Unheard of and totally hilarious. In that case they wouldn't be twins anyway.

Twins
Identical twins you release one egg, then only one sperm can fertile
Not Identical
Now some women off and on will release two eggs normally one from each ovaries. At this point if both eggs are meet with sperm you will have twins "not identical" but still called twins. If the women have sex with more then one male~ YES! it can and does happen. that is why they always test both baby's when it comes down to who's the daddy.

Twins with Different Fathers
by Mark Perloe, MD
Can a woman become pregnant by two different men at the same time? That is, can she carry two babies, each from a different man, at the same time?
Yes. If she ovulates and releases two eggs in the same months and also is exposed to sperm from two men, she can get pregnant with twins, one fathered by each man. There is no physical problem related to carrying pregnancies fathered by different men.

Theoretically it is possible. When dizygotic twinning occurs, there are two eggs released and each one is fertilized by a different sperm. So, if the mother had sex with 2 different men during the time of ovulation, they could each have a different biological father.
Monozygotic twins, on the other hand, result when one egg is released, is fertilized and then it splits. These become identical twins.

Yes, it is. It's rare, but it happens. The woman would have to ovulate two eggs (which is not unusual) and have sex with two different guys in a very short period of time. A few years ago, I remember reading about a woman who gave birth to twins ... one white and one black. When twins are conceived this way (from two eggs), they are not identical, but rather fraternal.
Here are some links on it:

YES, it is possible for fraternal(2 eggs,2 sperm) twins, but not identical(1 egg, 1 sperm, splits).

there not twins but the answer is yes. there was one case many years ago where the girl slept with two men and it so happened that she had 2 eggs in her uterus and each man fertilized one of the eggs. and yes she carried both of them to term and delivered 2 healthy babies. and as i recall both of those males had to pay child support for their own kid.

On Days of Our Lives it is. Sami right now may have that. In real life I think that only can be possilbe if you have 2 uteruses... which is like 1 in a million or something like that
