A young mother has gone viral on TikTok after revealing that she is frequently mistaken for her teenage daughter's sister due to their striking resemblance. Leticia Gardner, 35, from the UK, shares videos with her daughter that have garnered millions of views, with many viewers unable to tell which woman is the mother.
Leticia had her daughter at the age of 19, meaning the pair are only 16 years apart. In side-by-side clips, the two appear to be similar in age, leading to confusion among fans. One video, captioned 'can you guess how old I was when I had her?', has been viewed over four million times and received 480,000 likes.
Comments on the videos highlight the confusion, with one user writing: 'Struggling, who is the mum and daughter?' Another added: 'This is the first time I've been confused at one of these.' Leticia has clarified in some videos which woman is the mother, with one fan thanking her: 'Thanks for the explanation, couldn't tell which was the mom.'
Leticia has revealed that she raised her eldest daughter as a single mother while still in her teens, before later finding love and marrying. Fans have praised her for her appearance and parenting, with one commenting: 'Mum took good care of herself and daughter, good job - hard work pays off.'
