‘She Is Your Twin’: Evelyn Lozada’s Post With Niece Takes a Turn When Fans Say They Look Alike

A lot of people said that Evelyn Lozada has a twin, and they weren’t talking about her sister or daughter Shaniece Hairston. They were referring to her niece Mia, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday.

The “Basketball Wives”  star shared a photo of herself and niece on Instagram Monday, Feb. 17. Lozada is wearing a pink jacket, jeans and a white top, while Mia is also wearing jeans, a white top but a black jacket.

“Having you for a niece is the most wonderful gift I’ve ever received. Happy Birthday! @miaochoa_ ❤️🥰,” wrote Lozada in the caption.

It seems like the women are nearly the same height in the photo, and their hairstyles are similar too, which could be part of the reason why many say they’re identical.

“She is your twin,” one person wrote under the photo, which has received over 78,000 likes so far.

“She could be ur daughter!!” someone else followed.

“OmG! She looks exactly like u!😍,” another person commented.

“She looks more like your daughter than your daughter,” read another message.

Other people told Lozada how strong her family genes are and how beautiful they find her.

There were also some who said they were taken aback after reading the caption, because they were convinced that Mia was Lozada’s daughter and not her niece.

“Wow mini you,” another comment read.

“Your sister birthed your twin 😍… Happy Birthday to your niece 🎉🎉🎉,” someone else stated.

Mia also posted a photo to celebrate her birthday. She shared it on Feb. 18 and is wearing a short burgundy dress with heels.

“Cheers to 21! 🥂,” she captioned the photo, which, according to the tag, was taken at the Asian-styled eatery Tao in Los Angeles.

“Beauty is her name 😘❤️😍,” wrote Lozada underneath that pic.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
