Helen Hunt Shares A Rare Photo With Her Lookalike Daughter Makena Lei

Helen Hunt marked National Daughters’ Day with a photo featuring her 20-year-old daughter Makena Lei, who wore a white top with matching sneakers and black pants. Helen was right beside her in a white shirt and jeans as they posed for the mirror selfie.

The resemblance between Helen and her daughter was even more obvious as they stood side by side, looking like the blonde and red-haired version of the same person. The 61-year-old looked gorgeous as she accessorized her outfit with a pair of sunglasses, a black bag, and matching shoes.

Fans complimented Helen and Makena, saying they both looked cool in their coordinating outfits. They also left sweet remarks about Makena’s red hair, with one fan teasing that her daughter has the same hair color. “Cheers to your daughter,” another simply commented.

Back in May, Helen posted a throwback birthday photo of Makena to celebrate her 20th, and fans joined her to celebrate via the comments. “I’m so proud to walk alongside as you live this righteous life. I love you forever and beyond. Mama,” Helen wrote.

Helen had her only daughter with her ex, producer Matthew Carnahan, in 2004, and she has since found fulfillment in motherhood. Makena graduated from high school in 2022, and now attends Northwestern University in faraway Illinois for college, even though Helen wanted her close to the West Coast.

Like Helen, Makena has shown her interest in the entertainment industry with a few acting credits and a budding music career. While in high school, Makena formed a band named Thea with her friend Rhea Garten, releasing their first EP in 2022. Makena released her debut solo album Call It a Home in January, with a photo of Helen on the cover.
