Dylan Sprouse shared some seriously unexpected family news on the Wildmen Podcast. According to an Ancestry test, both sides of his and Cole’s family intermarried during the California Gold Rush. Dylan didn’t hold back, calling himself and his twin“children of incest.”When he called Cole to share the discovery and sent a photo of the results, Cole simply said he wasn’t looking and hung up.
The story kept unfolding from there. Dylan got suspicious when he learned his father’s uncles were identical twins, since he figured twins only ran on his mother’s side. It turns out both lines trace back to the same family, which explains seven sets of twins across four generations. He also shared that an aunt absorbed her twin in the womb, and a cyst removed from her shoulder was found to contain teeth and hair.
On a brighter note, Dylan and wife Barbara Palvin welcomed their daughter Sylvie on September 7. Will the new baby get a DNA test someday, or will the family let this mystery rest? Would you want to know what your ancestry results say, or are you closing the app like Cole?
