Married couple with three children recall the ‘pivotal moment’ after DNA test revealed they’re cousins

The couple had been together for 17 years before they found out about their family relation

A married couple remember the exact moment they found out they were cousins - 17 years into their relationship with three children.

Some people look at their family trees to get a bit of knowledge about their family history, and use DNA tests to find out interesting facts about where their descendants came from.

But Celina and Joseph Quinones from Colorado had the shock of their lives after it was revealed they were in fact cousins.

The couple had been together for 17 years and married for ten when Celina decided to delve into her family tree.

Speaking on YouTube channel Love Don't Judge, Celina said: "A DNA test confirmed that we are third to fifth cousins.

"In my head, I thought we were supposed to get divorced.

"But then I started thinking to myself, for our children, for our household - we need to keep it together."

She described the time in their lives as a 'pivotal moment'.

In the clip, when asked how she felt about the situation, her daughter said: "It's kind of normal because they're my parents, and there's nothing really weird about it."

While their son said: "Sometimes I feel a bit weird about it, because it's not something you want to brag about."

He noted that the situation would have been different if his parents made the discovery before they became married.

The mom shared a video on TikTok explaining their unique situation, and why she feels comfortable coming to terms with it.

Celina said: "I wouldn't change it for the world... Cousband and wife for life!

"There is a reason why good couples look alike. I am just over here raising awareness.

"I ain't gonna let a little bit of blood destroy what we created, this beautiful family."

The family has received a lot of hate online for staying together after making the shocking discovery.

But Celina's message to trolls said: "Let me divorce him because we didn't know.

"Let me just tell our kids their parents are not together anymore because of other people's opinions.

"No thank you, we will just be staying cousins, spouses, and lovers forever.

"Now go throw up in your mouth some more."
