Matty J and Laura Byrne love to share hilarious videos, photos, and adorable family moments with their daughters, but who do the girls resemble more as they grow up? Let’s investigate!

In 2019, the former reality stars welcomed their first daughter, Marlie-Mae and of course, the Bachieverse melted.

Now almost three years later, Marlie isn’t so little anymore and as her personality grows on Instagram, fans have also noticed that she looks more and more like one particular parent.

It’s undeniable that Marlie is a carbon copy of her dad Matty J thanks to their similar smiles and cheeky glints in their eyes. You could even say her bright and confident personality is like her dad’s too so, perhaps one day she will grow up to rule TikTok like her dad owns his Instagram reels?

As for Lola, who was born in February 2021 she’s earned the nickname “Melon” and it suits her superbly (good thinking mum!).

From her little dimples to her face shape and eyebrows, the youngster looks strikingly like her mother.

No matter who agrees or disagrees, everyone can agree on one thing – Marlie-Mae and Lola are sisters through and through as they share the same smiles and love to stick their tongues out for photos.

Take a look at our in-depth visual dissertation into who each Johnson-Byrne daughter looks most like out of their two loving parents.

From this side-by-side, it’s abundantly clear that Lola takes after her mum, and it turns out Laura calls her second daughter “Melon” for a feature they have in common.

“@matthewdavidjohnson just posted a photo of him as a kid alongside Marlie, because they’re literal twins.

“BUT there’s no denying where Lola got her melon from. 🧬,” she revealed.

Although some fans comment on Laura’s likeness to Marlie-Mae, but we believe Lola would beg to differ.

If we ever need a reminder of Marlie’s parentage, we will just have to look at this side-by-side comparison, which Matty J aptly captioned, “People always say Marlie-Mae is a dead ringer for me… personally I don’t see it ! 😂.”

Laura joked in the post’s comment section, “Guess I should cancel that paternity test.”
