Singer Ciara and former MLB player Derek Jeter have recently found out that they are related. The new revelation came out on the show, Finding Your Roots where the two sat down to discuss their DNA findings.
“Yeah, that is your DNA cousin,” Dr Henry Louis Gates Jr. said to Jeter.
“What the world?! You are kidding me! Derek Jeter!” Ciara said surprised as well.
“Ladies and gentlemen, she is looking at former New York Yankees Derek Jeter,” Gates added to the audience.
The show went on to explain that the two share a long identical stretch of DNA on their 14th chromosome that Derek inherited from his mother.
Ciara also noted of the new finding on Instagram where she wrote:
“The moment I learned @DerekJeter was my cousin! Crazy! Thank you @drhenrylouisgates for such an incredible experience! This was a dream come true to learn about my family genealogy!”
