THIS mother - daughter duo are mistaken for sisters all the time. Jay and Kelly said people think they are twins or sisters everywhere they go. The pair have very similar styles and often wear matching outfits. Kelly said: “We've been dressing the same ever since she was little. We would wear the same shoes, the same colours.” Jay added: “Anything she buys for herself. She buys two because you'll buy one for me… What I like about twinning is you don't get to see too many mother daughters that look so much alike.” While they look alike, Kelly asserted that their relationship is still mother daughter. She said: “I'm very much still the mom,” she added: “she's not allowed to curse, she still can't have a boyfriend… I ask her what she's doing, I track her constantly.” Jay and Kelly went viral on TikTok and have received comments about their relationship. Kelly said: “Some people online are negative about our relationship because they feel like the mom should not be hanging out with her daughter - and it's not that we hang out all the time.” But their videos have also garnered a lot of support and positivity on videos of the two of them twinning with people admiring their closeness and the fact they look so alike. Jay and Kelly are so proud of one another and their relationship. Jay said: “She's just the greatest inspiration to me with everything that she does.” Kelly added: “In the future I hope that we just keep getting better and better.”

00:00People never believe us when we say we're mother and daughter.
00:03You don't get to see too many mother-daughters that look so much alike.
00:08Well some people online are negative about our relationship.
00:13I know we shared each other's location, but I don't know if she actually...
00:16Yeah, I actually track her all the time.
00:17That's crazy.
00:18And she still can't have a boyfriend.
00:19How old are you?
00:20I'm 30.
00:21She's still my baby.
00:23Has anybody said that your guys' relationship is unhealthy?
00:29Oh.
00:30Woo!
00:31You excited for dinner?
00:32I'm excited for birthday dinner.
00:34We're gonna be so cute.
00:35I wanna see what you got.
00:36I gotta show you my dress.
00:38Yes, I haven't seen it.
00:39My dress and my shoes.
00:41It'll be so cute.
00:42Hi, my name is Kelly.
00:44Hi, my name is Jay.
00:45Hi.
00:46Hi.
00:47We should do that at the same time.
00:48Okay, let's go then.
00:50Hi, my name is Kelly.
00:51Hi, my name is Jay.
00:52Hi.
00:53And you'd be surprised, but she's my mom, not my sister.
00:56Sometimes I'm her sister.
00:58So, how often are you guys mistaken for twins or sisters, like when you're on about?
01:03Oh, we get mistaken for twins and sisters constantly.
01:08Everywhere we go.
01:09And we laugh and then we tell them the truth.
01:11We like to trick people.
01:12Do people normally believe you when you tell them your mother or daughter?
01:15No.
01:16Never.
01:17Ever.
01:18To top it off, I got the shoes that you told me to get.
01:22Wait, I've gotta show you.
01:23Boom.
01:24They're gonna be so cute.
01:25Those are hot.
01:26They even have glitter on the bottom.
01:27So cute, right?
01:28Yeah.
01:29Even though we look a lot alike, you might see us at the same parties.
01:38Well, I'm very much still the mom.
01:40Like, she's not allowed to curse.
01:42She still can't have a boyfriend.
01:44It's not happening.
01:45Yeah, guys ask me all the time, like, oh, I love your daughter.
01:48Can I date her?
01:49No, you cannot.
01:50Same with my mom.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Can't date.
01:53You can't date my daughter.
01:54How old are you?
01:55I'm 30.
01:56You're 30?
01:57Uh-huh.
01:58Why can't she have a boyfriend?
01:59Because she's still my baby.
02:00I'm very protective.
02:01Telling me how to move.
02:02But I appreciate it.
02:03Do you want a boyfriend?
02:06Do you?
02:07No, of course not.
02:08Yeah, me either.
02:10When she's with me, I'm still in charge.
02:12I ask her where she's going.
02:13I track her constantly.
02:15Who she's with.
02:16You track me?
02:17All the time.
02:18I know we shared each other's location, but I didn't know she actually...
02:21Yeah, I actually track her all the time.
02:22That's crazy.
02:23Yeah.
02:24It's a little controlling, but...
02:27I think what led to the closeness with me and Jay is...
02:31I had Jay when I was 17, so we grew up together.
02:33I have a young mom, so she can relate to everything that's going on with me.
02:38So, I just feel really comfortable with talking to my mom.
02:41Not my friend.
02:42She tells me all the time we're not friends.
02:43Right.
02:44Am I your friend?
02:45No.
02:46Okay.
02:47But kinda.
02:48Some of our style is similar too though, huh?
02:49Do you think?
02:50Yeah.
02:51Little bit.
02:52I agree.
02:53We like black.
02:54Black.
02:55My whole life is black.
02:56No, we're going to be different.
02:57I'm wearing this.
02:58We've been dressing the same ever since she was little.
03:01We're the same shoes, the same colors.
03:03So you guys started dressing the same ever since day one?
03:07Yes, maybe not every day when she was maybe three or four, but once she was old enough
03:12where we could wear the same sizes and shoes and clothes.
03:15But since the baby, y'all had the same.
03:16Yeah.
03:17I feel like I could've worn this for the birthday too.
03:20Like this is really cute.
03:21This will be cute on me.
03:23Um, mm-hmm.
03:24It'll be cute on me.
03:26Yeah.
03:27She comes home and she's like, what do we have?
03:30Anything she buys for herself, she buys too because she'll buy one for me.
03:34Yeah.
03:35I like those shoes.
03:36You like the shoes?
03:37I love your boots.
03:38What I like about 20 is you don't get to see too many mother daughters that look so much
03:43alike.
03:44Yeah.
03:45So I feel unique in that sense.
03:47What are some things that you differ or disagree on?
03:50I don't know.
03:51I don't know.
03:52Yeah, I don't.
03:53It is something, but you don't want to talk about it.
03:54What?
03:55I think she's too nice.
03:57Oh, she does.
03:58It's very rare that we have a disagreement.
04:00So when we do have a disagreement, I think we're both kind of not ourselves until things
04:05get back to normal.
04:06Reggie, what you think about mommy's dress tonight?
04:08Yeah.
04:09Do you like my dress?
04:10It's not much of a dress.
04:11It's very small.
04:12My son's name is Reggie.
04:14Reggie is our manager.
04:16When we're on live, our TikTok moderator.
04:19He's finding a TikTok for us to do.
04:22I think these are cool.
04:23Okay.
04:24All right.
04:25Let's do it.
04:26Manager.
04:29Let us know when.
04:31Three, two, one.
04:37We're so cute.
04:38That's the one.
04:39We look good.
04:40Did that.
04:41Thank you, manager.
04:42Bye-bye.
04:43We were really new to TikTok when we went viral the first time.
04:46Yeah.
04:47So some of the best comments I hear, of course, me being the mom, is always like, so that's
04:51not your sister?
04:52And people are like with a shocked face.
04:54Somebody said, I thought you were identical twins.
04:56Oh, yeah.
04:57Mama just copy and paste.
04:58Mm-hmm.
04:59Oh, here's the best one.
05:00So she had you at like 12 or what?
05:03Triplets.
05:04Is this ever embarrassing for you, Reggie?
05:06Yeah.
05:07Tell me about that.
05:09Um, yeah, sometimes the comments are embarrassing.
05:12But, um, or in person when we're out together.
05:15It's annoying.
05:16But, yeah, like certain comments saying, do y'all need a dad?
05:19Or like annoying comments like that.
05:21But that's okay.
05:22I know it comes with the territory.
05:23So are you guys just like kind of protective of each other no matter what scenario?
05:26We're definitely protective of each other.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Definitely.
05:30Yeah.
05:31But he's been like that since he was little.
05:32Why do you feel like you should fill that role?
05:34Because I don't know.
05:35Some people are just disrespectful.
05:36People are going to be people, I guess.
05:38Or men are going to be men.
05:39What other responses do you guys kind of receive online about your relationship?
05:42I see a lot of women on there who say, I hope me and my daughter are just like this.
05:47So that makes us feel really good to see that, you know.
05:50We inspire.
05:51We inspire some people.
05:52I will say the negative side too is being compared.
05:57I feel like, why would someone compare mom and daughter?
05:59We literally look just alike.
06:00We have the same face, you know.
06:02Has anybody said that your guys' relationship is like unhealthy?
06:06Oh.
06:07Well, some people online are negative about our relationship because they feel like, you
06:13know, the mom should not be hanging out with her daughter.
06:16And it's not that we hang out all the time.
06:18How does it affect you guys emotionally when you come across negative comments?
06:23Oh, I get angry.
06:24I'm always ready to like lash out.
06:26And my kids are like, mom, no, you can't.
06:28Just delete and block.
06:29They're annoying, obviously, because who wants to see negativity?
06:33But I just delete and block them.
06:35I don't pay any mind.
06:38Tomorrow's my birthday.
06:39So we're having a birthday dinner for me, which my daughter always has to talk me into.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Okay, let's do it.
06:47I don't know how to do that.
06:49It has an emerald box lock.
06:51It's so heavy.
06:52It's so heavy.
06:5314 karat gold.
06:54There you go.
06:55So I brought you guys both custom karat years.
06:57I know you guys match a lot, so I switched it up a little bit.
07:00Let's see how you guys look those.
07:02Let's do it.
07:03Oh.
07:04I'm sure it's a movie.
07:06It's a movie.
07:07It's a movie.
07:08I need my phone.
07:09It's like literally looking in the mirror.
07:12Is this me?
07:13I can see you.
07:14See me.
07:15Let's get ready for dinner.
07:16Reek the jeweler.
07:17Thanks for coming.
07:18Got us right together for you.
07:20She's the greatest inspiration to me.
07:26Everything that she does.
07:28Don't do that.
07:29Don't.
07:30Don't cry.
07:31Don't start.
07:32I get emotional talking about my mom because I feel like she went through a lot to get
07:39my brother and I to where we are today.
07:42You're welcome, baby.
07:43In the future, I hope that we just keep getting better and better.
07:48More successful.
07:52I would love to always see my children just flourish and do well.
07:56And I will say that my children, they are doing amazing.
08:00I could not be more proud of the both of them.
08:05I think we need lip gloss.
08:06Do we?
08:07Mm-hmm.
08:13Yeah.
08:14There are a lot of great people just
