When you mentioned Multiplicity, it reminded me of Peter Hamilton’s ongoing Void series. There’s a well to do character in that series that makes many copies of himself, of different ages. One of the female characters has a relationship with him/them. The central theme isn’t really cloning though.
I didn’t mention that I’ve only seen the trailer for Multiplicity. I am tarring it only by that, not actually having seen it.
