Jennie Garth's Kids: Who Are Her Lookalike Daughters?

While Jennie Garth is most well known for playing Kelly Taylor on the iconic 1990s teen drama "Beverly Hills, 90210," she's likely to say being a mom is her favorite role. After she met fellow actor Peter Facinelli on the set of "An Unfinished Affair" in 1996, Garth and the "Twilight" star welcomed the first of their three daughters in June 1997. Luca Bella Facinelli would be followed by the former couple's second child, Lola Ray Facinelli, in December 2002, then by the youngest of the trio, Fiona Eve Facinelli, in September 2006. 

Though she and the "Nurse Jackie" alum divorced in 2012 after marrying over a decade earlier in 2001, the duo has worked to co-parent amicably for the sake of their daughters. They've fostered such a healthy dynamic that they even went on a family vacation with their kids and current partners in 2016. During a 2021 appearance on Yahoo! Life's "So Mini Ways" series, Garth said the key to their co-parenting success has been putting their daughters ahead of everything else. "So often when couples break up and get divorced, it's all about them and the divorce and the drama of all of that," she said. "But there's so much happening to those kids during that time, and I think it's important that we focus on that." 

So who are Jennie Garth's three lookalike daughters?

In May 2023, Luca Bella Facinelli graduated from The New School in New York City. Her actor parents, former couple Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli, reunited to support their eldest daughter as she received her college diploma at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum shared a series of photos of the special day on Instagram, including a sweet snap of herself and Luca in her cap and gown, as well as a heartwarming shot of herself and Peter with Luca sandwiched between them. The proud parent vibes are palpable, even through the screen.

"So happy for my @lucabellabella as she completes a huge chapter in her life," Garth wrote in her caption. "So much hard work paid off for this moment. I can't wait to see what's next for you my sweet." Luca responded just as warmly, writing, "Thank you Mommie. so grateful you were there (and are always there for me)."

Before she obtained her college degree, Luca Bella Facinelli spent some time working in her parents' industry. In November 2019, she and her mom, Jennie Garth, starred in their first film together: Lifetime's "Your Family or Your Life." The drama follows Dr. Kathy Meyer, played by Garth, after her husband is believed to have committed suicide. The devastating situation takes a nefarious turn when Meyer and her daughter April, portrayed by Luca, suspect the cause of death was not self-inflicted — an assumption that puts them in danger as well. 

In addition to her major network debut, Luca also starred in a television series titled "Interracial," another called "Ad Out," and the short film "Luna." The college grad hasn't appeared in any productions since the Lifetime project, but her dad, Peter Facinelli, revealed in August 2023 that she was working for a non-profit organization in New York City.

After graduating from The New School in May 2023, Luca Bella Facinelli decided to keep calling New York City her home. Though the Big Apple seems to suit Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli's eldest daughter, having her live so far away from their Los Angeles home base has been an emotional adjustment. In July 2023, the "What I Like About You" alum shared a heartfelt tribute to Luca on Instagram. Alongside several candid moments between the mother-daughter duo, Garth wrote, "If I'm being honest, having my @lucabellabella live across the country feels like someone is ripping my heart apart. It's knowing she's safe and grounded and happy, those are the only thoughts that ease that pain."

Though Garth and Peter are no longer a couple, the "Twilight" star feels similarly to his ex when it comes to their firstborn being so far from home. During an August 2023 chat with Us Weekly, the dad of four shared, "Luca's in New York, I miss her dearly. She works for [a nonprofit] and she writes. I'm really proud of her; she's very creative," he said.

From international trips to excursions within the United States, Luca Bella Facinelli travels often — and she documents her adventures on Instagram. As of this writing, The New School grad's most recent trip was to Italy, where she attended the 2023 amFAR Venezia fundraising event. Earlier the same year, Facinelli traveled to Utah for a family wedding and France just a few weeks before that for a tropical getaway on the coast. In 2022, Facinelli hit the Hamptons for a break from school, Turkey for an opulent overseas vacation, and Costa Rica to ring in the new year — and these are only the trips she chooses to share with the public. 

Even when she isn't flitting around the globe on an airplane, Facinelli acts as a tourist in her chosen home of New York City. From romantic canoe rides in Central Park and late-night art gallery exhibitions to foodie adventures and Serena Van der Woodsen-inspired city frolics, Facinelli seems to always be on the move, eager to experience the world around her.

Jennie Garth's middle daughter, Lola Ray Facinelli, struggled with an autoimmune condition very early on in life. When Facinelli was just 5 years old, she began experiencing pain in her body. The discomfort grew so unbearable that the family sought out medical attention for the little girl, and doctors eventually diagnosed her with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, also known as Still's Disease. It is a type of arthritis that causes problems with joints as well as some vital organs.

Garth opened up about the difficult period of time during an October 2022 interview with People. "It was definitely a hard time for our whole family," the actor shared. "She was in the hospital for quite a number of days and received treatment there." Thankfully, Facinelli's pain-ridden days are long behind her. At the time of Garth's chat with the outlet, she said Facinelli was enjoying a pain-free life with no symptoms of Still's. 

When Lola Ray Facinelli went to prom in 2021, she wore a gown that was handmade by a very special star: her mom, Jennie Garth. The proud mama opened up about how the one-of-a-kind dress came to be, writing on Instagram, "Ok, so tbh when my daughter said 'I wanna make my prom dress' she really meant 'Mom I want you to make my prom dress.'" Garth admitted that she doesn't exactly have any experience with making clothes, let alone creating formal gowns. But she gave it a shot anyway, and the end result delivered.

Garth wrote, "The thing is, she could have asked me to buy her some fancy dress but she wanted it to be homemade. She wanted that. I dunno, it just makes me proud. And it made her so proud to be able to say 'my Mom made my dress,'" she added. Days later, the actor revealed that her daughter's strapless sheath gown was the first dress she'd ever made. Garth told Entertainment Tonight, "It came out so good. I was really shocked. I didn't have a pattern or anything. I did it off of a picture she gave me." The silk floor-length prom dress Garth created for her daughter was simple but stunning with a thigh-high slit in the skirt, a square neckline, and figure-flattering ruching at the waist.

In June 2023, Jennie Garth revealed she and Lola Ray Facinelli share a hidden talent: cake-making. For the wedding of a family friend, the mother-daughter duo came together to create a vibrant cake for the nuptial celebrations. Though it was simple in size, the cake's design was anything but. With Grinch-colored frosting, an assortment of intricate piping, and two faux peacocks as cake toppers, the wedding dessert was kitschy, bold, and quite cool. "A huge thank you to my sweet @raylolaray for all your help in making their dream wedding cakes (see the last slide) come to life, I couldn't have done it without u!" Garth wrote on Instagram.

Wedding cakes aren't the first dessert Garth and Facinelli have collaborated on — in fact, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum told CBS News in December 2012 that baking is something she does with all three of her daughters around the holidays. "We make a lot of cookies," Garth said, adding, "It's one of our favorite gifts to give — fresh baked goods."

After Lola Ray Facinelli graduated from high school in June 2021, she followed in her big sister's footsteps by pursuing a college degree at New York University. Lola's father, Peter Facinelli, revealed in August 2023 that his middle daughter's professional passion is fashion. The "Nurse Jackie" alum told Us Weekly, "She has some fashion ideas and ideas for clothing lines, and she's going to school [to] learn that." Considering Lola's handmade prom dress project with her mom Jennie Garth, it's not surprising that she would continue shaping her life around her love for all things style.

In August 2021, Garth spoke to People about Lola spreading her wings to attend college. The actor admitted that it was hard to wrap her head around another of her daughters reaching adulthood, but she was able to find solace in the fact that she fulfilled her role as a parent with not just Luca Bella Facinelli, but Lola Ray as well. "I remind myself that this is what I've worked as a mother to ultimately do, let my bird leave the nest and fly," Garth said. She added, "I also take a beat to remember how exciting life is at that age, and all the future experiences she will have, and I get excited for her. That usually makes me redirect my emotions around it all. After all, it's not about me — it's all about her and her future!"

Like her older sister Luca Bella Facinelli, Lola Ray Facinelli has shared the silver screen with their mom, small screen veteran Jennie Garth. In 2011, the mother-daughter duo acted alongside one another in the movie "Accidentally in Love." While Garth starred as the leading woman in the film, Lola's father, Peter Facinelli, co-wrote the screenplay, making it a full-fledged family project. 

The TV movie follows single mother Annie Benchley, played by Garth, and the unexpected relationship she develops with Eddie Avedon, portrayed by Ethan Erickson, after they get into a car accident with one another. Lola doesn't have a large part in the film, but she is credited with the role of "Little Girl." While she tried her hand at acting several years before her big sis Luca made her on-screen debut, "Accidentally in Love" is Lola's sole acting credit.

Jennie Garth's youngest daughter, Fiona Eve Facinelli, is still in high school as of this writing. For her 16th birthday, which took place in September 2022, Garth gifted Facinelli a very special belated present in April 2023: a brand-new BMW SUV. The "What I Like About You" star shared the lavish surprise on Instagram, posting several photos and videos of her daughter beaming over her new ride. "Happy new car baby girl!" Garth wrote. "I [love] you @fionaeveee PLEASE BE CAREFUL," the mom of three added.

The grand birthday present caused quite a stir online, with many people criticizing Garth's choice of luxury vehicle for Facinelli's first car. "A new BMW? Nothing like a golden spoon..." one Instagram user wrote in the comments, adding an eye-roll emoji. Though many expressed sour sentiments about the shiny white BMW, Garth's fans also defended her choice of car for her youngest child. "I don't see a rich brat I see a hard working mom giving her kid a gift that she worked hard to give her," a supporter commented.

Being the child of one celebrity, let alone two, can't be an easy path to navigate as a teenager. While being raised by actors Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli, Fiona Eve Facinelli has chosen to lead a quiet life, rarely posting on her own social accounts and very seldomly appearing on her parents' pages. Though not much can be gleaned online about the former couple's youngest daughter, the "Twilight" star shared a brief update about her endeavors during his August 2023 chat with Us Weekly. 

"She lives half the time with me, half time with her mom, so I get to see her all the time," Peter told the outlet. He added, "And she's in high school, so she's just being [a regular teen] in high school. She doesn't have to figure anything out yet. She's got a couple more years [left]. She's in cheerleading and just enjoying being a teenager." As she should!

When Jennie Garth shared a heartfelt 17th birthday tribute for her youngest daughter, Fiona Eve Facinelli, on Instagram, fans were stunned by how much the rarely-seen teen resembled her mom around the same age. For the September 2023 social media post, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum chose a candid shot of herself and Fiona lounging side-by-side on a couch. From their golden hair to their big blue eyes, the two blond women look remarkably similar — so much so that droves of fans compared Garth's daughter to Garth's most iconic role.

Garth's comments were packed with mesmerized messages, including "She looks like Kelly Taylor," "Kelly Taylor 2.0!" and "What a beautiful mini version of you! And yet I see her dad [Peter Facinelli] as well!" While Luca Bella Facinelli takes after the "Twilight" alum more than her younger sisters, each of the Facinelli women have physical qualities that resemble both their parents.

Sixteen years after he and Jennie Garth welcomed their youngest child, Peter Facinelli became a new dad again. In September 2022, Luca Bella, Lola Ray, and Fiona Eve Facinelli became big sisters to half-brother Jack Facinelli, whom their dad shares with his fiancée Lily Anne Harrison. The "Nurse Jackie" star spoke to People after his son's first birthday, telling the outlet in October 2023, "It was really, really cute to see [my daughters and son] all together [for Jack's birthday party]."

In August 2023, the actor shared a sweet photo of his four kids on his Instagram Story. Fiona held Jack, beaming down at the little boy while their older sisters stood smiling behind the sitting pair. Lola looked serene as she held one of her brother's tiny hands, and Luca towered over her siblings, perfectly embodying her role as the eldest of the Facinelli bunch.

No one bonds a group of sisters like Taylor Swift, and the Facinelli girls are no exception. In August 2023, Luca Bella Facinelli, Lola Ray Facinelli, and Fiona Eve Facinelli joined their mom Jennie Garth for Swift's Los Angeles leg of her Eras tour. The "What I Like About You" actor documented their "Enchanted" evening on her Instagram, sharing photos of their dreamy dresses, Swiftie-style friendship bracelets, behind-the-scenes moments from an event sponsored by People, and a few images of her daughters brimming with excitement in the stadium while waiting for the concert to begin.

"A lifetime of singing in our car brought my tribe together for such an epic night!" Garth captioned the carousel, noting the' longstanding love for Swift she shares with her daughters. She added a heartfelt note addressed directly to the "Midnight Rain" singer, writing, "@taylorswift I want to personally thank you for the years and years of feeling seen you have given my girls thru your gorgeous lyrics and story telling. You were a constant in their childhoods." She continued, "[T]hank you for helping me shape them into the incredible women they have become and for shining your beautiful light for the world."
