Careers
editMilly and Becky were discovered when they were picked out of the audience by one of the executive producers of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody at a live taping of the show.[1][2] They appeared in a total seven episodes of the show and then appeared in one episode of the spin-off The Suite Life on Deck in March 2010.
The twins starred as the main roles in the film Legally Blondes, which was released direct-to-DVD on 28 April 2009 as a sequel to Legally Blonde.[3] They sang "Lucky Girl" for the film.[1] Legally Blondes was produced by Reese Witherspoon, the star of the original Legally Blonde. They starred in a pilot episode for Suburban Legends which was not picked up as a series ultimately.
Milly and Becky were part of an all-girl group called The Rosso Sisters, along with their sisters, Georgina and Lola. Their eldest sister, Bianca Rosso did not join the group. They were signed by Virgin Records on the spot by Steve Barnett[4] and were managed by Paul Kevin Jonas Sr., the father of the Jonas Brothers. In 2015, they announced on their Facebook and Instagram accounts the disbandment of their group due to the death of their mother[5] and have since retired from the entertainment industry.

We are so incredibly heartbroken & devastated that our beautiful mom Anthea passed away after fighting an extremely tough battle with pancreatic cancer. She was our best friend and inspiration, & the most caring, loving, selfless, kind hearted person we could ever imagine. After much thought & consideration, we have decided not to carry on with our girl group and making music, & to close this chapter in our lives, even though it was just the beginning and we hadn't released music in the US yet. We're soo sorry to anyone we're disappointing, but during these extremely difficult past few months, our hopes and dreams for the future have changed. We'll never forget the amazing memories we made as a music group while it lasted, & we're so happy we had the chance to meet & talk to such genuinely sweet and supportive fans like you guys. Thank u soo much to all of you who have ever written us a nice message, sent us well wishes, prayed for us or our mom, or supported us in some way. We are so grateful. We love you❤️.
