A Utah woman recently revealed that she accidentally married her cousin.
Marcella Hill is her 41-year-old business owner from Utah, USA. Recently, she posted a video on TikTok about her and her husband’s reality.
She said she and her husband were expecting a baby and searched the internet for baby names.
“I was sitting on the couch looking for names for the baby that we were about to have and I was on [genealogy site] FamilySearch,” she said in her now-viral TikTok video.

“I saw this line and it’s the same as mine. So I was like, ‘Oh, you’re still logged into my account,'” she added. It turns out that Grandpa is Grandma’s first cousin.”
The TikTok influencer said her grandfather was her husband’s grandmother’s cousin, making her third cousin of the two.
“I married my cousin by mistake,” Marcela said with a laugh in the video.
The couple also called their grandparents to confirm their suspicions, and it turned out they were right.
“Of course, certainly. They grew up together as children,” she said. “We (Marcella and her husband) are third cousins.”
Marcela also revealed that she and her husband won the “Nearest Relatives” award for her neighborhood activism.
She concluded the video by saying, “If I go to a family reunion, he can go to him at the same time.”
Marcella’s TikTok videos of hers have so far received over 937,000 views of her on the platform, with over 90,000 likes and her over 1,300 comments.
“Third cousin is no big deal. You’re good but hilarious,” one user commented on her video.
She wrote, “All right, Cousins 3. Grades,” she wrote second. “So, in a way, your baby is his own fourth cousin to her,” was her third comment.
“Don’t say you’re from Utah, just say you’re from Utah,” added another. “Why didn’t you notice at the wedding?” someone asked.
Marcella made another video to answer her last comment, stating:

“Wedding? What a wedding! We got married at the courthouse on Wednesday after work,” she told her followers.
“Let’s say there is our wedding and Grandpa and Grandma are there and it turns out that we are third cousins at the wedding. What do we do?” she asked rhetorically.
“Maybe that’s why we need a wedding,” she wrote in a comment. “Court on Wednesday? Sounds like a nice cousin,” he joked.
“If you had a wedding, it would have been like a fellowship,” added another.
