‘Full House’ Star Jodie Sweetin’s Teen Daughter Sparks Buzz for Looking like Mom’s ‘Spitting Image’ in Photo
In a heartwarming snapshot shared on social media, former “Full House” star Jodie Sweetin captured a special moment with her teenage daughter, Zoie Laurelmae Herpin, in what seemed to be more than just an ordinary car ride, but rather a significant milestone.
Jodie Sweetin took to Instagram to share a joyous moment: a photo of herself and her dark-haired daughter, Zoie, smiling proudly from the driver’s seat of a car. The reason? Zoie was demonstrating her driving skills around their neighborhood.
Jodie’s caption read, “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 garnered attention, with fans flooding the comments section. Many 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.
Another excited commenter 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 role as a mother goes beyond physical resemblance with her daughters, encompassing a deep bond forged through growth, respect, and mutual admiration. In previous interviews, Jodie has often discussed 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,’” underscoring her commitment to providing guidance and support.
Both Zoie and Beatrix have transitioned beyond middle school. Reflecting on her daughters’ journey, Jodie acknowledged the challenges of navigating adolescence, describing it as a “tough time” for both kids and parents.
Nevertheless, Jodie expressed gratitude for the strong bond they 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 derives from her daughters. She praised their strong sense of self, courage in expressing individuality, and ability to set clear boundaries, qualities she deeply admires.
Jodie acknowledged that it took her until her 30s to develop these skills, which her daughters embody naturally. She expressed immense pride in their confidence and independence, highlighting the profound impact they have had on her own growth and perspective.
Jodie Sweetin gained fame for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the iconic sitcom “Full House,” where she played one of the daughters of Danny Tanner, portrayed by the late comedian Bob Saget.
Alongside her co-stars Candace Cameron Bure and Ashley Olsen, Jodie endeared herself to audiences with her portrayal. While fans fondly remember her character’s catchphrase, “How rude!” Jodie’s real-life journey was filled with challenges.
She was adopted at just nine months old due to her birth parents’ inability to care for her. Despite facing early adversity, she found support and stability within her TV family on “Full House.”
When the show ended, leaving her at just 13 years old without a steady job, Jodie confronted uncertainty and hardships. Despite her fame, she grappled with personal struggles, particularly in her relationships.
Following the end of her three previous marriages and a tumultuous engagement, motherhood became a source of strength and stability for Jodie.
Today, while navigating the responsibilities of motherhood, Jodie has discovered happiness and peace in her marriage to Mescal Wasilewski, whom she married in 2022, signaling a new chapter marked by love and contentment.
