A married couple with three children discovered they were cousins after ten years of marriage.
According to the People, the couple found out after taking a DNA test to learn more about their family tree.
Celina Quinones, a realtor from Colorado, shared the news in a TikTok video that has been viewed over 4.4 million times since it was posted in March — and reaction to the video has so far been mixed.
“There’s a lot of negative comments, it’s horrible,” Celina tells PEOPLE. “People keep asking, ‘Why would you do that? Why would you post this?’ But I take everything with a grain of salt. I’m a realtor, so I’m used to getting badgered all the time, so I’m like, ah, it’s nothing.”

Just after a few months of dating, Celina married her husband, Joseph Quinones, in July 2006. Though their families met then, no one suspected they were related.
“We ended up having our wedding, and even then, our grandmas seemed to be a lot alike, and they got along, but still, nothing clicked,” she recalls.
Adds Joseph: “We didn’t think about it. I never saw her at family reunions, funerals, or weddings.”
