Nicole Richie’s Teen Daughter Harlow Is Her Mom’s Twin in Rare Family Photo

Fans likely thought they were seeing double over the weekend when Nicole Richie posted a loving Mother's Day tribute to her mom. No, it wasn't the photos of Brenda Harvey-Richie that had folks doing a double-take, but instead, Nicole's 15-year-old daughter, Harlow, whom we haven't seen much of in years.

Nicole posted a few photos on her Instagram story

Nicole's daughter could seriously be her twin

It's obvious that Nicole's DNA is strong — although we do see a few of dad Joel Madden's features in Harlow's face — because her girl is the spitting image of her mother when she was young. In fact, if Lionel Richie ever wanted to do a biopic, we think Harlow could definitely play a teenage Nicole.

Fans are likely so shocked by the resemblance because they almost never see the Madden kids

Just like Nicole's famous in-laws Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, the former reality TV star likes to keep her kids' personal lives private. She almost never posts any photos of Harlow or her 13-year-old son, Sparrow. In fact, this is the first time fans have seen either of the teens on social media in years.

It looks like the Richie crew had a great day

Nicole and Sofia were sure to make time for their mom over the holiday weekend and spend some quality time celebrating Brenda. We hope they all had a lovely time and were able to catch up — the family has been very busy lately, especially with Sofia's recent wedding. Here's hoping it was a fun afternoon for all.
