Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe share surprising family connection after years of comparisons

NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS ENOUGH! I LITERALLY PUT MY DRINK DOWN BECAUSE MYHERITAGE CAME OUT AND SAID SYDNEY SWEENEY AND MARILYN MONROE ARE ACTUALLY NINTH COUSINS ONCE REMOVED. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? THEY TRACED THE FAMILY TREE ALL THE WAY BACK TO SOME DUDE NAMED EZRA PERRY IN MASSACHUSETTS FROM THE 1600S. IT LINKS THROUGH SYDNEY’S DAD AND MARILYN’S BIOLOGICAL DAD. MEANWHILE, EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT ABOUT HER SPORTS BETTING AD BUT BILLY BUSH IS ACTUALLY DEFENDING HER STRATEGY, CALLING IT BRILLIANT BECAUSE SHE GOT EQUITY IN THE COMPANY BEFORE THE AD BLEW UP WITH FORTY MILLION VIEWS! PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPARED THEM ANYWAY, BUT NOW THERE IS ACTUAL GENETIC PROOF OR SOMETHING. IT IS JUST WILD. I AM SO INVESTED IN THIS DRAMA. SORRY I TALKED FOR THAT LONG, THE SONG IS GOOD THOUGH.

SO THEY HAVE FINALLY ADMITTED IT AND I AM SCREAMING. APPARENTLY SOME EXPERTS AT MYHERITAGE DECIDED TO LOOK INTO THE SYDNEY SWEENEY AND MARILYN MONROE COMPARISONS AND FOUND OUT THEY ARE LEGITIMATELY RELATED AS NINTH COUSINS ONCE REMOVED! THE ANCESTOR IS EZRA PERRY FROM THE 1600S. THAT IS A LONG TIME AGO TO BE TRACKING DNA. ALSO, EVERYONE IS LOSING THEIR MINDS OVER HER NEW GAMBLING COMMERCIAL, BUT BILLY BUSH SAYS SHE IS A MARKETING GENIUS BECAUSE SHE SECURED EQUITY BEFORE IT GOT FORTY MILLION VIEWS. IT IS SO MUCH ALL AT ONCE! PEOPLE COMPARED THEM BEFORE FOR THE LOOKS BUT NOW THE WHOLE FAMILY TREE THING IS OUT THERE. WHY ARE THEY LOOKING UP PEOPLE FROM THE 1600S TO FIND CONNECTIONS? ANYWAY SOMEBODY HAS TO ANSWER FOR THAT.

MyHeritage research determined that Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe are ninth cousins once removed through a shared 17th-century ancestor, while Sweeney also faces backlash for a betting advertisement.
