Michael Sheen’s current love, Sarah Silverman, and baby mama, Kate Beckinsale, have become fast friends, and it seems they have much more in common than the Masters of Sex star.

On Wednesday morning, the British actress, 43, posted side-by-side photos showing herself and the comedian, 45, looking nearly identical, with big hair, eyes, and attitude. “Oh @sarahkatesilverman if only I had known you then,” Kate captioned the black-and-white pix. “We could have supported each other through the ennui and tall, unfortunate hair we were clearly both experiencing.”

Silverman quickly replied, “Oh my sweet lord Jesus this makes me joyous.”

This is the second time in as many days that the women have been showing each other some Instagram love. On Tuesday, the Underworld actress posted a photo from NYC, writing that it was a “beautiful day” and she was “happy to be here.”

Beautiful day happy to be here ????

Sarah commented that she’ll be joining her in the Big Apple on Saturday and advised Kate to wash a part of her anatomy in preparation. (This is Sarah Silverman we’re talking about.) Beckinsale shot back, “Wash it?? I’m having it fully reupholstered for you.”

Beckinsale and Sheen, who have a 17-year-old daughter, Lily, ended their romance in 2003, but stayed close. When he started dating Silverman in 2014, the trio quickly bonded. During an interview on Chelsea Lately in September, the Welsh actor, 47, said his relationship with Kate “is probably better than it ever was,” adding, “It helps that she actually likes Sarah more than she likes me.”

And it all works out pretty nicely — although they do gang up on him.

“The only way it doesn’t work out is that now I have not only Sarah, but also Kate and my daughter Lily, who all just make fun of me and embarrass me at any given point,” Sheen added.

While Sheen’s romance with Silverman is full-speed ahead (they have said they’ll never marry), Kate filed for divorce from director Len Wiseman last week. Laughter — and funny old throwbacks — are the best medicine for getting through drama like that.
