We've all heard that theory people tend become more like their parents with age, and then there's the one about how you subconsciously seek out a partner that reminds you of your mom or dad. Well, Selena Gomez is living proof of both these ideas.

There's a meme making its way around the internet that shows a photo of Selena Gomez and her new romantic interest, The Weeknd, next to a photo of Gomez's parents when they were young. The side-by-side comparison makes clear the striking resemblance between the two couples.

Yep, Selena and The Weeknd are basically the 2017 version of Mr. and Mrs. Gomez.
