The woman who became an internet sensation thanks to her striking resemblance to Ted Cruz can be named as 21-year-old Searcy Hayes.
Hayes, a mother-of-one from Vicksburg, Mississippi, sparked a social media frenzy after a still from her appearance on the Maury Povich show was posted on Reddit.
Her views on Cruz and his presidential campaign remain unknown, although she has responded to the social media frenzy on her Facebook page - describing her new found fame as 'this Cruz thing'.
Looks a bit familiar: Searcy Hayes is not a registered Republican or Democrat. Her political views remain unclear
She also revealed that she has been bombarded with questions by friends about her newly high profile, complaining that 'everyone is asking me about this Ted Cruz thing'.
She added: 'Idk [I don't know] what is going on. I fly out today at 1.30 to find out what's up.'
Hayes had appeared on the Povich show in a segment entitled '5 Men Tested - Will I Find Out My Daughter's Father Today?' on Monday.
She and her boyfriend took part in a DNA test to see whether he was indeed the father of her baby son Jayden Tyler Green - with Hayes later posting news of the positive result on Facebook.
Her boyfriend, Freddie Nathan Green Jr, is also an active social media user and has a Facebook profile littered with pictures of Hayes and their son.
The young couple, who both hail from Mississippi, are now thought to have set up home together in the small Louisiana town of Vidalia.
Social media hit: The show joined in the fun - and is to offer a catch-up later
