- *7th Heaven* star Mackenzie Rosman's 4-year-old daughter Ophelia is nearly identical to when her mother played a young Ruthie on the family drama.

- "She looks exactly like her mama," a social media user commented regarding the likeness.

Like mother, like daughter applies perfectly to Mackenzie Rosman and her little one, Ophelia.

While recording an episode for her podcast *Catching Up With the Camdens*, Rosman's 4-year-old popped up to surprise her cohosts and former *7th Heaven* costars, David Gallagher and Beverley Mitchell — who played Simon and Lucy Camden on the series,

"Are you hanging out with Mommy today?" Mitchell asked Ophelia, who bears a striking resemblance to Rosman's Ruthie Camden from early episodes of the family drama.

Users commented on the video noting how Ophelia looks so much like her mother when she was young, with one user writing, "Not Ruthie with a Baby Ruth!"

Another user commented, "Mackenzie Rosman’s genes absolutely said 'copy/paste' with her daughter! She looks exactly like her mama in the early days of 7th Heaven!"

Rosman was just six years old when *7th Heaven *first* *aired in 1996. The long-running family drama centered on Eric Camden (Stephen Collins), a Protestant minister in California, and his wife, Annie (Catherine Hicks), as they raised their seven children.

The series also starred Jessica Biel as Mary, Barry Watson as Matt, and Nikolas and Lorenzo Brino as twins David and Sam. Hayley Duff, Tyler Hoechlin, Ashlee Simpson, and brothers George and Geoff Stults all had recurring roles. *7th Heaven* ran on the WB and later The CW from 1996 to 2007.**

Jessica Biel explains being afraid of '7th Heaven' sister Beverley Mitchell: 'She was tough, man'

Mackenzie Rosman starred as Ruthie Camden on '7th Heaven'.

Biel recently appeared on the podcast to reveal she was "secretly a little afraid of Beverley" when they worked together.**

"I say this with all the love in the world — because I love her — She was tough, man.... I pushed her buttons. It was such a sisterly relationship. I think I did it because I looked up to her and I loved her. We got under each other's skin in the best way possible," Biel shared on the podcast.

Nonetheless, Biel said she appreciated the "camaraderie of all the kids."**
