An American couple is making waves on the internet after they announced that they discovered that are actually siblings.

In a stunning announcement, the couple claimed that they discovered that they are brother and sister after 10 years of marriage.

The couple’s announcement was made on the video-sharing social network site Tik Tok. In the short video, they claimed that they have just discovered that they are siblings. They revealed that they have been together for the past 13 years. Of those 13 years, they have been married for 10 years and have two children together.

They did not reveal further details as to how they had made the unpleasant discovery. Given that the two seem to share some similar facial features, the post blew up and went viral. In just about 72 hours, the post had attracted over 33,000 likes and over 7,000 comments.

Others commiserated with the couple and wondered how they would proceed following such a stunning discovery. Others were less charitable and said that the two should have known that they are related by merely looking at each other. Some also questioned why the two were sharing such a dark part of their lives with the world, opining that some things are best-kept secret.

Some were sceptical and said the so-called confession had all the hallmarks of a joke, albeit one in bad taste.

Below are just some of the reactions to the couple’s astonishing announcement.

Unfortunately, cases of couples discovering that they are siblings are not as rare as you may think.  Back in 2014, a Brazilian couple shockingly discovered that they were brother and sister after a solid seven-year marriage and a six-year-old daughter together.

In 2011, a South African couple who had been in a relationship for 5 years was devastated to learn that they were also brother and sister just before they were about to marry.  The two who had been raised by single parents made the shocking discovery when they introduced each other to their families.  They learned that they were actually siblings who were separated following their parents’ bitter divorce.
