Kyla Pratt has always been that girl — from voicing Penny Proud in “The Proud Family” and starring in “One on One” to holding it down in classics like Dr. Dolittle and Love & Basketball. But apart from her career, she is also making people do a double-take when they see her with her daughters.
Pratt shares two daughters, Lyric and Liyah Kirkpatrick, with her longtime partner, Danny Kirkpatrick, plus her “bonus baby” Danny Kilpatrick Jr. While both girls definitely share features from both parents, it’s Lyric who has fans accusing her of stealing her mother’s face every time they pop up on TikTok or hit a red carpet. From viral dance challenges to sweet throwback moments, the mother-daughter duo keeps reminding us just how strong the genes are.
Below, we rounded up eight moments where the resemblance between Pratt and Lyric was too uncanny to ignore.

From the cheekbones to the confidence, the resemblance was undeniable.
2. Just another viral TikTok
