Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
CELINA, 37, and husband Joseph, 44, from Colorado, had the shock of their lives when they found out after three children and 10 years of marriage, they were in fact cousins. This all started when Celina decided to look into her heritage, however she never thought she would uncover a truth that would shake the very foundations of their happy family. Celina told Truly: We decided to do our DNA test and that's when we found out. I was a little sick to my stomach. In my head I thought we were supposed to get divorced. Despite this 'devastating' news, the couple had a loving family and decided to stay together. But when they shared their story online, they were met with a tirade of judgement and hate. The couple said: People have called it 'sick', 'why would you marry your cousin? ' It's 'disturbing' and 'disgusting', 'I'd be embarrassed if I were those kids'. Regardless of the hateful comments the family have received, Celina and Joseph remain defiant and with the support of their family, ignore the haters so they can continue their life together. Joseph added: To the people who were giving us negative comments, it's easy to speak on the outside without knowing the whole inside story. We found out almost 11 years later, three kids later. It's just not something you break up and walk away from

Idk how you couldn't have had a single suspicion that this wouldn't go viral with how social media is? I don't fault them for staying together. They didn't realize they were related, and they're at least genetically different enough to not really have complications with their children. I personally just wouldn't have been so open with the general public, and that -public- is pretty massive when you post online about things like this. I think I would've considered how letting -the world- know about this could potentially affect my children. I've never had to deal with something like this, so ofc I can't say how I would've definitely reacted in their position, just how I THINK I would've -

This is no big deal. Cousins marrying is ancient history. Charles Darwin married his first cousin. In times and places where people didn't travel more than 20 miles from home, inhabitants of a village would intermarry and intermarry until over time, everybody was related to everybody else in multiple ways on both sides. This allowed recessive genes to be expressed with results such as physical deformities, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. That's the origin of the term -village idiot. - Fortunately, this has ceased to be a problem except in deep Red states where they're easy to spot because of all the Confederate flags and red caps.

This is much ado about nothing. 1st cousins have the same grandparents, 2nd cousins have the same great-grandparents, 3rd cousins have the same great-great grandparents, a connection that probably goes back 100 to 150 years ago. Most people, like these, don't even know their 3rd cousins, and regardless there is very little connecting genetics by this point.
Besides, 2nd cousin marriage is legal in all 50 states, and 1st cousin marriage is actually legal in many states too - and not back-water states either, it's legal in California.
Someone needs to educate these people on this topic, for gosh sakes!

I'm happy for them, they didn't know they were cousins, I love seeing a happy family. buttttttt whyyyy puttttt your business out there? like they should've kept dat shi to themselves, just for the sake of the kids. Now I know I'm taking a DNA TEST w everyone I meet cuz no ma'am idc we 3rd 4th 5th cousins family is family. My trust issues are up there now.
reply

I truly see nothing wrong in all these, looking as they had no clue 15 years ago. The only issue I see is why she thought the entire world had to know. like if you were very much concerned about the bullying your kids might face then you shouldn't have hopped on tiktok.
But anyways y'all seem like sweet people and I hope your kids have it easier.

People in modern society don't use brain. That how human race was developed. In ancinet times people lived in small communities around 20 - 50 people. Do you think that they weren't related? In such small communities between native people it's totally normal. Just because we stopped use brain, so we make from it halo. --
reply

People make it seems like marry a cousins is a big of a deal, with all the undisclose adoptions, parents giving up their rights, so many children in the system with no idea who their families are, what do you expect? We are living in a dysfunctional society, with so many problems bigger than marrying your 5th cousin.
reply

3rd to 4th cousin marriage has actually been determined to be optimal for genetically healthy offspring. Closer than that is notorious for being risky, but farther than that has its own potential for genetic problems. Most people in a nation who have a similar racial background are on average 6th cousins.
reply

Im some states you can legally marry 1st cousin if your over a certain and age and over the age of childbearing. I had a client that was older and married her 1st cousin, she kept telling me she wasnt raised with him and from another state. Hmmm i guess she was justifying.
reply

My great great great grandpa was an early settler in the area I live in. There was an article in the 60s about him saying he has 10, 000 descendants in the area. that seems crazy but. if thats the case im definitely checking ancestry before dating! Yikes
reply

The slippery slope Christian Conservatives like myself warned about. Remember the left that said -love is love-? This is what you'll get. Having a baby with someone biologically related to you is strange, because what might happen to the baby.
reply

3-5 doesn-t even count. You guys made it sound like you were 1st. Why even make an issue of it and put the kids in all over the internet? People are so obsessed with social media and feel like they have to put their business out there.
reply

To me its crazy how they accepted it for what it is like knowing they are cousins and have 3 children together yah thats weird as hell knowing they accept it if that was me i would of got a divorce instantly no matter what ---
reply

its normal to be 3rd to 5th cousins. I thats like having a common great great great grandparent, if you were 2nd to first cousins thats a bit weirder. 5th cousins is like only sharing 50 cm in common on average.
reply

3rd to 5th cousins? Wow, I was convinced they were 1st cousins the way they approached the topic.
I'm sure they have checked, no doubt, that at best they share 2% or less than 1% of DNA.

reply

There are so many people out there throughout the ages that have unknowingly married their cousins. And those people didn't have DNA tests. I think this happens a lot more than people think. -
reply

They-re hardly related. I bet many people from small towns marry their 3rd-5th cousins without even realizing it. The royal family is related even closer than that. This isn-t a big deal.
reply

I don't find anything wrong with this. My mom and dad were second cousins and they had 6 healthy kids. But when is a brother or sister like royalty do, then is a different story.
reply

I'm happy that their happy but yeah I probably would of left out the cousin part. cause lets be real when people hear cousin their first thought is generally 1st cousin.
reply

She still didn't say why she made it public? If they don't want the kids bullied then why even have them involved in this documentary? I have so many questions.
reply

3rd to 5th cousins is nothing! It's not even worth telling people. Noone knows their 3rd and 5th cousins. It's not even illegal to marry your first cousin
reply

You can't really be hard on them because they didn't know until after it was too late. Then what were they supposed to do when they already had a family?
reply

That-s when you found out? Y-all look exactly alike! Lol you-d think they-d have noticed their facial features being nearly exactly the same -.
reply

Queen Elizabeth married and had 4 children with her known third cousin so you-re right in line with Royalty. Plus 3-5th is not that big of a deal.
reply

I thought they chose to marry each other. I was looking at the comments and trying to see if anything negative was going to be mentioned.
reply

3rd to 5th cousins is nothing - who cares, they are far enough removed. I thought they were 1st cousins, now that would be a bit concerning.
reply

So they did not kno they were cuzzin so it-s probably distant cuzzins and welp after 10 years there is really nothing you can do about it
reply

Queen Victoria and Albert her husband were first cousins. Even though Gone With The Wind was fiction, Ashley and Melody were cousins.
reply

Do you know how little DNA 5th cousins have? This is the biggest non issue ever. This is like a gag joke to tell at a party.
