After taking a family tree DNA test, a married couple with three kids revealed how they learned they are cousins.
When Celina Quinones made the decision to research her family history, she and Joseph Quinones had been married for more than ten years and had been together for 17 years.
She dug around and found out Joseph was her cousin.
She revealed how the couple learned they were more than just husband and wife in a TikTok post under the username @realestatemommas.
She wrote: “Married my husband in 2006. Not thinking anything of it we had three kids. Come to find out we were related and cousins.”
Celina then urged other couples to check their heritage.
CONFUSION AS MAN COMMITS SUICIDE IN LAGOS
The clip quickly went viral and has now had over four million views, with many people posting negative comments about their continued union, saying they should separate.
She described the moment she first discovered her husband was actually also her cousin as “devastating,” but says their love is stronger than ever and that she’s ignored negative comments suggesting they divorce.
She wrote: “This was three kids in that I found out we were related. I did my DNA test I think in 2016 and yeah it was devastating because I was like ‘babe we’re related are we even supposed to be together? This is weird’. It really freaked me out.
“I wouldn’t change it for the world… Cousband and wife for life! There is a reason why good couples look alike. I am just over here raising awareness.”
She explained how they’ve moved on from the discovery, writing: “My kids and my husband are my everything and we looked past it. All our kids have 10 fingers and 10 toes. It’s a good ice breaker lol.”
