Clone an Eloquent object including all relationships?

Question

Is there any way to easily clone an Eloquent object, including all of its relationships?

For example, if I had these tables:

users ( id, name, email

Here is an updated version of the solution from @sabrina-gelbart that will clone all hasMany relationships instead of just the belongsToMany as she posted:

    //copy attributes from original model
    $newRecord = $original->replicate();
    // Reset any fields needed to connect to another parent, etc
    $newRecord->some_id = $otherParent->id;
    //save model before you recreate relations (so it has an id)
    $newRecord->push();
    //reset relations on EXISTING MODEL (this way you can control which ones will be loaded
    $original->relations = [];
    //load relations on EXISTING MODEL
    $original->load('somerelationship', 'anotherrelationship');
    //re-sync the child relationships
    $relations = $original->getRelations();
    foreach ($relations as $relation) {
        foreach ($relation as $relationRecord) {
            $newRelationship = $relationRecord->replicate();
            $newRelationship->some_parent_id = $newRecord->id;
            $newRelationship->push();
        }
    }
