A teen couple has been turning heads this week after posting a series of selfie photos online — something teenagers do quite often. But what makes this couple unique is that they look nearly identical to each other, and they’re going viral because of it.

Yamily Vazquez and Edgar Pareves, the cute couple in question, appear to be like your normal and fashionable teens with bright, ready smiles. But there’s no denying that in some shots, Vazquez and Pareves could pass for twins to the untrained eye. A report from Buzzfeed took notice of the pair’s looks and reached out to them to get more info.

Both teens are 17 years old and live in Massachusetts. They celebrated their four-month anniversary last week (aw!) with photos showing off their model-ready faces and the bliss that comes with young love. The high school sweethearts spoke with Buzzfeed and noted that it isn’t the first time people have mistaken them for siblings.

“We did think [the picture] was funny, but it was just like, ‘Okay … people are going to say we look alike,’ but that’s it,” said Vazquez after posting the Snapchat photo to her Twitter account last Wednesday.

Paraves added, “In the pictures we take together, people will say that. But usually in our day-to-day life, people have gotten used to it.”

The chatter on Twitter has been good-natured, for the most part, with one user saying it was “the best face swap of all time” in response to Vazquez’s tweet.

Paraves ended the interview stating he didn’t think he and girlfriend look that much alike but conceded there are some similarities and insisted they are in no way related.
