Whoopsie?

In 2016, driven by a curiosity about her ancestry, Celina Quinones decided to take a DNA test. What she uncovered in the results was a truth that neither she nor Joseph could have ever imagined. The man she had been with for over a decade and the father of her children was, in fact, her blood relative. This revelation turned their world upside down, leaving them to face a reality that defied everything they had known about their relationship and their family¹.

I was just curious about my ancestry. Not my 'incestry"...Boy, that was unexpected!:ROFLMAO:
 
People kiss the asses of royals all over the world, and they do worse than that. My wife and I are not blood related, but if it had popped up that we were after the fact, I would have just shrugged and moved on.

Well yeah, No telling how many couples out there may be pretty close through blood but unknown. Guess sometimes just let sleeping dogs ly. But if you find out after the fact, what's done is done, no sense in calling it off now.

You have to wonder what kind of stuff 23 and me and Ancestry have dug up. Boy howdy, I bet there could be a hell of a podcast just about oh shit, wtf stories. Probably is already.
 
Hell, first cousin marriage is legal in a number of states.

Some states ban it, a handful go so far as to make it a criminal offense.

Anything beyond first cousin is not even problematic.

And even first cousin presents only a extremely tiny risk increase of genetic ailments.

Incest laws should be limited to direct ancestors/descendants, biological siblings and biological half siblings. Beyond that, there is no compelling state interest in legislating.

The story doesn't say if they are first cousins (which might be problematic) or third cousins (which isn't a big deal at all.)
