Couple Discover They Are Cousins After 17 Years Of Marriage And Three Kids Together

A happily married couple who share three children have revealed how they discovered they were related after taking a family tree DNA test. 

Celina and Joseph Quinones, from Colorado, had been together for 17 years when Celina decided to dig into her family tree. 

The mother-of-three didn’t get too far into her lineage when she discovered a huge shock – Joseph was also her cousin.   

Posting on TikTok under the handle @realestatemommas, she broke the news of how the couple found out they were more than just man and wife. 

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.’

The clip quickly went viral and has now had 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.
