Me and my man have two kids together but have made a shock discovery about our past – we’re terrified to tell our family
A WOMAN’s life has been flipped upside down after realising her boyfriend is actually her nephew.
The 32-year-old made the shocking discovery after her boyfriend, Miguel, who was adopted as a baby did a DNA test to find his biological parents.
He was stunned to find out that his long-term girlfriend, pregnant with their second child, was in fact his aunt.
Taking to Reddit, the girlfriend wrote: “I just found out my boyfriend, 23, is related to me – I don’t know what to do. The only people who know are me, Miguel, and my doctor.”
The woman is fearful that the pair’s daughter, who she is pregnant with, will have something generically ‘wrong’ with her, and it seems the couple isn’t sure whether they should tell the rest of the family of their news.
The DNA results show Miguel’s mother to be the woman’s 39-year-old sister, named Vanessa, who ran away from home as a teenager.
She said: “Vanessa was a troubled child. She ran away at aged 15 and we have never heard from her since.”
After Vanessa left home, the sister turned her attention to working up the ladder in her corporate job.
But her career was put on pause after she fell pregnant with her eldest son.
“I have only been in two relationships. [The first being with] my baby daddy, who left me when he found out I was pregnant. He went to prison and was killed there,” she added.
“[My other was] a girlfriend who I ended it with after she went to prison [too].
“We started dating after my baby daddy left, while I was pregnant. She was actually going to adopt my son but then only two days before I gave birth, she was arrested.
“Ever since, I have only focused on my job and son.”
That was until her job was transferred across the country, providing her with a much-needed fresh start in a new state.
A few days after settling into her new home, she met her boyfriend Miguel.
She added: “
Our relationship started as a fling but then it got serious. I ended up pregnant and had my second son, aged two, and now I’m currently seven-months pregnant. My oldest son recognises Miguel as his father.
“The thing about Miguel is that he was adopted, he knew his whole life (we are Hispanic, his parents are white).
“He also was definitely mixed with something. He was told his birth mother was Hispanic, so his father was likely another race.
“Last year, Miguel did an Ancestry DNA test, which he found out he was half-Hispanic, half-Chinese.
“After the DNA test, he was interesting in finding his birth parents. He had the contact information at 18, but he was not interested at the time.
“Well, he was able to get his birth mother’s name, Vanessa.
“I joked that my half-sister had the same name, but we looked at the medical report which gave information about Vanessa.
“It showed that Vanessa was a minor, aged 16, who signed away her rights and left no contact information. No father was listed.”
The woman then bought her own DNA kit and was stunned to see it was the same Vanessa.
She spoke to the doctor, who said there was nothing wrong with the pair’s two children, but now the couple’s relationship was on the rocks.
“Miguel is currently staying at a hotel but to be honest, I really want him back. After we talked, we felt the same way,” she said.
“I don’t know what to do. I’m just so confused. We are still in love.”
People were quick to share their thoughts on the relationship in the comments section of the post, with many claiming to keep the secret to themselves.
One person wrote: “If this were me I’d just take it to the grave. Don’t tell anyone.”
Another commented: “No no, just no. This was wrong from the very beginning. You were 29 and started dating a 20-year-old intern. Were you his superior at work? But you didn’t stop there, did you? You went and had two kids with him and now he’s adopted your first son.”
“Remove your data from the DNA website. It is up to you. The main problem is genetic and you are fine on that one.
“You have children together so you will always be connected with him, so you cannot exactly ignore him anyway,” penned a third.
