8 Celebrities You Might Not Know Are Related
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, they say, and in the case of many celebrities, it’s true. From Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey to Zac Efron and Dylan Efron, these famous folks are related—and not just distantly so! Here are eight celebrities you might not know are related.
1) Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is often associated with Paris Hilton, who is her first cousin. Her mother, Dina Lohan, also starred in a sex tape, released as 1 Night in Paris — although she maintains that it was not her in the video. Lindsay has been dating 21-year-old Egor Tarabasov since November 2015 and they have said they plan to marry. She most recently appeared in an Instagram post asking fans to support his new business venture. Linday’s other cousins include Kim and Kourtney Kardashian as well as Nicole Richie and Kyle Richards — all of whom grew up together on shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Simple Life.

2) Kylie Jenner and Tyga
If you live under a rock and don’t know who Kylie Jenner is, she’s Kim Kardashian’s daughter and also happens to be one of the rich kids of Instagram. If you don’t know who Tyga is, you must not listen to any music that wasn’t released in 2005. Kylie (who just turned 18) was born on August 10th, 1997—coincidentally, Tyga was born on that same day! He is currently signed to Cash Money Records. I guess it's safe to say they are related!
Another two celebrities who were born on August 10th are John Lennon and Martha Stewart. Okay, so there aren’t really any similarities between these two celebrities, but they do have one thing in common—they share a birthday! Lennon was an English singer-songwriter and activist best known as one of The Beatles; Stewart is an American businesswoman who founded her own lifestyle brand called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
3) Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus has always been quite open about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, which makes sense: they met on a movie set (the 2010 romantic comedy The Last Song) and have been dating ever since. However, if you’re a die-hard Miley fan who follows all of her personal endeavors, it’s not impossible that you didn’t know about Hemsworth—because he was part of a different famous family before he married Miley in December 2017.
Liam Hemsworth is Miley Cyrus’ husband, and her first cousin. Yep—he’s one of Billy Ray Cyrus’ kids. Billy Ray was married to Miley’s aunt, which makes Liam and Miley step-cousins.
4) Jimmy Fallon and Chris Rock

Rock is married to television actress Malaak Compton, who is Chris' cousin. The couple have one daughter together. Jimmy and Malala have a relationship outside of their family ties, too. In 2003, they performed on stage at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater as part of a tribute to James Brown. They sang It's a Man's World.
Jimmy Fallon is known for hosting The Tonight Show and, before that, his own show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. However, did you know that he's actually related to comedy legend Chris Rock? Yep, they're both cousins. Jimmy is Chris' first cousin twice removed. If that's not enough connections between these two funny men, they also performed together in 2003 at Harlem's Apollo Theater as part of a tribute to James Brown. They sang It's a Man's World alongside comedian Martin Lawrence and soul singer Bobby Byrd (who wrote and produced it).
Out of all the items on his resume so far — which includes TV show host and comedian — my favourite fact about Justin Timberlake has to be that he used to date Jessica Biel!
5) Anna Wintour and Alexander McQueen

Yes, they’re both famous in their own right, but did you know that Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour is related to Alexander McQueen? McQueen was born Alexander Smith on March 17, 1969 in London. His parents are named Anne and Bill, and Wintour is his mother’s maiden name. The fashion designer died at age 40 of an apparent suicide in 2010. Before he passed away, he designed outfits for Lady Gaga, Kate Moss and Rihanna (including her 2006 Grammys dress). In addition to editing Vogue from 1989 until 2013, Wintour has also been editor-in-chief of The Face magazine and Harper's Bazaar US.
6) Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are quite possibly Hollywood’s most adorable couple—but did you know they actually met on Friends ? In 2010, Jennifer went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and confessed to a list of celebrity hookups that included Justin. When asked about her secret success, she jokingly replied, I just find people who are already in relationships ... I don’t even know how it happened. Turns out Justin was also in a relationship at the time. The two started dating in 2011 and were married three years later (and they say celebs aren’t good at keeping it in their pants).
7) Kim Kardashian and Colin Farrell

Colin Farrell and Kim Kardashian are related, but they might not know it. It turns out that Mary McCarthy, a great-aunt of Kim’s mom Kris Jenner, is also Colin’s great-grandmother. Sounds crazy, right? Keep reading for a few more celebrities you might not know are related!
How did it happen? A Reddit user traced their family trees, finding that Mary McCarthy was a woman from Kilkenny, Ireland who married an Irish-American. They moved to Boston in 1907 and had five children together. One of those kids – John McCarthy – eventually fathered another son, who would become Colin Farrell’s grandfather. Now you know!

It should be Reddit users not just Reddit. The latter has a specific meaning.
8) Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, & Jenifer Aniston
In 1995, Brad Pitt began dating Aniston. While Aniston was still involved with her former boyfriend, a young man named David Arquette, he introduced her to his friend, actor and comedian, George Clooney. Clooney and Aniston began dating in late 1995 after Pitt and Aniston broke up in January of that year. In March 1997 both couples married on back-to-back days. Both women had babies nine months later (Clooney’s son Alexander born on June 27th; Pitt’s daughter Shiloh born on May 27th). Angelina Jolie is their step-daughter from Jennifer's first marriage to her former fiancé Jonny Lee Miller. She also has three other children: Zahara Marley (b.
