Relationship with Kirk Van Houten

Trivia

There was speculation on internet message boards about whether or not Luann and Kirk were related, citing the similarity in appearance, but Matt Groening cleared up the issue in a 1998 TV Guide interview, claiming that people are often attracted to those who look like them, citing (former) real-life celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, by saying that "Brad Pitt looks like Jennifer Aniston in a wig".
