Too much brotherly love??

I have to Ds, they have 16 months between them. The oldest being 3 and a bit.
They go to the same nursery (same days but different rooms although they do communicate).
They always do everything together (I can't leave one at home while I go something Ruth the other, DP works really long hours so no use during the week and we want family time at the weekends).
Same play dates, friends etc...
To the extent that Ds1 runs around ds2 in the playground screaming "I love you always, always, always" in his cutest voice and catches DS2 for a big cuddle and lots if giggles. And DS2 being completely lost without DS1, earlier ds1 was in the loo and DS2 was looking very sad saying DS1 name and "gone?".
I'm just not sure their relationship is healthy? They do play with other children at nursery but still they clearly need each other to be be at their happiest. And while it is nice to see so much love between them two, I can't help but worry maybe I should separate them...
Any experience? Ideas?

My brothers (now 21 and 23) were like this. Not now, they aref inally getting over the complete hatred of each other. Dont do anything it's lovely.

Let them be, when they are in different classes at school they will spend time apart. Sounds lovely, mine fight too much.

Really? Maybe I worry too much then...
Still, Im planning to start music classes for DS1 once a week (drop him for 45 mins)... So that might encourage a bit more independence.... Or distress..!! Will see...
