15 Celebrity Couples Who Actually Look Like Siblings
Though people say that opposites attract, this may not be the case. According to science, we are attracted to people who look like us. Statistician Emma Pierson studied the matches made with eHarmony and found that people are overwhelmingly more likely to meet up with (and eventually marry) people who look like them than people who don't. People who are tall were more likely to end up with tall people. Even people with alliterative names are 12% more likely to end up together which totally explains Kim and Kanye. According to these studies, people are much more narcissistic when it comes to choosing a mate than they'd care to admit.
To make matters even weirder, studies have also proven that people are much more likely to be attracted to people who look bare a resemblance to their own parents. However, this is only the case when the resemblance is unconscious which basically means that they don't even realize that these people they are attracted to look anything like their parents. So it's not totally creepy. In many cases, the longer two people are in a relationship together, the more they actually begin to look similar to each other. In the end, couples who have similar facial features are generally happier together even if they are a little narcissistic. Here are the celebrity couples who look so similar that they could be siblings.
15 Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady make one of the most gorgeous couples ever. They're both so good-looking that it's actually intimidating. The two of them are totally perfect together not only because they're insanely hot but because they both have bizarre and rigorous diets. 80% of their diet is organic vegetables and the rest is whole grains and lean meat. They don't touch sugar, flour, dairy or coffee and they don't eat tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms or eggplants because they're not anti-inflammatory. Basically, a tomato is dessert for them. On their cheat days, they eat kale and quinoa. The two also share the same strong facial bone structures, broad noses, and high cheekbones which make them look eerily similar. Buy hey, a couple who shares a crazy diet together stays together.
14 Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber
Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere were once People Magazine's Sexiest Couple Alive in 1993 but in 2017, Crawford and Rande Gerber are an even better looking couple and a happily married one at that. Not only is the supermodel's husband a total hunk, he is also George Clooney's business partner and the two co-founded the tequila company Casamigos which recently sold for $1 billion. Not too shabby. They're gorgeous, rich, in love, and friends with George Clooney. Crawford and Gerber have been married since 1998 and they have two children together, Presley and Kaia who, of course, are both models. Not only are the two totally in love and also share an appreciation for tequila, they also look remarkably similar with their dark features and flawless facial symmetry.
13 David and Victoria Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham have had one of the longest lasting relationships, at least when it comes to celebrities. The two have been together for a solid 18 years which is longer than most celebrity relationships. Maybe they've been able to stay together for so long because they're so similar: they have incredibly high cheekbones, they're both fit and slim, and they both dress similarly too! Though the two have both admitted that they have been through some tough times in their marriage (rumors of past infidelities have found their way into the tabloids for years), they both say that they have gotten through all of it together and their relationship is stronger than ever because of it. Unlike most Hollywood relationships, these two have decided to stick it out even when it's tough.
12 Kiera Knightley and James Righton
Kiera Knightley started dating James Righton back in 2011 and the two were married in 2016 and they have a daughter named Edie. The Pirates of the Caribbean actress is known for her sharp facial features and flawless bone structure and Righton does not quite measure up in that department (few do). However, the two both have dark hair and thick eyebrows which make them look similar enough to be mistaken for siblings. Righton is not an actor like his famous wife, instead, he's a musician and he was a part of the band Klaxons before they disbanded in 2015. He is now a part of the band Shock Machine. Not only is their daughter going to have a knack for acting like her mom but she may be a musician as well like her dad. This ultra-talented couple is a match made in heaven.
11 Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard
Maggie Gyllenhaal may already have a brother but her husband Peter Sarsgaard could easily pass for her sibling as well. The two initially met through her little bro, Jake Gyllenhaal, who is a longtime friend of Sarsgaard. They began a relationship in 2002 and were married in 2009 in Italy. They have two daughters together, Ramona and Gloria. Though the Dark Knight actress is a bit taller than her husband, the look remarkably similar--much more similar than Maggie and Jake who you may not even think they're related if you didn't know they shared a last name. Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard are also both involved in politics and charity work and they're both successful actors who look great on the red carpet together. They have been together for 15 years which is pretty impressive in Hollywood.
10 Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder
Before Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder got together, they were both in high-profile relationships with other people. Somerhalder was in a three-year relationship with his Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev and Reed was married to American Idol alum Paul McDonald. Reed was officially divorced from McDonald in 2015 and she was engaged to Somerhalder a few months later after they had been dating since 2014. They were married later in 2015 and she is currently pregnant with their first child. Talk about a whirlwind romance! Not only do the two look a lot alike with their similar dark features but they have both played vampires! Somerhalder played the vampire Damon in Vampire Diaries and Reed played Rosalie in the Twilight movies. That alone makes them totally perfect for each other.
9 Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
Speaking of vampires, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were the original vampire-playing actors who coupled up way before Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder. Though the couple broke up years ago, they are both desperately trying to put the relationship (and campy movie franchise) behind them. Pattinson is now with FKA Twigs and Stewart just moved in with girlfriend Stella Maxwell. However, back when these two were together, they looked pretty similar and even wore similar clothing (even after they broke up, the two still have similar styles and haircuts). With their sharp features and pale white skin, these two looked more like brother and sister than boyfriend and girlfriend, and they may have acted like it too since there are still many people who believe that their relationship was faked in order to get publicity for the Twilight movies.
8 Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak
Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak just got married in 2017 but they have been together for 14 years. The Big Bang Theory actor came out publicly in 2012 and noted that he had been in a relationship for ten years at the time. Five years later, they were married. The two look so much alike mostly because of their long faces and similar hairlines but they also share a love for dogs. They were originally set up by two of their friends so their first date was a blind date at a karaoke bar. Even though Parsons hates karaoke, Spiewak sang Cher's "I Found Someone" which was very fitting for the date since the two have been together ever since. The two also started a production company together called That's Wonderful Productions and the happy couple is producing a new TV show together.
7 Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrall
Kelly Osbourne and her former fiancé, Luke Worrall have been broken up for years now but they sure did look alike while they were together. The heavily bleached blonde hair with long bangs was not a look that suited either of them but they both sported the similar hairstyles proudly. This couple, however, was not meant to be and Osbourne called him "the biggest piece of s***” on Twitter and also claimed that he hooked up with "100s of girls" while trying to get back together with her. Worrall who is a model and, not surprisingly, a DJ, has denied these accusations but Osbourne wasn't having it. She went to Twitter again to slam her ex, writing: "darling ur pretty face will only get you so far because u don't have the brains to back it up.” Saying that he has a pretty face was pretty generous of her though maybe he'd look a little better once he ditched the bleached Bieber cut.
6 Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt
All hail the reigning king and queen of chunky highlights and sharp facial bone structures. It's hard to believe that Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt were engaged back in 1996 but they were a match made in heaven. The two met while filming Seven in 1994 and were engaged in 1996 but the two broke up in 1997. At the time, the two broke up because they took marriage very seriously and did not want to get into a marriage that may have ended in divorce. However, both ended up getting divorced eventually: Paltrow divorced Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Pitt was recently divorced from Angelina Jolie. Though Paltrow has recently said that there is absolutely no chance that the two will get back together, they were a beautiful couple while they were together. We will also never be able to forgive or forget those matching haircuts.
5 Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid
Though Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid looked a lot a like, it wasn't enough to keep them together, at least not at first. Cox has said that their split was "brutal" compared to her split with David Arquette which she said was not "dramatic" at all even though she and Arquette were marred for 11 years and they have a daughter together, Coco. The Snow Patrol guitarist and Cox started dating in 2013 and were engaged in 2014… and then broke up. They were broken up for a year before getting back together in 2015. She said that the breakup helped her to see the relationship in a new and different way and the two were much better for it. Though there is a 12 year age difference between them (Cox is 52 and McDaid is 40), the two look great (and similar) together and their relationship is stronger than ever.
4 Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter
Not only do Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter look alike, but they also share a love for theater. Hunter is an avant-garde theater and opera director and she was also a stage actor and a former TV actor like Cumberbatch was before he began acting in TV and movies. The Sherlock star and his wife welcomed a son, Christopher, in 2015 and another son named Hal earlier this year. They have been married since 2015 but they were friends for 17 years before their marriage. The two are both very tall, they have similar, long noses, long faces, blue eyes, and dark hair. With so many similar genes, their sons are bound to share these traits with their parents. They have both won awards for their work, they have appeared on television, and they both share a love for Shakespeare.
3 Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni
Though we all wanted to be the Carrie Bradshaw of our group of friends, many have come to terms with the fact that they may be Miranda Hobbes instead. As time goes on, the idea of being a Miranda does not seem so dire--she had a killer, androgynous style, rocked the pixie cut before it was cool, and she was a successful career-oriented woman. Let's face it, Miranda is the best. The reason why she and her wife Christine Marinoni look so much alike is because they share the same red hair. Though Nixon has opted for a blonde style recently, she is still one of the most iconic redheads on television. The fact that she would fall in love with someone with red hair is very fitting. The two have been together since 2003 and were married in 2012. They have a son named Max who also has red hair.
2 Chloe Grace Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham
The fact that the majority of us are too young for David Beckham and too old for his sons is just one of life's cruel jokes. First there's the eldest Beckham son Brooklyn who is only 18, Romeo is 14, and Cruz is 12. They are sure to be the next generation's shared celebrity crushes. Last year, Chloe Grace Moretz, who was 19 at the time, began a relationship with Brooklyn which only lasted a few months. When the two of them got together, however, they got more press than they ever did for anything else even though Moretz has starred in multiple films and Brooklyn's parents are David and Victoria Beckham. The two have similar noses and bushy eyebrows and you can't deny that they look like they could be siblings. However, the couple wasn't mean to last but, considering they are both barely adults, they are sure to find love again.
1 Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes
Though their relationship was riddled with scandal since the very beginning, Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes are surprisingly still together. The two began a relationship after they met on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Lights but the two were married to other people at the time. Once they were caught cheating, Cibrian divorced his wife Brandi Glanville and Rimes divorced her husband Dean Shermet. The two have been together since 2009 and considering that they both cheated on their spouses with each other, you'd think that the two wouldn't still be together eight years later but they are. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that they look so much alike with similar eyes and sultry gazes. They also similarly cheated on their spouses so they have a lot in common.
