Why does everyone comment on how pretty my ex-girlfriend was but say nothing about my new girlfriend?

Why does everyone, including my buddies and strangers, compliment my ex girlfriend on her looks saying she's beautiful but say nothing to my current girlfriend when she is standing right there as well? I can tell that it makes my girlfriend feel awkward when she gets ignored.

My girlfriend also tends to get jealous and says she feels insecure when everyone says how beautiful my ex is and they say nothing to her. I try to reassure her that she's so much better than my ex but she feels like she doesn't measure up because of what other people say. What should I do?
