Kate Beckinsale softened the difficult journey she’s going through by spending time with her daughter Lily recently… and the resemblance is uncanny.
The Underworld actress is caring for her mother, Judy, who is battling stage 4 cancer, but had a “brief and precious” getaway with the 26-year-old.
Kate shared photos on Instagram that included snaps of Lily, who is now all grown up.
With her long hair and striking bone structure, Lily is the double of Kate.
‘Extremely grateful’

Kate shares Lily with her ex, Michael Sheen. They both have a close bond with Lily who has followed in her parent’s footsteps by pursuing an acting career.

She added: “My parents are great about pushing me out and letting me fly and become the person that I want to be and to become the actor that I want to be.”
Kate’s relationship with Michael

She previously stated: “I love Michael. Michael’s fantastic. It shouldn’t necessarily have gone on and on forever with us, but he is one of my absolutely favorite people ever. I think we both felt that it was really important for Lily, our daughter, to have everybody coming from the same place.”
She added: “Michael loves her, and I love her.”

Kate’s mom
Kate first revealed her mother’s diagnosis last year, shortly after the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, who passed away in January 2024 following a “massive stroke.”
Kate asked for prayers in an emotional social media post that read: “I wasn’t going to come back to Instagram but anyone who has a spare prayer or magic or miracle or sunbeam please send it to my mama, my most extraordinary, warrior, generous, humble, loving, unique, irreplaceable Mama.
“Thank you – Lord, keep her safe this night, secure from all her fears, may angels guard her while she sleeps till morning light appears, amen.”
