10 celebrity couples in which the spouses look alike

Scientists, psychologists and physiognomists claim that couples in love become a mirror image of each other when they live together for a long time. Over the years, they adopt habits, copy each other's gestures and facial expressions, begin to speak in the same tone, and express their emotions in the same way. But the main reason for the similarity of the chosen ones is that they choose a life partner that best suits their appearance. There is a version that external similarity can neutralize mistrust - when a person is similar to us, we open up to him more. Let's see which of the stars “trusted” their betrothed the most.

Dmitry Kharatyan and Marina Maiko

They have been together for more than 30 years and they themselves admit that they have long grown into each other. It is impossible to imagine them apart and one might think that they are brother and sister - they are so similar. Dmitry and Marina met in 1989, when he was already a divorced famous artist, and she was a young holder of the title “Miss Tiraspol”. The girl had to wait several years for a marriage proposal, and the on-screen womanizer was not in a hurry to get married a second time. One day, Marina offered to separate, and Dmitry agreed. At this stage, the guys realized that they could not live without each other. Then everything goes according to the scenario: wedding, birth of a son and a happy married life.

Dad is a positive hero

Of course, under such circumstances, the girl wants her chosen one to be like her dad: honest and able to care. She sees in dad all the positive qualities that are needed for life. But in this case, the search may drag on for many years, since finding a copy of the pope is not an easy task. It is also worth considering that people already receive a certain set of positive qualities when they are in a couple: they learn from their mistakes, try to give in, and seek a compromise. Nobody gets a ready-made perfect person.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter

The charismatic actor has an undeniable talent for transformation, and he can look like anyone. But in his personal life, he did not split hairs and adapt; he chose as his companion a girl who looks like Benedict himself. Sophie Hunter is an actress and opera director. Her list includes productions of operas by Mozart, Beethoven, and Benjamin Britten. The two intellectuals communicated on a friendly basis for a long time and did not immediately realize that they were made for each other. Maybe that's why they began to advertise their romantic relationship. You can’t hide from gossipers, and in 2014, notes appeared in the press about the sudden engagement of a secretive couple. Now the couple has two sons and great prospects for a long life together.

Kirill Safonov and Sasha Savelyeva

It seemed that they could not be together: he had already been married, was torn between Russia and Israel and often faced life’s difficulties, and she, young and unburdened by anything, quickly fell into the right wave and enjoyed fame in the group “Factory” " But as Kirill and Alexandra admit: “We were just looking for each other for a long time.” The first meeting was casual, in a karaoke bar. But everything random often becomes fateful. Safonov said in an interview that almost from the first days of their acquaintance he knew: “I want Sasha to become my wife.” She reciprocated. Since March 2019, their family has expanded, and now son Leon looks like either dad or mom.

It's written on the face how long the couple will be together

Another of our experts, physiognomist, author of the Transfacing system, international expert in visual psychodiagnostics Leonid Zolin, is confident that there is a direct relationship between the similarity or dissimilarity of the facial structures of partners and the duration of their relationship. “Statistics say that 51% of marriages will be divorced. At least another 30% of couples will continue to live together, but their relationship can hardly be called happy. Only 20% of families live, finding the strength for mutual understanding and development,” recalls Zolin and draws very interesting conclusions about the chances of similar or dissimilar spouses to get into one group or another.

Short-term relationships People with completely different facial structures simply do not get along with each other.

Pseudo-stable relationships ending in a sudden break The similarity of the faces of the partners at the very beginning of the relationship indicates the total similarity of their characters. Which sooner or later leads to competition, conflict of interests and separation.

Long-term unions When meeting, these partners show some (far from complete) similarities in appearance; they also have dissimilar features. Over time, a balance is established in such families—the characters and facial structures are adjusted.”

We also asked Leonid Zolin to comment on the features of the facial structures of 5 star pairs that are similar to each other in order to make the explanations clearer. You will find these examples in our photo gallery.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé

One of the most powerful couples in show business sings and raps about their relationship. Some of them give reason to doubt the family idyll. Then the pop diva records an entire album in which she talks about her husband’s infidelities and describes some of his favorites in the tracks. Then the rapper repents in his response album and asks for forgiveness. And this has been going on for a considerable 18 years. Everything is like in the Russian proverb “darlings scold, only amuse themselves.” Eight-year-old baby Blue and three-year-old twins - boy Sir and girl Rumi - are evidence that mom and dad are doing well.

What do brothers have to do with this?

More recently, evolutionary theory has taken a new twist. Professor at Northumbria University

Tamsina Saxton decided to test the extent to which the theory that people tend to choose partners who are similar to their parents applies to siblings.

Saxton's study involved 32 volunteers aged 19-40 who were asked to send photos of their brothers and real-life partners. In addition to these photographs, the researchers took 48 photographs of brothers and partners of public figures.

Volunteers were asked to choose from photographs of men who were most similar to each other, but they had no idea who was who in the photographs. As a result, a third of the participants indicated the partner of one or another girl as most similar to her brother. After this, another similar study was conducted, in which about 27% of participants also indicated the brother of a girl as most similar to her partner.

Maxim Lagashkin and Ekaterina Stulova

They have been faithful to each other since their student days and even then they did not think long about marriage. Maxim almost immediately announced: “Let's get married! I think this issue needs to be closed quickly; it’s better not to use your brains here.” In 1996, the couple quietly signed in the registry office. The student marriage turned out to be strong. Actors often work together on stage and in films, but love lines in cinema do not intersect. Having sent their eldest son Savva to study in the UK, the young parents are now thinking about what kind of education to give their youngest son Luka.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen

One of the highest paid models in the world, life with Leonardo DiCaprio (whom she does not resemble in appearance) did not work out, although they dated for five years. But her marriage to football player Brady, with whom Bündchen has the same facial type, has already given her two children. But they also had difficult times. Two years ago, Giselle wrote a note to her husband that she was unhappy in her marriage; she felt that Tom did not devote any time to his family, disappearing at games and practices. The couple heard each other and saved the marriage.

Alexey Kravchenko and Evgeny Mironov

Such popular theater and film actors as Alexey Kravchenko and Evgeny Mironov are also similar to each other. There is a three-year age difference between the men. Both are in great demand and represent the top twenty best Russian actors. Each has more than 40 film works to his credit.

However, despite the external similarity, these celebrities get different roles. Mironov brings to the screen more thoughtful, romantically or patriotically minded characters. The viewer especially remembered his work in the film “The Idiot.” Kravchenko became famous thanks to his role as a “tough guy” in detective series and action films.

Vladimir Presnyakov and Natalya Podolskaya

In June, the couple celebrated three holidays at once: fifteen years since they met, the tenth wedding anniversary and the fifth anniversary of the birth of their son. “This is unrealistic, but before him I had never met people like me,” Natalya is surprised. “We think alike, we speak alike.” Vladimir echoes: “When we met, I began to choke, as if someone had hit me in the head with a frying pan. Surely this is a blow from an angel. It was love!"

Cash Warren and Jessica Alba

She preferred older men until she met Warren, almost her own age (two years is not an age difference). Many people began to say that Jessica’s new boyfriend is very similar to her father. And this is true, despite the fact that the actress’s father is African-American. They also said that Jessica herself is the spitting image of Cash's sister. Don't try to figure out who, to whom and how. There the jester will break his head - everyone is alike. This happy marriage produced three charming children, whose similarity is constantly being debated. On mom? On dad? To grandfather? To your aunt?

Kirill Grebenshchikov and Alexander Petrov

Journalists from popular publications have repeatedly noted the external resemblance of Kirill Grebenshchikov to Alexander Petrov. Despite their more than ten-year age difference, these famous theater and film actors are easy to confuse with each other. TV viewers also could not help but notice the similarity of these dark-haired men with the same fashionable hairstyle.

Fame came to Petrov after he appeared on the screen as Grisha Izmailov, the hero of the comedy-detective series “Policeman from Rublyovka.” The TV viewer fell in love with an attractive guy who cared about the fate of his sister, who often appeared in the frame with a naked torso.

Kirill Grebenshchikov is known to viewers from many popular films: “The Barber of Siberia”, “A Place in the Sun”, “The Last Reproduction”. The actor was also loved by fans of the top-rated melodrama “Seraphim the Beautiful,” in which he played the role of mechanic Zorin.

There is no family connection between Petrov and Grebenshchikov; the external similarity of these stars is nothing more than a coincidence. The most attentive TV viewers know how to unmistakably distinguish one actor from another: the star of “Policeman from Rublyovka” has a charming dimple on his chin, which the village boy Viktor Zorin cannot boast of.

Anton and Victoria Makarsky

Well, God himself sent them to be similar. The beautiful Makarsky family is pious and believing. This was facilitated not only by life experience, but also by the belief that their first child appeared with the blessing of the Almighty, because the couple in love had been begging for their first baby for many years. Now the Makarsky family is a harmonious quartet of artist-parents and two children, Maria and Ivan.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin

Their story began in 2009, from that moment they experienced friendship, love, and loud breakups. And for the last few years they have been simply inseparable. Moreover, all this time they continuously demonstrate their tender feelings. Young, beautiful, fair-haired and at the same time very similar lovers are drowning in love and delighting fans with joint touching photos and videos.

Maxim Belborodov and Alexey Serebryakov

A family resemblance is observed in another pair of stars - Maxim Belborodov and Alexei Serebryakov. Viewers agree that the first could well be the son of the second. Maxim is very reminiscent of Serebryakov in his youth. He has the same face shape, height, hair color.

The similarity of these celebrities was noted by others thanks to the film “The Wall” (2016), in which the actors starred together. Thanks to this film, TV viewers had the opportunity not only to learn the history of Smolensk during the Russian-Polish War, but also to compare two strikingly similar stars.
