Coleen Garcia finally got to meet her doppelgänger halfway across the world: a teenage girl named Makayla Galindo, who lives in Los Angeles, California.
Garcia recalled on Instagram yesterday, Sept. 9, the fateful meeting between her and Galindo when she traveled to the US last July. She said that she got in touch with Galindo about five years ago when people online told her she had a “mini-me.” Garcia clarified that Galindo is not Filipino and is “completely an LA girl.”
“I found her soooo adorable, especially when she would re-create my OOTD (outfit of the day) photos. TOO CUTE!” Garcia gushed. One of the pictures that Garcia shared was of Galindo twinning with one of Garcia’s looks, from her outfit down to the hand on her hip.
The “Sin Island” actress also posted a picture of them together when they met, as well as a picture of a friendship bracelet that she received from Galindo. She thanked her lookalike for the bracelet, which includes a charm that says “soul sister.”
Galindo’s Instagram profile states that she is a model, dancer and actress. “She’s a BEAST when it comes to dancing, just check her videos,” Garcia declared proudly.
Galindo was also all praises for Garcia in her Instagram post in August.
Galindo wrote: “She is beyond beautiful and such a sweetheart. Seriously she is absolutely AMAZING. Plus I got to meet her super talented husband @billycrawford.”
Crawford replied to her post: “Finally met your long-lost sister!” /ra
