Two happily married couples were left in shock after a 23andMe DNA reveals that they are cousins.
The couples named Celina and Joseph Quinones, had wedded after a four-month relationship, had three children together but the wife always questioned the ancestry origins of the kids due to a disparity in their skin and hair colours and textures.
Celina, who spoke on the Love Don’t Judge podcast, said: “I started really diving into my DNA because I wanted to find out my heritage – my daughter is really dark-skinned, and my son has curly hair my middle child is light-skinned, and everyone would ask ‘what are you what are you?’ I couldn’t really give an answer except Native American.”
Hence, she confirmed that the couples decided to go for a DNA, but was left shattered from the results of the test.
“When I realised that we were cousins I was a little sick to my stomach, and was thinking, ‘Should we get a divorce? Are we even supposed to be together?”
Celina, however, said that their indecision prompted her to post a video of her talking about the situation on TikTok but was met with several shocking comments, but racking up millions of views in the process.

What was amazing was that none of Celina and Joseph’s relatives knew each other at their wedding.
The couples later realized that Joe’s father’s grandmother had been adopted, which caused the mistake because of poor record-keeping.
“Colorado seems so big, but it’s really not that big. Everyone knows everyone, and most likely, everyone is related”, Celina said.
To avoid this situation to happen to other people, the couple created a dating app, Before We Be, for prospective couples.
