After comparing Yara to Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy, fans have found another doppelganger that looks exactly like the 90 Day Fiancé season eight star.
When fans first saw Yara Zaya with future husband Jovi Dufren on 90 Day Fiancé, many wondered where they had seen the season eight star before. While Ukrainian viewers may have met Yara on their TV screens via her dating show at 19, the rest of the world was still puzzled. Fans found Jovi’s look-a-like in Jon Cryer’s Duckie from Pretty In Pink, and some joked about Yara being Draco Malfoy’s twin. But a recent shocking discovery proves Yara is a carbon copy of Staci Keanan, best known for My Two Dads and Step by Step.
New Orleans’ party-boy Jovi met Yara from Kyiv, Ukraine on a travel app before meeting in-person in Budapest. The couple then toured the world together, from Bali to the Dominican Republic, as Jovi fell for the make-up expert who “turns heads when she walks on the streets.” While their first meeting may have been a hook-up, things got serious when Yara got pregnant. Jovi proposed, thus starting her K-1 visa journey. The decision also began Yara’s new stint as a 90 Day Fiancé cast member, bringing her reality TV fame, recognition, and doppelgangers!
A 90 Day Fiancé fan on Reddit first posted a side-by-side comparison of Yara and Staci, saying they looked alike, to which a top reply reads, “She does and I am now like 20 percent more attracted to her.” Another TLC viewer exclaims, “Yessss!!!!!! i thought she looked familiar OMG!” A different comment reads, “OMG it had been driving me crazy! I could not figure out who she reminded me of! this is it!!” While some fans now understand why Yara looks so familiar, a few others say the resemblance between the pair could be the product of plastic surgery.
“It’s probably the look Yara was going for when she got all of that plastic surgery,” comments one 90 Day Fiancé viewer, referencing the rumors of Yara getting plastic surgery. Someone else notes, “Love Yara but I don’t think it’s God’s work in this case lmao.” While Yara may have denied getting plastic surgery, saying there’s no silicon on her body and crediting her look to makeup and lip fillers from four years ago, one surely can see a clear resemblance between her and Staci. But in all likeliness, it’s all-natural, as the two stars do showcase similar characteristics on screen as well. Here’s a trailer of Staci from the 1987 sitcom My Two Dads as a 12-year-old, and one from the 1991 show Step By Step, where she acts a lot like Yara, who wasn’t even born yet.
The Reddit comments also reveal that Staci, real name Anastasia Love Sagorsky, is now 45 and works as a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles. Just like Yara, 90 Day Fiancé season eight co-star Mike Youngquist also has a twin in Blake Shelton. When told about the likeness on his Instagram, Mike joked that he’ll soon do a meet-and-greet with the celebrity singer. Perhaps, now that fans know why Yara’s face is so familiar, the two successful ladies will meet-up and take a selfie together.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 pm ET on TLC.
