37-year-old Celina discovered that her husband Joseph is her cousin after 10 years of marriage and having 3 children. The couple met 17 years ago at a Halloween party and had not been apart since.
The DNA test Joseph took to research his ancestry revealed an unexpected truth. The test results showed that the couple is third to fifth cousins.
Celina said, "I felt sick when I learned we were cousins." Although Joseph initially denied it, he accepted the truth after reviewing the data.
The couple described this situation as a "turning point." Although they considered divorce, they decided to stay together for their children.
Although the children were initially surprised, they gradually accepted the situation. Their eldest son confessed, "Sometimes I feel weird because it's not something to be proud of."
When Celina shared her story on social media, she faced negative comments. Some people found their marriage "disturbing," while others expressed sadness for the children.
Joseph said, "We found out after 11 years, and it's been 3 years; this is not something you can just leave behind."
Despite the negativity, the couple stated that they still love each other and are focused on their children's future. Celina added, "I believe the future will be better; I just want to see our children succeed."
This unexpected situation has sparked discussions about family ties, genetics, and social norms, but Celina and Joseph's priority has been their children's happiness and family unity.
