Woman finds ‘twin’ through facial recognition software - but they are not even related

Two woman have found their exact look-alikes thanks to facial recognition software, leaving even their parents wondering if they are related.

Ambra and Jennifer look so alike that Jessica's mother asked if she was adopted, but the two women are completely unrelated.

The pair had never even met before a website matched them as identical strangers with twin faces.

Ambra from North Carolina and Jennifer from Texas met through the online platform called Twin Strangers, which helps people find others who look just like them.

Users put in their facial dimensions and the algorithm searches for others with similar faces.

It is unusual for such an exact match however and Ambra and Jennifer, who were 23 and 33 at the time, were featured on an episode of Twin Strangers.

“You’re my daughter, oh my god, you look so much like my daughter," said the astonished mother.

“Your smiles are the same, how is this possible, you’re not adopted? I want to see your family tree.
