20 Celebs Whose Exes Appear To Be Identical To Their Current Partner

Do you have a type? Yes/No? Maybe you like your significant other to be tall and slim? Or you prefer a brunette over a blonde? And blue eyes? Or it's possible that musicians are your thing. There are a ton of celebrities who appear to date the same kind of person over and over again. So much so that their new partners looks almost identical to their old partners. It's unclear if its unconscious or if it is on purpose but these people continue to gravitate to similar partners again and again. And we have taken notice, it's very obvious!.

Some celebs have a specific type, like leggy models or British accents, while others like to date athletes, like NBA players. Or maybe their partners aren't exactly the same but its the same style of person. Is it odd that at some of these celebrity exes and their new partners could be twins, some even have such an uncanny resemblance, that one celeb's wife is often mistaken for his ex-girlfriend. Some look like they could siblings. And their kids even look alike. How awkward for the current relationship!

Check out these celebs who tend to date the same people all the time!

20 Katy Perry Has Twinning Partners

Katy Perry may have a type! The American Idol judge is currently dating actor, Orlando Bloom after a few years of on-again-off-again. The duo confirmed they were back together recently after a split in 2017.

The pop singer appears to like tall guys with longish brown hair.

“Orlando and Katy are great. They are dating exclusively again and things seem more serious,” an insider told People. They even met the Pope together at Vatican City. She was there to discuss meditation at the Unite to Cure conference. “They are both excited about it and don't want to hide, but at the same time they are trying to keep privacy as well.”

And Orlando appears to resemble one of Katy's other high profile exes, John Mayer, who - in a 2016 interview with the NYTimes - wrote, "Still Feel Like Your Man" about Katy.

“Who else would I be thinking about? And by the way, it's a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years. That was my only relationship. So it's like, give me this, people," he said, according to Marie Claire.

The duo split, allegedly over their strong personalities, after about two years together.

19 The Weeknd's Bombshell Brunettes

The Weeknd is one lucky guy - not only did he date Bella Hadid for a few years before splitting up at the end of December 2016, but he then got to date pop star Selena Gomez for the majority of 2017, before she went back to her first love, Justin Bieber. (They also have since broken up.)

But it's unclear what exactly happened in Selena and The Weeknd's 10-month relationship. And it's rumored that The Weeknd even has a song about Selena, insinuating he almost gave her his kidney due to her Lupus complications.

In the song “Call Out My Name” he sings,“I said I didn't feel nothing, baby, but I lied / I almost cut a piece of myself for your life / Guess I was just another pit stop / 'Til you made up your mind / You just wasted my time / You're on top,” according to Vulture.

And we didn't see this one coming, but he's now he's back to Bella.

The Weeknd and Bella have been seen canoodling all over Cannes recently. “It was obvious they were together,” an insider told Us Magazine. “They weren't trying to hide it either.” But they have been friendly since Coachella in April 2018, so is anyone really surprised?

18 Taylor Swift's Copied Companions

Taylor Swift appears to be done with American boyfriends after she opted to date guys with UK accents. Taylor went from Harry Styles to Calvin Harris to Tom Hiddleston and now she's settled with Joe Alwyn. And at 5'10", most of Taylor's guys have got to be tall - on top of being handsome and kind of blondish.

Taylor had two high profile splits with Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, before settling down with up and coming British actor, Joe Alwyn.

Calvin and Taylor split after a little over a year together. The breakup appeared amicable until just days layer Taylor was seen with actor Tom Hiddleston. And then Calvin got upset when Taylor's camp revealed that she had in fact written his hit song, 'This Is What You Came For' and which really got him angry at his former lady according to Popsugar. And then she briefly dated Tom from June to September 2016.

This time around the international singer has kept her romance very low-profile.

She has yet to comment on her year-long relationship. But she did give him a sweet shot out on the first stop of her Reputation tour in Glendale, Arizona. During her song 'Gorgeous' reportedly inspired by Joe, she pointed to the crowd in the direction of her beau according to People.

17 Gigi Hadid Doubled Dudes

Gigi has a thing for musicians. The supermodel dated dark haired pop star Joe Jonas from The Jonas Brother and DNCE in 2015, and within two weeks of their split, she was spotted getting cozy with his doppelganger, Zayn Malik.

And even Joe commented on her quick rebound, according to DailyMail: “I think it's interesting that she moved on so quickly. I mean it was definitely very quick." He was even asked about his resemblance to Zayn. "It's comical that I'm compared to him. That dude and I have been compared for years, I think it's just funny. To be honest, I haven't really listened to his music, but he can sing well."

Gigi has since split from Zayn and they even released a statement on their split. “Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience over a few years… not only in the relationship but in life in general. I'm forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever's meant to be will be. xG,” Gigi added on Twitter. 

But the duo has been spotted getting close again and was even seen canoodling at the end of April, according to Us Magazine.

16 Marc Anthony's Latin Loves

Marc Anthony likes his ladies voluptuous, with honey-colored tresses. From megastar Jennifer Lopez to most recent wife, Shannon De Lima - as well as a few in-between relationships, including one with Chloe Green (the heiress to Topshop) who also happens to have that long blondish-brown hair.

Marc has since split from his third wife Shannon, but he definitely has a type.

Marc was married to Jennifer from 2004 to 2012 and they have a set of twins together, Max and Emme. Jennifer is known for her New York look and her long golden tresses, which she switches up occasionally, but ends up back to that look.

Marc then married Shannon in 2014 and they split in 2016, officially divorcing in 2017. As with Jennifer, it's unclear why the Marc and Shannon split, but they did not split up over Marc's kiss with Jennifer Lopez at the Latin Grammys in 2016. “It was not the kiss. We had been separated already for about a month,” Shannon said, according to People.

She added that she actually had great times with Jennifer at birthday parties and events: “Cero, there is nothing. People make up this movie in their minds and create a rivalry where there is none.” Marc and Shannon had no children together, but the duo is still friendly, as Shannon was spotted on a yacht with Marc and Will Smith, according to E!.

15 Reggie Bush' Brunette Babes

When Reggie Bush broke up with Kim Kardashian, he moved on to a Kim K look-alike. Kim and Reggie dated a few years before they split and he moved on to his now-wife, Lilit Avagyan - who looks exactly like Kim! Like you might do a double-take, they look so identical, and they are both Armenian. Long, dark hair, curvy, and absolutely gorgeous is clearly Reggie's type.

Even Jennifer Lawrence poked fun at the resemblance when she filled in for Jimmy on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kim Kardashian was the guest on the show that night, and Lawrence could not contain herself. She blurted out: “My first question - do you think it's a coincidence that Reggie Bush's wife looks just like you? I don't!”

Wow! According to Hollywood Life, Kim just laughed it off and said, “I knew this was going to be fun!”

And that's not where similarities end. Their families look almost identical, too. Both have daughters around the same age, who happen to look like they could be sisters, as well as sons around the same age. And they each have three kids, but Lilit's third is a boy, while Kim's third is a girl, Chicago.

Their lives really do mirror each other, it's so weird!

14 Robin Thicke's Dual Ladies

Robin Thicke's ladies look eerily similar. Robin's current girlfriend, April Love Geary, could be his ex-wife Paula Patton's movie stunt double if she wanted to be! Although there is a huge difference between the ladies, namely their age gap.

Robin and Paula met in high school in their early teens and were together for over two decades, but Robin and April have a huge age 18 year age difference.

Robin and Paula were married from 2005 to 2015 and share a son, Julian. They had a dramatic split with Robin attempting to win her back and even named an album, Paula, after her. But she refused to reunite with the R&B crooner, with a subsequent contentious custody battle. But they have finally mended fences. “Robin and Paula had lots of drama and disagreements, but everyone is doing better now,” an insider told People. “They realized they needed to figure out ways to get along, so things would be easier for their son.”

The insider added, “The drama was very difficult and unfair to Julian. Lately, things are much better. They all seem happier.”

Robin and April recently welcomed their own baby together, a daughter they named Mia in February 2018.

13 Khloe Kardashian Basketball Guys

By now it's evident that Khloe Kardashian has a thing for athletes. Sure, she dated rapper French Montana, but after that, she was back to her tall basketball players. She dated Lamar Odom, James Harden, and now she's with Tristan Thompson, who's been linked to a recent controversy.

And both Lamar and Tristan have things in common; for example, they have children from previous relationships and both men weren't exactly faithful to Khloe.

Kim recently chatted with Ellen Degeneres, and she did not hold back on Tristan's recent infidelity scandal while Khloe was due to give birth to a daughter, True. "Like I don't even know how to describe it besides, it's just so [messed] up. We really were rooting for Khloé, and we still are, you know. She's so strong and she's doing the best that she can - it's a really sad situation all over," Kim told Ellen, according to InTouch Weekly.

And she seems to have gotten into a little trouble with her sister's boyfriend, Tristan, she said on Live With Kelly and Ryan: "I mean… last time I went on TV and answered some questions about her, I got blocked on social media… Not from Khloé," she said, according to InTouch.

12 Miley Cyrus Matched Mates

Miley Cyrus likes them tall and handsome. Miley dated The Last Song co-star, Liam Hemsworth, from 2010 to 2013. During that time, they became engaged and were headed for marriage, before abruptly ending the relationship not long after Miley's over-the-top VMA performance in 2013.

This was around the same time that Miley was trying to leave her Disney image behind and exploring a more mature musical style. 

Then she went through a phase where her fashions were questionable and started dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

The romance lasted just five months and reportedly ended when Patrick was caught having a little too much fun on spring break. But Miley was fine after the breakup, according to Us Magazine: ”It has a lot to do with being a feminist, but I'm finally okay with being alone," Miley told Time. "I think that's something we have to talk about more: that you can be alone. There are times in my life where I've had boyfriends or girlfriends. And there are times where I just love being with myself and don't want to give part of myself away to someone else.”

Then in 2015, Miley and Liam were able to reconcile after Miley got Liam to adopt a dog. Now the duo is back on track to getting married.

11 Ian Somerhalder's Similar Ladies

Ian Somerhalder went from one friend to another, and they look a lot alike. Somerhalder raised eyebrows when he started dating current wife, Nikki Reed. There is nothing wrong with Nikki, but she just happened to be friends with Nina Dobrev, who is Ian's Vampire Diaries co-star and his ex-girlfriend.

They deny it now, but rumor has it there was a little tension over the situation. But they have shown a united front in recent years and slammed such rumors of betrayals.

Nikki addressed the issue on Instagram: “For the last few years we thought addressing any baseless rumors with silence was the best way. Besides, who wants to respond to made up stories about 'friends backstabbing friends', 'cheating exes', or 'cast members exiting shows' on low-brow websites like hollywoodlife that are just perpetuating trends that preceded us. Yuck. I now see that silence was taken as an opportunity to fill in the blanks with even more falsities, and juicer stories, and we, yes WE, believe we have a moral responsibility to young girls to end that narrative, because at the end of all of this, those young girls are the ones who lose. Their passion and endless devotion for a tv show is being taken advantage of, replaced with feelings of anger through divisive techniques, & even worse, their minds are being shaped & molded as their view of themselves, other girls, & what those dynamics should look like are being formed. So here's to putting an end to all those fake stories of on set jealousy, betrayal, made-up-friendships lost & women hating women.”

10 Kate Hudson's Thing For Musicians

Kate Hudson most definitely has a thing for musicians, but her most recent beau has a crazy similarity to one of her former loves. They are both tall, skinny and a little scruffy in the facial hair department. It's no secret Kate likes dating rock stars she even starred in the movie, Almost Famous as a band groupie. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the spunky, Penny Lane. She started with Chris Robinson, from the Black Crowes, who she married in 2000 and they welcomed a son, Ryder in 2004. By 2006 the couple was split.

Kate had her second son, Bingham in 2011, by another musician, Matt Bellamy, who she dated from 2010 to 2014.

But according to the Daily Mail, Kate told Conan that she usually likes her guys tall:“Connection is everything, but I've been known to lean towards tall [men].”

Her current boyfriend, Danny Fujikawa, is 6'2". After being introduced by her friends, Sara and Erin Foster, who happen to be Danny's stepsisters (according to AOL), they have been dating for more than a year. However, the two have known each other for over a decade. They are expecting a baby girl this year.

9 Adam Levine Victoria's Secret Beauties

Adam Levine has a history of dating models, but he especially loves Victoria's Secret ladies. He was first linked to Anne Vyalitsyna in 2010. They began dating after meeting at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit release party, where his band Maroon 5 played, according to PopSugar.

He sang to her when she walked down the runway in Victoria's Secret runway show in 2011, and she also starred in the music video for a'Never Gonna Leave This Bed".

But by 2012 the romance was over and he was on to fellow Victoria's Secret, and very leggy model, Behati Prinsloo. They briefly split, when Levine dated model Nina Agdal for a short time before running back to Behati. They married in July 2014 and now have two daughters together, Dusty Rose, 19 months, and Gio Grace, 3 months.

And he's been gushing about her ever since. For Behati's 30th birthday in May 2018, Levine posted on Instagram, “The Queen turns 30 today. She's a legend. She's THE baddest. In just a few years we have laughed and loved harder than most. I wake up every morning thankful that it wasn't all a dream. Here's to a thousand more years. I love you @behatiprinsloo with everything I got.”

8 Amber Rose Identical Rap Dudes

Amber Rose has dated different dudes, but her most recent high profile love, 21 Savage, looks almost identical to her ex-husband, Wiz Khalifa. Both guys are lanky, have tons of tattoo, and love to wear their hair in dreads. Plus, Wiz and 21 Savage are both famous rappers. Amber and Wiz married in 2013 and welcomed a son, Sebastian, in 2013. They split up in 2016.

Amber and 21 Savage started dating in 2017 and have since split, but Amber is trying to win him back by professing her love for him on Instagram.

She posted: “I Love this man so much. I know the Internet portrays me to be some heartless person or they feel like I'm incapable of love but I love him so hard. He is not only one of the most talented people I have ever met but he is so real, humble and smart as hell. It's the price of fame I guess but it's not real life because in real life Shayaa is my heart and soul. He's the only one that has ever supported [me] and my feminist views [… ]. He loves my son and I love his Three beautiful children so much. God brings people in ur life for a reason and God brought me him. I love him. Put ur pride to the side and tell the person you really love how much they mean to you today because life is too short to care about what anyone else says.”

Amber has since deleted the Instagram post after 21 Savage apparently responded to her on his own Instagram account saying: "You cross me once it's [ruined] you for life." We don't know if it was particularly directed at Amber, but it sounds like it could be…

7 George Clooney Twin Partners

George Clooney has dated a lot of beautiful ladies. He looked like he was never going to get married, especially after turning 50 and not appearing to want to settle down. However, his wife now, Amal Alamuddin, clearly swept him off his feet, because within a year they were married.

But George has a long dating history before Amal, and one of George's former loves looks a lot like his wife. George dated Elisabetta Canalis from 2009 to 2011.

Of course, now George gushes over his lady love: “ I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Amal,” he told Charlie Rose, according to Us Magazine. “We had never talked about it so there wasn't like a 'Hey, maybe we should get married.' Literally, I dropped it on her… and she just kept saying, 'Oh my God,' and 'Wow!' We just sat there and finally I said, 'Listen, I'm 52 and I've been on my knee now for about 28 minutes, so I gotta get an answer out of this or I'm going to throw a hip out. I might not be able to stand back up!'"

I guess Amal had a few reservations about marrying the bachelor, but they welcomed twins in June 2017, so seems like those reservations are no longer a concern!

6 Kim Kardashian's Entertaining Type

Kim Kardashian has a very public dating history, but two of her most well-known relationships are with husband, Kanye West and former boyfriend, Ray J. And let's just say she likes guys with a lot of personality and confidence, which are character traits that fundamentally define these two artists, even though Kanye is more famous and way more vocal on his political views.

But don't these guys look kind of similar? 

Kim recently dished on keeping a happy home life with Elle Magazine: "I think it's important that in all couples, the mom gives the husband as much attention as the kids." 

She added that they have both learned from each other: "He's taught me to have more of an opinion. I've taught him to be a bit calmer or cautious. We're a good balance." 

We think Kim is probably still trying to teach Kanye calmness, but it seems that he's already given Kim her first gray hair. After all his tweeting, she joked recently (according to Allure): "[Kanye] gave me my first gray hair this week, and I am blaming that on him."

Kanye went on a Twitter binge and tweeted a lot of wacky stuff, and then he stopped by TMZ and made a few very controversial comments.

5 Claire Danes Paired Up

Claire Danes' husband Hugh Dancy could be a brother to her former boyfriend, Billy Crudup. But Claire and her former boyfriend's relationship may have been doomed from the start after it's rocky beginning. Billy reportedly left his longtime girlfriend, Mary-Louise Parker, who happened to be pregnant with their child, for Claire.

“That was a scary thing. That was really hard. I didn't know how to not do that. I was just in love with him. And needed to explore that, and I was 24… I didn't quite know what those consequences would be… But it's O.K… I went through it,” Claire said of the relationship, according to Vanity Fair. Mary remained relatively quiet on the situation.

But Claire is now married to Billy's doppelganger, Hugh Dancy, who she met while both were single. “I was very recently single, and I had never been single before, so we were just friends for a while. [Hugh and I] met in Rhode Island when it was at its most audaciously beautiful, in the fall. And there was one day when we were bicycling by the water and it was sparkly and idyllic, and I just had this dumb epiphany, like, I'm really just happy,” she said, according to the HuffPost.

The couple is married while one son, Cyrus, age 5, and another one is on the way.

4 Leonardo DiCaprio Loves Look-A-Likes

Leonardo DiCaprio has a type - leggy models with blonde hair. And like Adam Levine, he likes to spend his time with Victoria's Secret models. He's long liked models, but one of his most famous exes happens to be one of the highest-paid supermodels to ever walk the runway, Gisele Bundchen, who is now married to Tom Brady.

Gisele and Leo dated for about five years before calling it quits.

We really thought Leo was headed for marriage and kids with the model, but it wasn't meant to be. Leonardo had an interesting answer about marriage when he was asked by Parade magazine: “You're 41 and still single. Do you believe in marriage?” He answered, “That time will come when that time comes. The truth is, you can't predict marriage. You can't plan it. It's just going to happen when it happens.”

But now he's been linked to a 20-year-old model, Camila Morrone, who happens to strongly resemble Gisele. Maybe Leo never wants to settle down, maybe he wants to date model after model forever, or maybe he will end up like George Clooney and be swept off his feet by someone, not in the limelight. Only time will tell!

3 Ryan Reynolds Blonde Duet

Ryan Reynolds' current wife, Blake Lively, and ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, aren't exact duplicates of each other, but they do have similarities. For one thing, they are both popular actresses with big personalities and blonde hair. Ryan and Blake make a great couple, and they got married in 2012. Since then, they've welcomed two daughters and seem to be living a happy life together.

But you may have forgotten that Ryan was married to the other beautiful blonde. Reynolds and Johansson were married for three years before calling it quits in 2011. Johansson once implied in an interview that competitiveness affected their relationship: "There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people's careers are going at the same rate. Or even if one person is more successful than the other, that also proves challenging. There may be a competitive thing," she said, according to Us Magazine.

But their split left Ryan single again, and he soon found love with his Green Lantern co-star, Blake Lively. They actually fell for each other on a double date with other dates, according to PopSugar. "She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl," Ryan recalled. "That was the most awkward date [from their perspective] probably because we were just like fireworks coming across." Wow, to be a fly on that wall, right?!

2 Ellen Degeneres' Ladies

Ellen Degeneres doesn't sway far from blondes. You might say she has a thing for them. Ellen has been with wife, Portia de Rossi, for so long that we don't remember a time when they weren't a Red Carpet darling duo, but yes Ellen had another high profile blonde lover before Portia.

Before getting together with her current wife, Degeneres was with actress Anne Heche, who reportedly broke Ellen's heart back in 2000.

In 2001, Ellen explained her heartbreak: "There is something that you learn when you have a broken heart. Not that I didn't cherish love before but I really treasure it now, I really understand how hard it is to find. I think being the person I am now, if I met her tomorrow I probably wouldn't be with her. But I was a different person then, and I've learned a whole lot," Ellen said according to LA Times.

Anne went on to marry twice after her split from Ellen. Ellen met Portia a few years later in 2004, and in 2008 they married. Ellen gushes over her love, Portia, according to E!: "The truth is, and this is corny, I fall more in love with Portia all the time. I really do. She surprises me all the time. It's what anyone experiences when you find that person that gets you, wants to take care of you, wants the best for you. We're really lucky because we know how rare it is."

1 Simon Cowell's Brunette Beauties

Simon Cowell's current partner has a close similarity to his former lady. Before Cowell started dating Lauren Silverman, he was engaged to the raven hair makeup artist, Mezhgan Hussainy.

But the relationship reportedly crumbled as he became busy with X Factor. “I'm not going to lie, everything this year has been about working on The X Factor. It has probably been the busiest year I've ever had. Making the choice to get married is something you just have to decide when the time is right,” Simon said at the time, according to Daily Mail. He reportedly gave her a million dollar home as a consolation prize.

But Simon was soon entangled in a controversy.

He began secretly dating Lauren Silverman, the wife of his friend Andrew Silverman. And soon it was announced that she was pregnant with his first child (her second). Simon did say he regretted how the relationship started. "It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened. You have to deal with it and man up to it. You have to accept the responsibility and the criticism. All I can say is, my advice to you is if it happens to you, you just have to deal with it a day at a time and own up to your responsibilities," he lamented, according to Us Magazine.

The duo has weathered the storm and is still together. They welcomed Eric in February 2014.
