At first, people on Twitter pointed out the physical similarities between the “Lizzie McGuire” star and Pedretti.

But it wasn't until Duff began posting pictures of her and her husband on their honeymoon in South Africa that fans really started to freak out.
Comments on her Instagram read: "This reminds of a joe and love" and "why do they look like love from YOU in the second picture? Is it just me?"
