Oh, brother!
A New Jersey TikTok user has discovered she has at least 50 secret siblings and now lives in fear of dating a man she is related to.
The user — whose handle is @IzzyVN_98 — took to the social media site to share her story last month, with her video now seen more than 115,000 times.
Izzy explained that she has two mothers and that her biological father is an anonymous sperm donor with whom she has had no contact.
In written text that appeared over the top of the clip, Izzy stated that she took an ancestry DNA test back in 2018 to find out her father’s ethnicity.
The youngster learned she wasn’t as Italian as she initially believed, but thought little about the test until she was contacted by a stranger on Facebook many months later.
“I get a message from a random woman asking if I’m related to a specific person or family because I matched with her daughter and I said no,” Izzy wrote. “So then she asks if I was a sperm baby because her daughter was too and now I’m freaking out because she could be my sister because I am a donor baby.”
Izzy went on to reveal that she began messaging with the woman, who gave her a link to a private Facebook group filled with people who all had the same sperm donor dad.
The TikToker was shocked to learn that there were a whopping 50 members in the private group — meaning she has at least 50 half-siblings. She says she has no idea how many other half-brothers and -sisters she has out in the wider world who have not yet learned of the link.
“Now there’s paranoia about overpopulation because some of them are afraid there are so many of us and we may end up dating someone who happens to be a sibling,” Izzy declared.
Izzy revealed her two moms met in 1986 and later sought an anonymous sperm donor to help them have children. TikTok / @izzyvn_98In a subsequent video, Izzy elaborated on the situation, saying her two moms met back in 1986. After a decade of dating, the couple decided they wanted to have children.
One of the moms worked with a fertility clinic, using sperm from an anonymous donor. She became pregnant with triplets in 1998.
Izzy was one of the triplets, meaning she has two full biological brothers, with whom she was raised.

Despite discovering who their father is, Izzy says she and her brothers do not have a relationship with him.
They have also not begun friendships with their 50 half-siblings, with Izzy saying, “I feel really uncomfortable. It’s a really abnormal thing.”
Meanwhile, Izzy isn’t the only TikToker to discover a dark secret after taking a DNA test.
Las Vegas woman Jordyn Meyers shared a video to the social networking site saying she grew up without her biological father and assumed she was the product of her mom’s fling with a man in Puerto Rico.
However, she was stunned to find out that her real father was an Afghan native whose family was living in Sin City, just a few miles from her home.
