‘Full House’ Star Jodie Sweetin’s Teen Daughter Sparks Buzz for Looking like Mom’s ‘Spitting Image’ in Photo

In a captivating social media photo that warmed hearts, “Full House” alum Jodie Sweetin shared a moment with one of her two teenage daughters, Zoie Laurelmae Herpin, during what appeared to be more than just a simple car ride.

The Hollywood actress shared a heartwarming glimpse into her life on Instagram with a photo that showcases not just a mother-daughter outing but a significant rite of passage.

The image, warmly lit by the soft glow of the car’s interior, features Zoie in the driver’s seat and Jodie beside her, both smiling widely. The occasion? Zoie, who sported dark locks, took the wheel for some “neighborhood driving” practice with her new driver’s permit.

Jodie’s caption reads, “This is me not at all worried while riding with Zo practicing her ‘neighborhood driving’ with her new Drivers Permit. Actually… she was VERY good. As long as she never backs the car through the kitchen…we’re good.”

The post quickly gathered attention, with fans flooding the comments section. They couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Zoie and her mother.

One fan exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, she’s the spitting image of you!” while another echoed the sentiment, saying, “I thought it was u.” A netizen also described Jodie as Zoie’s older sister.

Then, another excited netizen stated, “Your daughter is so grown up!” Following suit, a user added, “She’s your twin, just with dark hair.”

Zoie, born in 2008, is Jodie’s daughter with her second ex-husband Cody Herpin. The young social media star is also the half-sister of Beatrix Carlin Coyle, born in 2010, whose father is Jodie’s third ex-husband Morty Coyle.

Jodie’s journey as a mother extends beyond mere physical resemblance with her daughters, delving into a profound bond forged through growth, respect, and mutual admiration. In past interviews, Jodie has often spoken about her approach to parenting.

In 2023, she articulated this philosophy, saying, “People want to raise mini versions of themselves. I just try and remember, ‘This is your own journey and I’m just here to help,'” showcasing her commitment to being the “bumper rails” for their lives.

Both Zoie and Beatrix have transitioned beyond middle school. Reflecting on her daughters’ journey, Jodie highlighted the challenges of navigating the girls’ adolescence, acknowledging it as a “tough time” for both kids and parents.

Nevertheless, Jodie expressed gratitude for the strong bond they now share. “We have fun together. They trust me. We have a really open relationship,” she said.

In 2021, Jodie shared insights into the reciprocal inspiration she shares with her daughters. She highlighted their strong sense of self, courage in expressing their individuality, and the clear boundaries they set, qualities she admires deeply.

Jodie acknowledged that it took her until her 30s to develop these skills, which her daughters naturally embody. She expressed immense pride in their ability to assert their identities and navigate life with confidence unfettered by societal expectations.

“I’m just so proud of how they stand up for themselves and how they say ‘This is who I am,'” Jodie reflected, showcasing the profound impact her daughters have had on her own perspective and growth.

Jodie Sweetin rose to prominence as Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom “Full House,” where she portrayed one of the three daughters of the late comedian Bob Saget’s character, Danny Tanner.

Alongside co-stars Candace Cameron Bure and Ashley Olsen, Jodie captured audiences’ hearts with her endearing portrayal. While fans adored her for her memorable catchphrase, “How rude!” Jodie’s personal life was far from easy.

She was adopted at just nine months old due to her birth parents’ inability to care for her. Despite lacking parental care, she found solace and stability within her television family.

When “Full House” concluded, leaving her at just 13 years old without a steady job, she encountered uncertainty and hardships. Despite achieving fame, Jodie faced personal challenges, especially in her relationships.

After the end of her three past marriages to her first ex-husband Shaun Holguin, Herpin, and Coyle, and a tumultuous engagement with felon Justin Hodak, motherhood became her source of stability and strength.

Now, alongside balancing motherhood, Jodie has found happiness and peace in her marriage to Mescal Wasilewski, whom she wed in 2022, illustrating a new chapter in her life marked by love and contentment.
