‘I Did a Double Take’: Toya Wright Fans Mistake Her for Daughter Reginae Carter in This Photo

It’s safe to say that Toya Wright and her eldest daughter Reginae Carter strongly resemble each other.

The “How to Lose a Husband” author left fans in a daze this weekend after showing off her flawless looks in a recent post. She took to Instagram on Saturday and shared an image of herself rocking denim while lounging inside a hair salon.

Wright sported light-washed denim capris, a gray t-shirt, a denim jacket and black booties. She accessorized her look with a white crossbody bag and gold accessories and flossed her new shoulder-length haircut. She added in her caption, “You can’t go wrong with denim…love my fit ❤️”

Carter and Wright have a tight-knit relationship with each other despite their different outlooks on certain situations, like the 20-year-old’s former relationship with ex-boyfriend and rapper YFN Lucci.

The 36-year-old television personality welcomed Carter with ex-husband Lil Wayne, when she was only 16 years old. She didn’t have 1-year-old Reign Rushing, her second child, until she was 35. Nevertheless, Wright admitted to Kontrol Magazine, in which she was featured for Mother’s Day, that she’s stern when it comes to her children.

“My mother didn’t raise me, but she’s always been a loving mother,” the mother of two explained. “When I had Reginae I was extremely young and didn’t know the first thing about being a mom. I’m more experienced now.”
