"I've actually got 18," she claimed in a viral TikTok video, posted under the username @ellieblythe. Shocking her viewers even further, she added: "Not only do I have 18, some of them are also my cousins." Ellie said that she does not want to have to explain this on dates, as it is too complicated. The TikToker gave no further information on how this is possible, and didn't give any evidence to back up her claims. However, the post quickly garnered the attention of TikTok users, racking up 200,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts. One person said: "18 siblings?! what's your mum? was she a cat?" A second person said: "have two cousins who are also my stepbrother and stepsister." A third person said: "I would happily go on a date with you just so I could hear this story." Top 5 Controversial Celebrity Family Moments And Ellie isn't the only person to have an unusual family tree. Celina, 37, revealed that she had three kids with her husband, before realising he was her cousin. The secret came out, after her husband Joseph, 44 did a DNA test to find out more about his heritage. "When I realised that we were cousins, I was a little sick to my stomach", Celina told Love Don't Judge. The world's biggest families The Vassilyev family This family currently holds the record for the most children a couple has parented, after the matriarch gave birth to 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and seven sets of triplets. Mrs. Vassilyev has given birth to a total of 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and 7 sets of triplets. 67 of the 69 children survived infancy. The Radfords Sue and Noel are parents to 22 children, and their hectic family life is documented in reality show 22 Kids and Counting. The pair have remained adamant that they won't be having any more kids, but the amount of grandchildren they have is ever expanding, with daughters Sophie and Millie both mums of three. The Duggars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have 19 children - 10 sons and nine daughters. All of their children's names begin with the letter J. They also had their own reality show in the United States, and became household names because of it. The Bates family Kelly also has 19 children, with her husband Gil Bates. Of 19 deliveries, 14 of them were natural. The couple also have 28 grandchildren, with four more on the way. The Dougherty Dozen Mum Alicia frequently shares videos and pictures of her family. She and husband Josh have four biological children together, as well as adopting or fostering the rest of their brood. The Rosario family Yalancia and husband Michael are parents of 11. They had their first daughter together earlier this year, and are also parents to Jamel, 15, Michael Jr, 11, Angelo, 10, Gimani, seven, Armani, six, Sincere, three and Khaza, two. Their fourth son, also named Armani, was stillborn. Joseph was in complete denial at first, but after looking closely at the data, realised the truth. The DNA test confirmed that the duo are third to fifth cousins, and the revelation left them questioning their relationship. "I thought we were supposed to get divorced, but then I started thinking that for out children we need to stay together", Celina said. Celina described the revelation as a "pivotal moment" as "you're not supposed to be with your cousin, but it happened that way". Joseph added that he meant it in his wedding vows when he said: "Till death to us part", so he decided not to leave his wife due to the discovery.

Woman, 68, who married toyboy, 25, admits 'everyone always says same thing'
Kay and her husband Ablack, who is 43 years her junior, have shared the story of their whirlwind romance after they got engaged just 72 hours after meeting in person A 68-year-old woman has tied the knot with a man 43 years her junior, after their connection on social media blossomed into marriage. Kay and her 25-year-old beau Ablack had no inkling that their online interaction would lead to them saying 'I do'. Merely three days after their first face-to-face meeting, they were engaged. Despite scepticism from people, the couple maintain that their bond is based on genuine affection and romance. During an appearance on the YouTube channel Love Don't Judge, Kay, hailing from the US, recounted: "He liked something I posted. I don't even remember what it was. He went from somebody who liked my post to my very best friend. I could tell him any and everything and it just grew stronger and stronger." Kay revealed she "had a dream" about visiting Nigeria which spurred her desire to travel there. After discussing it with Ablack, he arranged her flight and assisted with other travel arrangements. "When he showed up at the airport to come and get me it was like, 'Oh my God you're real, you're really here', it's not a scam," she expressed. The proposal came swiftly; musician Ablack popped the question three days into Kay's visit, convinced by a sign from his prophet that they were destined to be together, leading to their marriage in October 2024. Despite their joy, the couple has faced challenges in gaining acceptance for their unconventional union, encountering significant criticism. Ablack, who often provides glimpses into their life together on his Instagram account @ab_ablack2, found himself labelled a "fireboy" when their wedding photo became an internet sensation. He remarked: "I never imagined I would date someone older than me. Some people say, you're married to your grandma, she's too old for you." Kay, undeterred by the remarks and having been wed three times before, feels rejuvenated around Ablack. She considers herself Ablack's "queen" and attests that Nigerian men treat their partners exceptionally well. She continued: "I'm his priority. If I want something he just gets it for me. In the states, you don't get that." With frequent travels between Nigeria and the US, she is making plans to settle in Nigeria for good. Kay emphasised the uniqueness of her bond: "I've never felt love like this before. This is the one I'm supposed to be with, I just had to wait a long time for him to be born. "We are a single unified force when we're together," she claimed. "I love her so much, she is everything I need," Ablack chimed in.
