure glad I don't have a soap-opera life!!!

Yes, it could be possible because when a woman has fraternal twins two different eggs are fertilized.
It would be very rare for this to happen, of course, but it could happen.
Soap operas....uggghhh

yes, it is possible...some women release more that one egg at a time and that's one of the ways twins come to be...the 2 separate eggs can be fertilized by 2 different sperm.

Yes it can. They'd have to be faternal twins (two eggs two sperms) and not identacial twins (one egg two sperm and the egg divids). I've seen one before where the mother was white and one of the babies father was white and the father of the other baby was black.
