Recently, Tyga has been spending a lot of time with a young Instagram model named Val Mercado.
We don’t know for sure if Val and Tyga are dating. Heck, we’re not even certain that Kylie and Tyga are really broken up.
But if Tyga and Val are an item (which seems to be the case), we think it’s safe to say that T-Raww definitely has a type.
Val isn’t quite as much of a dead ringer as past Kylie lookalikes, but if she copies the Selfie Queen’s style any harder, Ms. Jenner may want to consider filing for an order of protection.
We kid. Val’s probably just a fan who’s living the dream by hooking up with Kylie’s ex-dude.
Sure it’s a little weird, but the important thing is that like Kylie, Val understands the importance of a good selfie. Check out some of her best work in the gallery below:
Val Mercado
Val Mercado, seen with Tyga in January 2016, is a Kylie Jenner doppelganger.
Val Mercado Lips
Of course, you can’t fully mimic Kylie’s look with a pair of artificially enhanced, heavily glossed lips. As you can see, Val’s all over that.
Val Mercado Poses Like Kylie
Val’s even got Kylie’s favorite poses down. Here, she executes the classic “semi-nude with peace sign” maneuver. High degree of difficulty on that one.
Val Mercado, Kylie Jenner Lookalike
Val seems to have a two-step plan to becoming the queen of Instagram: 1. Look like Kylie Jenner. 2. Pose seductively in bed a lot. Looks like it’s working so far.
Val Mercado Cleavage
Kylie, of course, for her (possibly surgically enhanced) curves. Based on this photo, we’d say Val might have her beat in some areas.
Val Mercado, Kylie Jenner Doppelganger
Val even experiments with hair colors that are similar to Kylie’s. We think this one is called Granny Greenish-Gray.
Val Mercado Bikini Photo
Val in a bikini. Say what you will about Tyga, the man has good taste.
Val Mercado Topless
Val still looks a lot like Kylie here, but she’s showing us that she could transition into being a J-Lo doppelganger at some point. She’s a woman of many talents!
Val Mercado in Bed
Like Kylie, Val likes to pose in bed. We suppose that’s the most appropriate place for giant, pillowy lips like those.
Val Mercado Pouts
Clearly, Val as been studying Kylie’s favorite expressions. She’s got the pout down pat.
Val Mercado With Curly Hair
We don’t recall Kylie ever experimenting with curly hair. But if she ever does, she’ll look an awful lot like this.
