'He's Your Twin': Fans Are Stunned by 'Malcolm in the Middle' Star Frankie Muniz's Son Resemblance to His Dad

Netizens are swooning over the striking resemblance between Frankie Muniz and his son after seeing the doting father's post showing heartwarming familial moments shared with his wife and other loved ones.

On March 28, 2025, Hollywood star Frankie Muniz, best known for the beloved series "Malcolm in the Middle," took to Instagram with an endearing carousel post. He gave his followers glimpses of the wonderful time he and his beloved wife, Paige Muniz, had with their son, Mauz Mosley Muniz, and family in Miami.

One photo in the carousel shows a bright, sunlit moment — Frankie sitting beside his son and a young relative, the trio perched on a painted bench framed by palm trees and blue skies.

Dressed casually, the actor-turned-race-car-driver is all smiles, with little Mauz nestled between his dad and their loved one holding a shake with his twinkle-eyed grin.

Another shot captures Frankie in his element — suited up in his racing gear and standing proudly beside his bold red car, moments before taking on a high-octane track event in collaboration with Ryder System, Inc. and Ford.

Though he jokingly mentioned finishing in 24th place, his expression radiated fulfillment, as if the thrill alone was enough to make the race unforgettable.

While Frankie's pictures showcased other members of his family, the heart of the carousel belonged to Mauz. A collection of photos from his dinosaur-themed birthday showed the little boy celebrating with his cousins while donning a handmade party hat.

In one particularly tender moment, Paige knelt in front of him as he prepared to blow out the candles of a colorfully decorated cake, her smile filled with the kind of love that words often fail to capture.

More glimpses of family fun showed Mauz bowling with his cousins, cuddled up with a storybook read by Frankie, and throwing frisbees with a family member on the Miami shore. The little boy's personality burst through in every frame — fearless, joyful, and full of curiosity.

The black-and-white cover image in the series displayed a shot that froze time for just a second: Paige kissing Mauz's cheek as she lifted him off the sand. Frankie stood beside them, grinning widely and shirtless under the sun.

The photo radiated a quiet magic — one of unity, laughter, and the kind of happiness that can only be found when life slows down long enough to savor it.

After speaking about the fun race car adventure he had, Frankie captioned, "Then my son's birthday was on Saturday. My mom, sister brother in-law and nieces sure made him feel so special. Also some much needed rest and relaxation at the beach [sic]."

He continued, "I race in Martinsville tomorrow then head straight to Vancouver to start filming the 'Malcolm' reboot! Gonna be a busy year. PS, I thought I was in much better shape than I see in the photo. Extra gym sessions coming up!"

Fans wasted no time flooding the comment section of Frankie's post with affection and awe, zeroing in on one detail that stood out above all — the uncanny resemblance between the doting dad and his son.

"He's your twin," one person declared, while another echoed this sentiment. A third commenter reiterated, "Omg he looks like a mini Frankie!!"

Others were just as taken by the father-son similarities, marveling, "His son looks just like him, wow," and pointing out, "Wow, the kid in the dinosaur t-shirt really looks like you."

Of course, Mauz's undeniable charm didn't go unnoticed, either. "Mauz is SO CUTE," gushed one admirer, summing up the collective sentiment surrounding the little boy who had clearly stolen the spotlight — and a good number of hearts — with his bright smile and boundless energy.

Years before they welcomed their beloved son into the world, Frankie and Paige, who share a passion for acting, built their love story since meeting in 2016. They tied the knot soon after.

More than being a doting wife and mother, before she met and wed her husband, Paige Muniz forged a name and career in her own right.

After growing up in a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania, Paige started her modeling career when she was 18. She changed her last name when she became a model and won the Miss Classic Kumite title in 2013. From 1983 to 2001, she also appeared in various movies and TV shows.

After three years as a model, Paige set her sights on golfing when she was offered a job following her 21st birthday. She left behind her dreams of becoming a forensic pathologist and began hosting segments for a golf network and attending majors to interview players.

When he met his future wife at the Frank Sinatra 100th anniversary invitational, Muniz had already placed his acting career on hold.

Despite the success of "Malcolm in the Middle," which aired from 2000 until 2006 and co-starred Bryan Cranston, Muniz left Hollywood in 2006 to avoid taking a turn for the worse and to try his hand at other skills.

On the matter, he said, "So many people go down a bad path, whether it's drugs, alcohol – whatever it may be... whereas for me, I've always been super focused on what I was currently doing because I wanted to be the best at whatever I was doing. And that's how I am."

After becoming a professional race car driver, Frankie competed in various championships from 2007 to 2009. After joining a band, he toured worldwide and had a window of opportunity to reflect on his life as a young actor, which left him grateful.

After Frankie and Paige had been dating since April 2016, he proposed in November 2018 at the Lantern Fest in Casa Grande, Arizona. The New Jersey actor took to social media to share a handful of pictures from their special day, which included the couple kissing under a night sky filled with lanterns.

That same year, they purchased a store in Old Town Scottsdale and sold premium olive oils and aged balsamic vinegar.

The couple adopted a hands-on approach to their business as first-time store owners; they spent long hours keeping track of inventory, bottling, labeling, and selling their products, stacking shelves, and offering customers tours of their store.

Frankie shared that he was a numbers man, and while Paige was in charge of their shop's Instagram and website, he had developed a love for handling the payroll and finances. However demanding, it was something the couple enjoyed.

Regarding their business, Frankie shared, "We were looking for something to do together. We live and breathe this store right now. It's the only thing we have time for. But we love it."

When Paige and Frankie got married in 2019, they found time to put work to the side and exchanged vows during a private ceremony on October 3 of that year. The couple hiked up Camelback Mountain at sunset and, in front of three guests, said, "I do."

In black outfits, the couple posed in front of a rocky background as Paige clutched an arrangement of colorful flowers. They eloped while undergoing renovations at their home, which took nearly two years to complete.

After enjoying the intimacy of a private ceremony, Paige and Frankie also hosted a wedding for all their friends and family at their home.

However, Frankie joked that there was no way he was having his floors scratched and moved the wedding from their then-newly renovated home to an event space in Phoenix ten days before the big day.

While speaking about his wedding day, the actor divulged, "I always thought it was such a cliché for people to claim their wedding day as the best day of their life, like maybe it was something they had to say. No, my wedding day was literally the best day of my life."

The bride and groom chose to get ready together before entering their ceremony hand-in-hand in front of 40 guests. They skipped out on having a party and decided to bond with those closest to them over a five-course dinner, which included steak and sea bass.

However, Paige and Frankie's wedding day proved to be one for the books after a fire broke out during their wedding ceremony. Paige's choice of dry florals and candles led to 10-foot flames after some of the flowers were knocked into a candle.

"Everyone was screaming," Frankie recalled. However, he also shared that the fire was tamed, and they could resume as planned. Although Paige and Frankie's wedding was something they threw together in 10 days — and the bride almost ran out of time to find a dress — it was still a magical experience.

Over a year after their wedding, in honor of their anniversary, Frankie shared a picture of himself and Paige celebrating their anniversary with a family picnic at Rattlesnake Cove on October 3, 2021.

Before that, on September 27, 2020, he shared a short clip announcing that he and Paige were expecting their first child, even though their chances of being parents were slim.

In the Instagram video, Paige can be heard saying, "When we found out that we were expecting, I think we were both in a state of disbelief. We knew that we wanted this, but we were told that our chances weren't that great... we beat the odds."

The excited couple announced the gender of their child on October 12, 2020, with a picture of them sitting in front of loved ones and gold balloons that read "Baby boy." Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Paige's high-risk pregnancy, the couple did not have a baby shower and chose to err on the side of caution.

On March 22, 2021, at 11:15 a.m., Paige and Frankie welcomed their son, Mauz, and they both took to their social media accounts to share pictures of their bundle of joy.

Frankie revealed a picture of his son's face on March 27, 2021, and shared his son's name. In an Instagram Story, the loving father said, "I love my baby so much. And I love my wife more than ever."

In December 2022, the family of three posed for Christmas pictures, and Frankie shared the adorable snaps of his son on his social media while revealing that he had been gifted socks for Christmas.

After welcoming his son, Frankie revealed that he was inspired to achieve his dream of racing in a series. At the start of 2023, he announced that he would be racing full-time in NASCAR's ARCA National Series Championship, disclosing, "Finally making my dream a reality. This one is for my son and showing him that you can always chase your dreams."

After walking away from the race track a decade ago, the former "Malcolm in the Middle" co-star said that while he hoped to achieve success on the race track, he was also pursuing a personal victory of achieving one of his most important goals.

Returning to the world of racing has also allowed Frankie to set an example for his son, who will grow up watching his father make his dreams a reality and work hard to do so.
